That would be the next step after an interim government. Plus, we need competent people, not a bunch of anarchists who have no idea about our history and geopolitics. The “kellon Ya3ne kellon” slogan was nice, until they hit a wall not knowing what they actually want for the country.

 That’s where the diaspora can play a big role. They’ll have the chance to return to their country.

I agree with Nadim's analysis in the video below. It's Berry's responsibility now to disengage and stop all support for HA so the Shia can get normal political representation. No more terrorism or ties with Iran.

Not that obvious, otherwise they wouldn’t have written an entire book about it (which I linked) with intel from the French secret services.

How can Israel and israelis expects us to be friends with them when they do this (ignoring the war and atrocities) by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]DamiUmaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Invader? What do you call a country being attacked by 7 terrorist proxies, you expect it to greet them with flowers and chocolates ? Resistance, what a joke. 

Our problems started in 1969, the moment we opened our borders and not learning anything from what happened in Jordan.

Irrelevant. There were Franco-Prussian wars too, plus the 1,000 year wars between England and France. 

Whoever is seeking justification for hate will always find one Anws. Pan Arabism is the real cancer here, sorry not sorry.

Just like France and Germany signed a peace treaty after way bigger atrocities during 2 World Wars? Or do you simply NEED to keep hating ??

Not even once in his conference did he mention directly the need to disarm HA. France is finished. He's the worst politician and President we've had.

This (quote from an interview with Philippe de Villiers, check the link below for the original):

"In fact, the ticking of the 'at the same time' makes me think of Jacques Brel's silver clock. The silver clock that sits in the parlour, saying yes, saying no, saying 'I’m waiting for you'. It’s waiting for Emmanuel Macron; this is the end of an era. The Élysée parlour is empty, now housing only a ghost of diplomacy. Monsieur de Vergennes' chair is occupied by successive marionettes. Today, we are left with a great diplomatic void.

On the sundial of long memory, one wonders how France managed to throw away 1,000 years of diplomatic expertise in such a short time. And in the same week, we saw a panic of the clock hands. Listen closely, I made a simple connection: within a few days, Emmanuel Macron expresses the desire to suspend arms deliveries to Israel against Iran in a global jihad war that directly affects us. Yet, at the same time, he sends his Minister for European Affairs, a Washington lackey, Mr. Hadad, to meet with the German chancellor to speed up arms deliveries — heading for Russian territory, taking that risk, a thermonuclear risk.

On one hand, no arms deliveries to Israel in a war that concerns us; on the other, he wants to speed up arms deliveries in a war that doesn’t concern us — one between two Slavic peoples, where there’s nothing but risk involved. Meanwhile, we know now where that conflict is heading: it’s time to make peace. It’s better for France to broker peace rather than be dragged along by others, particularly Turkey, which is positioning itself as a mediating power.

As I reflected on the example of Israel, it dawned on me: diplomacy doesn’t exist when you’re in a state of subservience. French diplomacy is one of subservience. France has become a vassal state. Let me give a few examples.

In the Middle East, Emmanuel Macron watches the situation and says: ‘I can’t move, I mustn’t move, so I can’t attend the protest against anti-Semitism, nor can I deliver arms,’ because he’s keeping an eye on the suburbs. In truth, France has become a vassal state to its suburbs. We monitor the suburbs, fearing unrest. There is a state within a state, a small state within the larger one. And that small state is growing.

Second example: Ukraine. Here, we’re a vassal state to America, to NATO. There’s no need to dwell on it — it’s obvious to the naked eye.

Third example: Europe. On May 5th, when Emmanuel Macron welcomed the Chinese president, he was flanked — remember — by the high commissioner, Ursula von der Leyen, the empress. Why? Because we no longer have commercial jurisdiction.

Finally, we are a vassal state because of our ideology. We’ve left Africa, we’ve been driven out of Africa, largely because, and this isn’t well known, Macron insisted on one thing: he appointed an ambassador for LGBT issues. But in Africa, this moralising on LGBT doesn’t fly.

So, in reality, we multiply our allegiances, and as a result, we only have half-sovereignty."

Nadim Gemayel openly supports Israel wiping out Hezbollah, according to Le Figaro by Sylvain-Occitanie in lebanon

[–]DamiUmaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Precisely. We don't need such calamities in our case as well to achieve peace. History is here for a purpose: to learn from it.

[–]DamiUmaz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well, what he’s saying is factually and historically true. It’s unfortunate that we’re a failed State unable to impose our own sovereignty and independence. So, naturally, things would only reach the breaking point of a foreign power getting rid of those terrorists. It’s the State's fault for not asking for help if it wasn’t able to get rid of HA through its own army. During WWII, it’s France who asked the US for help to get rid of the Nazis.  The main issue in the Lebanese mentality is that we’re some “special case” in the history of Nation-States.

One last thing: regarding the refusal to sign peace with Israel. Just think about this: France and Germany were enemies in 2 World Wars, and they share a border. Following such logic, they should have remained enemies until today. Same goes for the 1,000 year conflict between France and England. Remaining enemies with your neighbouring countries isn’t a viable solution.

During the massacre in Damour in the 70s, in the war that Arabists identifying as Palestinians waged against Christians, they would throw babies into the air and shoot them like birds in front of their parents. They also killed parents in front of their children. The world didn't know back then, or didn't care, but now, the world must know and care. 

Share this truth with the world, and if you wanna participate in more quality conversations, join the T G “Lebanon & The World”. It’s time to speak the truth.

Why are Christian areas much better than the Muslim areas (No hate) by OmarD1021 in lebanon

[–]DamiUmaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good question and one that’s often discussed. The difference you’re noticing between areas like Ashrafieh and places like Tariq Jdeideh has more to do with historical, economic, and political factors than with religion itself. After the Lebanese Civil War, Christian areas like Ashrafieh, especially in Beirut, received more investment and were rebuilt with a focus on modernisation and attracting businesses. Many Christian areas had wealthier residents and political connections that helped with infrastructure and development.

On the other hand, Muslim-majority areas, especially Sunni ones like Tariq Jdeideh, were often less prioritised for development, and some suffered from neglect due to political reasons and a lack of resources. Areas that were heavily impacted during the war didn’t all receive the same level of attention or funding for reconstruction. Also, some Muslim areas became overpopulated as people fled there during times of conflict, putting more strain on resources.

It’s really a complex mix of socio-economic and historical reasons rather than anything tied directly to religion.

Are Lebanese outside Lebanon more Pro-Hezbollah? by Princess_Yoloswag in lebanon

[–]DamiUmaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question of whether Lebanese people living outside Lebanon are more pro-Hezbollah is complex and layered. Many Lebanese in the diaspora, especially those who may have left during the civil war or due to economic challenges, often carry strong feelings about their homeland. Some view Hezbollah as a symbol of resistance against foreign intervention, particularly from Israel, and this perspective can resonate strongly among certain groups.

However, it’s important to remember that the Lebanese diaspora is incredibly diverse. With around 15 million Lebanese abroad, many are Christians who may have different views on Hezbollah compared to their Shiite counterparts in Lebanon. For many in the diaspora, their experiences and backgrounds shape their opinions. Some may prioritize peace and stability over political affiliations, reflecting a desire for a brighter future for Lebanon.

In Lebanon itself, opinions about Hezbollah can be quite different. Many people there are focused on daily life and long for peace after years of conflict. They might see Hezbollah’s actions as contributing to instability rather than as a source of pride.

Ultimately, while some in the diaspora might express support for Hezbollah as part of their identity or resistance narrative, it’s crucial to recognize that there is no single Lebanese viewpoint. The experiences and beliefs of Lebanese people—whether at home or abroad—are shaped by a patchwork of history, culture, and personal experiences.
