"Remembering Beirut's synagogue, a jewel of Indian and Arab Jewry "

Remembering Beirut's synagogue, a jewel of Indian and Arab Jewry

Vijay Prashad17 Mar, 2025

It seems like a century ago I stood in the graveyard in Beirut's Al-Basta neighbourhood. There was magic in the graveyard, which is in an area of shops — bassata, from which the quarter gets its name, means to "spread your merchandise on the ground".

I had come on the advice of the Irish journalist Robert Fisk (1946-2020) to see where St. John Philby (1885-1960) had been buried.

During one of our coffees at Café Younes at the upper end of Hamra, I had brought along a copy of Elizabeth Monroe’s Philby of Arabia (1973) an old-fashioned biography riddled with errors but filled with charm — a book written based on Monroe’s conversations with Philby, who had gone from socialism to the British Foreign Office to Islam and then to being the principal advisor of King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia.

"You better go have a look at where Philby was buried," Fisk said. And what Fisk said, I did.

The jaunt, however, was a bit disappointing. I could not find his grave. It was said that Philby’s son, the famous British intelligence agent who had all along been spying for the Soviets, had scrawled on his father’s gravestone something about him being a great explorer. An ancient man at the cemetery told me that a lot of old graves had been covered over by the dead of the civil war.

I got lost on my walk back and found myself in front of the Maghen Abraham synagogue.

The building stopped me because it has an exterior that resembles a Venetian palazzo, the white and yellow ochre walls and embellishments a little out of place in what had been Beirut’s Wadi Abu Jamil, the Jewish Quarter.

I understand why the synagogue had been built in this fashion. Beirut is a city of trade and merchants, and it made sense for the Jewish community to erect a grand building to rival other grand buildings (banks and markets). The neighbourhood had other synagogues, mostly in apartments, so this was a statement of the community’s establishment rath...

The Syrians’ perspective of the border clash doesn’t make sense

1. Why drag 3 soldiers from Homs all the way to Lebanon’s border to stone them? How on earth were the aggressors, be they Hezb or clansman, not spotted?

2. If this is Hezbollah, why’d they execute them? Their style is taking hostages for a swap, they might as well kill them then and there instead of taking them captive just to stone them.

3. Why did the Lebanese Red Cross have the bodies of these soldiers and handed them readily to the Syrians?

Where were these dudes the past year?

Since hezeb decided a year ago, with their illegal weapons, to start a war on Israel, without even notifying the lebanese government and building shelters for lebanese, but got beat up so badly they lost most if not all their high-level commandment perished (most hiding in civilian areas like the rat Nasrallah), where were these "rambos" from last night during it? Why weren't they showing us their bravery on the southern border?

Why were the hezeb MPs hiding sleeping in the parlament, too afraid that the IDF picks them off? Whenever they can they will abuse our land and our sovereignty for their expansion of Wilayet Fakih project. Your weapons are all illegal you have no right to bear arms and you signed a surrender agreement that allows the IDF to pick you off if you break it as we saw for the past few nonth with the fatayis 🔥

Terrorist Hassan Nasrallah's main goal in Lebanon (in his own words, before he rotted in the sewers of Dahiyé)

Jackson Hinkle (the American who attended with Nasrallah's funeral with much despair) here talking to the US Director of National Intelligence.

I don't believe he is a spy per se, as much as that the Trump administration is genuinely schizophrenic. MAGA Far right-wingers have an extreme pro-Israel arm and an anti-semitic (Jewish conspiracies) arm.

Regarding the recent appointments , General security,army but specifically the airport, the Christians and the aounist in general has gone mad

Just because someone got appointed at the airport that is not Christian, I am seeing posts like this would have never happened if Michele Aoun was president, or blaming Geaga for it 🙄 I know aounit has an IQ lower than the dead sea, but we as a lebanese in genes when are we gonna stop caring for this shit ? Who the fuck cares if airport president is Muslim or Christian or devil worshiper ? Ironically in the US they have something similar called DEIA but it's based on race and ethnicity , and Trump is fighting that. End of rant

1,4 million attended Nasrallah's funeral according to Hezbollah, yet these 1,4 million couldn't do anything during the war. Only thing they are good at is beating lebanese up and dealing with drugs. Youtube video clip from: ناصر آل صوراني

Clergy men as leaders of parties. Not OK for thee, but OK for me.

I noticed One thing that doesn't get brought up quite enough, because it seems to be one of those things that have slipped through our collective consciousness as "that's how it is, 3adé". That the thing I am referring to is: How has it become normal for most Lebanese to see a clergy man always as the Leader of Hezbollah, and just shrug it off as "yeah, it's how their party is, not our business to question their choices".

Well, no. It is irresponsible to not question their choices. Especially in a country like Lebanon. And especially with a party that has total allegiance to a bigger clergy man in another country... And then we keep wondering why the Hezb get "brainwashed" so easily, and why they lack "critical thinking", and how come they say things so detached from reality? While it is true that you don't really need religion as a main ingredient to brainwash people; even a seemingly secular party can do that (SSNP for example). But throw in a dash of divine inspiration in the mix, and you can do wonders. And throw in divine orders (like Nasrallah used to like to do) and you get a whole community ready and willing to commit mass suicide (then come back and nag at the government for their plight...)

So, my next question now is mostly aimed at the seemingly "secular" supporters of Hezb and who don't question any of their choice - but full on religious Hezbos are also encouraged to answer as well.

Since it seems OK for Hezb to have their top clergy man leading a party, and deciding their political strategies and ideologies, which ends up affecting not only the communities that Hezb represent, but all of Lebanon as well. Would it be OK also for other parties to do the same? Would it be Ok for Owet to appoint some hermit from Kannoubin, who starts preaching that his visions told him that the Ottoman Ardognaian Empire os rising again, and that all Christians must arm themselves to the teeth? And to stay strong because the Vatican will fund them through illegal smuggling, and even send crusader missions to a...

Do you think that west might have secret role in starting the Civil War in 1975?

I personally believe that it was all caused by Soviet union,because it was fonding and supporting Syrian and phalestiam terrorists.
However,I noticed that what happened to Lebanon,is kinda similar to what happened to Iran,Afghanistan and Pakistan.And we know that west had it's own role in causing these events(Along with Soviet union).It make sense and west tried to make Lebnane Islamic like others by tricking soviet union against communist.
Buy I found no proof that any country aside Soviet union and its Syrian,Phalestian minions had any role in starting the Civil War.We know that media are controlled by west,so I thought maybe people in Lebanon could give me a better description on what happened(Though I know that there is no single answer).

Blindly obeying a ruler who doesn’t follow his own decrees

Yes, I'm referring to Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas, and all the other proxies Iran has in the region, in Syria, Iraq, and Bahrain.

I'm currently working on a huge documentary about this whole war, bs I've never understood this. Why do Shias in general follow Ali Khamenei’s fatwas as jihad and resistance?

Men marja3ak, marja3a al sayyed ali.. The number one marha3 lal shias in Lebanon

He’s issued fatwas supporting "resistance" against Israel and the US, the destruction of Israel, and influencing Hezbollah to go into war against Israel in the name of resistance and defending the weak and oppressed. Which okay, yes sure, it's a holy movement, I'm all about it.

Bs I've never seen Iran fight Israel one-on-one. Why hasn't Iran gone to war against Israel yet? You could say but the coach doesn’t play. Ma 3m n7ke Barcelona dod Madrid, we are talking about a holy movement and rules. They kept nagging about we can’t be neutral in this war and we must choose to stand with truth against oppression and injustice. Why doesn’t Ali Khamenei send his "holy, strong, and advanced" army to stop the oppression and help the weak?

Or why don’t they send enough help to those stooges to have a better chance at winning. Oh, maybe the master doesn’t want to send and heavily militarize its puppets to a point where they feel too powerful and no longer need the master. Idk the validity of this but I've heard Iran officially said they didn't know about Hamas plan on oct 7.

Iran knows if it actually enters a direct war with Israel, it won’t just be Israel they’re fighting, but the US and its allies. And that would mean wiping Iran off the map. Unlike its proxies, which are dispensable, Iran itself isn’t willing to make that sacrifice. They want war, just not on their land.

Bs shuuu America sends super advanced military aid to Israel and willingly participates in attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon or other Iranian proxies.

But hey Iran sends "aid" to Lebanon like medicine and food. That’s not aid, that’s just exporting their goo...
