How Were Israelis Born in 1954 Beirut?
Summary
In r/Lebanon, a community member asks how an Israeli couple could have lived in Beirut and had a child there in 1954, despite strained relations between Lebanon and Israel. The question invites historical context on cross-border movement and the political realities of the period.
How was it possible for an Israeli Jew to be born in Lebanon from Israeli parents?
Hi guys, I have an historic/political question.
Here in Italy there's this guy, Gad Lerner, who was born in Beirut from Israeli parents (his father was born in a kibbutz in Haifa, his mother was born in Tel Aviv). Lerner was born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1954.
Lebanon and Israel weren't really friends in 1954 (I don't mean that now u guys are), but I wonder, how was it possible for two israelis to move to Lebanon and have a child there?
Hope you guys can solve my doubt. Have a good day!
