It is with sorrow and great concern that I continue to follow the spread and escalation of the conflict in Lebanon. Let us pray for the victims, for their families, and for peace.
The U.S. support of Israel has cost Americans 17.6 trillion dollars when you factor in the compounding interest of all the foreign aid plus the “war on terror.” So if we did not support Israel, every American household would have an extra $200,000 in cash, let that sink in.
So you’re telling me I’m not a Christian and neither are my people because you went to Lebanon what four fucking times in your life you think you know my fucking country I could go to the US and say that everyone here is Spanish. Do me a favor and shut the fuck up when it comes about Lebanon because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
Most Lebanese are Christian and the president of Lebanon has to be Catholic by law. I’m actually Greek Orthodox so even as a Christian I’m a minority because most Lebanese are Catholic. Yes, we’ve had immigrants from several different religions (up to 12) come in, including millions of Syrian and Palestinian refugees. So if you look at it, there are a lot of Muslims in the country - this is where the 32% Christian comes from - but it’s not true. As Lebanese our ethnicity and the way we were formed were Christians and providing a place where others can be safe being any religion in the Middle East. My area in Lebanon is still strictly Christian while Beirut is now mixed. It’s a long history and we have learned to live in peace with other religions. It’s the only way.
You want to know what’s crazy? I’m against Hezbollah and Iran and I’m thought of as being pro-Israeli. I’m against bombing innocent people and children and Israelis call me a pro-terrorist. I can’t win in anyone’s eyes and my home is getting demolished while I’m safe in another country.
Because of the situation we are in now. Jews and Muslims fighting in my Christian homeland. But Lebanon is now accepting of all religions yet still a Christian majority state. We’ve learned to live with one another in peace. Something that Israelis and Palestinians haven’t done and now the entire Middle East is paying for it.
@Brodie12Liam @frogslayer69@MrEvanRoss@mehdirhasan Yeah because I, a Christian Lebanese woman, can control what Hezbollah does?! Are you serious? They would kill me before killing any Israeli. You’re just saying words out of your ass right now. You just made yourself look incredibly ignorant for even thinking that
@ABennett2511@MrEvanRoss@mehdirhasan Ok Andrew Bennett from a country that knows nothing about Lebanon or my people. And your comment about Muslims is racist. I’m a Christian btw so I know I don’t fit your stereotype
@yoni202332 Ok you have a point. You have my respect. I’m against terrorism and I’m with fighting terrorism. But I’m not okay with innocent people dying no matter their race or religion. That’s everyone in this mess. Not just my people. That’s all I’m saying.
You can be against terrorism and against what Israel is doing at the same time. They’re just calling anyone who isn’t with them a terrorist while they kill women and children and innocent people. Gaslighting at its finest. The world is now seeing it.
Your words and actions do not match. That’s what the entire problem is here. That’s why there’s no argument. If what you’re saying is true, then why are some people sending me death threats..telling me they’re going to make my Christian home a parking lot? Laughing at a picture of a dead Lebanese girl saying they wish they could have raped her? Does that fit your innocent rhetoric?
@yoni202332 I’m not Hezbollah you dumbass. Why are you killing innocent people. This is your only response. Hezbollah this and Hamas that. I’m neither of them. Trying to make excuses for killing innocent people. But you’re all racist, violent and have no compassion for human life.
Lebanon is a Christian country. The President of Lebanon by law has to be Catholic Christian. God and Lord Jesus please look after Lebanon and its people. Our country has been attacked time and time again by both Jewish and Muslim regimes. Beirut was invaded 16 times and rebuilt 7. We will prevail as we always have.
@madhtr1@MrEvanRoss@mehdirhasan Interesting that you’re gaslighting me for your racism and ignorance. Don’t tell me what my country is or what my religion is you fucking. POS. Racist SCUMBAG
Lebanon is a Christian country. You just don’t want people to know what you’re doing.
You’re attacking Christians. You’re attacking Christians. You’re attacking Christians. Europe and the US will see what you’re doing. And you can’t call everyone a terrorist. You have hatred and bloodshed on your hands. And the world is seeing it.
@MrEvanRoss@mehdirhasan You are so ignorant, racist and full of hatred. You and your religion and people know nothing but hate, destruction and playing victim. You’re now messing with a CHRISTIAN country - we’re not Gaza. There are consequences for your actions, POS.
