How this sub narrative anti Hezb evolved over the last few months.

Lets start,
Disclaimer, those are conclusions by my own observations, if you think otherwise you can exercise your freedom of speech like me in the comments down

7 Oct 2023 - 17th of September 2024
Hezb is dragging us to war but at the same time Hezb isnt doing shit.

17th Sept - EarlyNov
Israel will eliminate Hezb completely, there is no stopping, justification of civilian massacres, justification of targeting civil defense

Mid Nov - 27th Nov
News of Israel asking for a 1701 reimplement was going around, mental breakdowns started in this sub because Israel cant finish the job, a huge number of posts and comments to make it seem like Israel has achieved a complete victory over Hezb, even though Hezb demonstrated the widest scale bombing of Israel in the day before the deal was announced.

Side comment: The deal with the 60 day withdrawal implementation was a big mistake for Hezb, this didnt mean Hezb was gone but took away the momentum and it wouldn't make sense to reignite the war.

27th Nov - presidential elections
Basically more of the above, and also high hopes for Geagea to be president, lmao, here was the first minor shock, as soon as Aoun won, the ones who were hoping and cheering for Geagea shifted to Auon as if its their man

Presidential elections till PM elections
Making every statement and every video that gets released as if tomorrow the army will attack Hezb, and basically the Shiite duo wont be envolved in any gov, and making it seem that the new president is completely anti Hezb

PM selected till now ministers named
When Salam won, again the sub shifted to applaud him as if the guy us theirs, and over the last few weeks, some of the anti Hezb people here were having breakdowns and cursing and attacking Salam.

After the ministers got named, now this sub wants to make them seem as technocrats, well
Berri is laughing and others are crying. Thats all I can say. Berri got Hezb to put guns down, so Berri wont be comprised and he is being rewarded.

Basically some serious takwee3 and copium, best...

With the majlis wouzara being birthed soon

Everyone will see how all political factions will fuck over their مبادئ to have a piece of the cake. Yes LF included.

They will all agree for concessions over their principles and continue fucking us over, but people will still be blind to it.

Rally 'round the flag effect?

The aim of this post is not to create division. If this post gets heated, I'll delete it immediately.

I'd like to ask you about your shiite friends, colleagues, neighbours, etc. Have you notices any shift in their stance against hezb?

Someone ik was raised in a communist household to a shiite father and a sunni mother. Before the war, she never mentioned hezb, syria or any of that. She had always been in suuport of Palestine though and the oppressed all around the world and was very vocal about it. Religion wasn’t something that she cared for. So being shiite wasn't a big part of her identity. The war seems to have really traumatised her. She once told me how she felt all alone "لوحدنا" and if our own people say so and so about us shu khallo la gherna. I felt sorry for her and understand how she must have felt. Then, she starts attacking people and shows full support to hezb, and starts attacking the Syrian revolution and eljoulani and cuts anyone who shows sympathy and support to them. She called them te33orists and the usual. She never once before mentioned them and once asked me if one of my Syrian friends supports bashar. I felt she was aiming her anger towards them because she couldn't do that towards lebanese ppl maybe? She started telling me how safe el dahye was and bla bla bla as if she's trying to polish their image. Idk much about dahye and I'm not the kind to listen to stereotypes and have never been there myself. I was like why are you telling me this? I feel she's getting a bit radical? Also, she wasn't raised in lebanon, she moved back at 18 and lived there for about 6 years before moving again. She mentioned she went back during the war and that she have lost her home and some distant family members, so I understand her frustration but don't understand the shift in position towards hezb specially having communist background and being part of the public front. They're the complete opposite y3ni. I'm wondering if you have noticed something similar with your acquaintances.

Opinion: This is literally Lebanon's final chance

I would appreciate your opinion on this, here are my thoughts.

If the collapse of the Assad regime, coupled with the military defeat of Hezbollah, does not lead to the establishment of a Lebanese state, then it is reasonable to suggest that this current formula for Lebanon cannot sustain a unified state.

Think about it: if after everything that has happened, the fall of a regime that waged war against Lebanon's sovereignty for decades, the assassination of Nasrallah, and the humiliating military defeat of Hezbollah, we still cannot move forward, then when will we say, "Now is the time to establish a Lebanese state"?

As a Christian who was forced to migrate from Lebanon nearly a decade ago, I am increasingly warming up to the idea of smaller Lebanese territories where each demographic has its own designated area. The concept of "3aysh al-moushtarak" feels increasingly like a false promise. Instead of risking another civil war, wouldn’t it be better to divide the country so that each sect can manage its own territory and develop its own community?

We have tried to build a unified country together, but it seems more and more like an impossibility at this point. I believe many others share this sentiment, and I bet that the majority of Lebanese will feel the same way if Joseph Aoun fails and Hezbollah somehow remains in power once again.

LAF alongside the people of the South

While most of you on this sub want to make it seems as if the people from the Jnoub are against the army and other's lying that they were rejoicing at the martyrdom of the soldier

Here is the Lebanese army confronting a Merkava in defense of the country in Maroun al Ras

22 dead, 100+ injured and you are making fun of them and criticizing them and having the balls to stand up for their land

Bachelor party in Beirut

Hey there! I’m in charge of one of my best friends bachelor party and Beirut came into the conversation. He lived in Dubai for 2 years and met a lot o Lebanese people which he always described has super friendly and happy, similar to our way of being (we’re portuguese). Having that said, it’s one of the destinations we are considering and wanted to ask the community a couple of questions:

1) would you consider a good place to go?
2) how is the political situation? Any risk of things being shut down or safety issues?
3) would we be able to find good eletronic music parties?
4) is alcohol cheap?

The weeding is only july 26 so the trip would be done later this year or june next year.

Thank you in advance for your time and my apologies if this is not the correct sub to ask this!

Hezeb el entisar is relying on the dawle now

http://mtv.com.lb/News/1542160

Seems they accepted that they lost and can’t act militarily anymore. All the threats for the past few weaks were nothing but a show for their sheep.

They are relying on the government to deal with israel, that’s new. Since they are so keen on the agreement hopefully they will disarm soon

US pledges $117 million in aid to Lebanese Army

The United States has announced it would donate more than $117 million in security assistance for Lebanon's armed forces, as the crisis-hit country seeks to implement a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

The State Department said in a statement that it had convened a "virtual donors meeting" on Thursday "with partners and allies to discuss critical security assistance needed for Lebanon to fully implement the cessation of hostilities."

Israel's extremism is no less dangerous than Hezbollah's extremism.

How tf is this the Finance Minister, for example:

And don't even get me started on Ben Gvir, national security minister and the ideological descendant of a US-designated Jewish Terrorist organization (imagine how bad it is if the US are sanctioning Jews).

Hi! I'm Lebanese and I was born in America. How do I learn about the culture and visit Lebanon respectfully?

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on the sub. I've spent the past few weeks just reading and seeing what I can learn.

I was born in America and my father was adopted in a closed adoption. Basically, we didn't know who his biological parents were until 7-8 years ago. We did know he was Lebanese however.

He did an online DNA test and there was a section about people you might be related to. My dad reached out to some of those people just incase someone knew his parents and our family. Turns out they did!

We're related to the largest Lebanese community in the United States. Our family is HUGE!!! We rent out school gym bleachers for our family photos.

Suddenly I started experiencing such a different culture. Different foods, im learning about more about religions in general, etc.

So all that context is to ask where do I start? My ideal goal would be learning the native language, being able to visit, and learn more about Allah.

This discover of my heritage is really important to me, but above all I want to be respectful while being apart of this community. How do I learn a culture I belong to but never knew?

Any tips and advise are appreciated. Thanks!
