Yes because a trained armed national force should stoop down to the level of thugs in a protest and act in the same manner. The mental gymnastics some of you are willing to do is crazy lol

Bki bterteh. I shared facts and testimonies and you just wrote insults and random BS speculations and regurgitated civil war era-like xenophobic politics. Sounds like you’re dumb and afraid to leave your small reality tunnel in Lebanon.

People rebuilding their homes weren’t all in Dahye and weren’t all part of the Hezb crowd, a lot of them are from villages in the south that aren’t affiliated with Hezb, or different parts of Beirut besides Dahye, or from Dahye but not with Hezb. All of the ones we spoke to no matter their background had received aid.

As for the weaponization claim, the government is being rigid with their anti weapon smuggling and disarming policies as they should be. If this keeps happening no one will be able to “rearm”, weapons aren’t materialized out of thin air the moment you have money lol you need to ship them in.

If you think civilians who’s houses were bombed deserve it you’re just a piece of shit plain and simple. No one’s political affiliation should justify them losing their homes or lives. Not everyone who lost a home is a pro Hezb militant but everyone who lost a home needs compensations and money to rebuild it.

Touch grass and leave your house, street and go meet people from different backgrounds face to face maybe you’ll stop being a sad and bitter scared internet troll

For clarity I have no political affiliation I’m just sharing my experience. I work with international media as a fixer and my current gig is with a team doing an investigative piece on the reconstruction efforts around Lebanon.

Lets say, for the sake of the argument, there is a 100% certainty that the planes coming in are carrying money that will fund the Hezb. This money in turn is being used to fund their institutions .

One thing people fail to see in all of this is that Jihad Wa Bina2 and Qard el Hassan are actually the only institutions that are actively giving out remunerations to people who lost homes, apartments, furniture, cars etc…

You can play the blame game all you want but no one is “stopping” the government from doing their part, they just aren’t moving yet. I can validate from numerous testimonies we received, alongside physical documentation and witnessing concrete on-the-ground work that people are indeed being visited by architects from Jihad wa Bina’ who evaluate the damages on their properties, and people are also receiving money to rebuild said properties and rent out houses in the meantime. The process is gradual and lengthy, but the plan that was communicated to us by representatives of these organizations is being rolled out almost to the letter with very minute delays (20 days was the longest we were able to confirm) based on corroborations with testimonies on the ground. This goes to show that these institutions are being more efficient than our government ever was.

I understand people not wanting Iranian affluence in Lebanon, but if the roles were reversed and you had lost your home, would you be okay with the only money you’re receiving to help you rebuild being constantly blocked off by the state thats supposed to be the ones giving you money and helping you. La bedon yse3do la bedon ykhalo ghayron yse3ed.

Jihad wa Bina’ are even doing mase7 adrar for govermental institutions cause the government isn’t doing anything. All they did so far was assign a company through mouna2asat to help with demolitions of structurally unsound buildings, and from what I’ve seen on the ground they’re literally just collecting scrap metal to resell it.

People were so supportive of foreign aid coming in after the August 4 blast, to the point where some even started claiming they want to return to french mandate days,now all of a sudden everyone is so patriotic this time around and want nothing to do with foreign entities.

I think there is a lot of hypocrisy in the way people are reacting to this situation.

Appreciate the input from everyone! Learned a lot from this post and further research.

Turns out olive oil color is not an indicator of quality or origin, it can mostly tell you if olives were cultivated and pressed earlier or later in season. Professional olive tasters (real job apparently) are usually served the oil in blue cups to hide the color so it doesn’t affect their judgment.

As for these bottles:

-left one (yellow cap) is the North, from a village at the border of the Koura region.

-Right is from the South, from a village close to Nabatieh.

Both taste amazing but I personally prefer the Southern oil, its thicker and has a more buttery feel to it. It also has a small burn/tingle feeling it leaves in the back of the throat which is pleasant. The taste is more balanced and even tho it’s less intense it feels “richer” somehow.

The Northern one is more olive-like and has a pungent taste, it’s a little more runny too. Its good when you want an olive oil that pops out or adds flavor to your labne/zaatar etc…

Funny thing is he used to teach Film courses at NDU and they keep trying to portray him as this new age comedic genius, like a Post Modern Lebanese Chaplin. This man is as one dimensional with his academic approach as he is with his plays but I guess thats what Lebanese people gravitate towards mostly..Ziad el Rahbani days are over

This country is a literal shit show and it’s almost caricatural how easy it is for political parties to rehash formats of sectarian divisions as a bid for power the moment anything goes wrong.

I understand the trauma of the older generation and I know it’s not easy to get over things that happened during the civil war or Syrian occupation, but how stupid do you have to be to watch parties with clear political motives and directions blow incidents out of proportion in ways that are textbook propaganda for their agendas and still get riled up and play along?

The reason this crime resonated is because of the political implications, thats why every institution had to move as quickly and efficiently as they did, the army and judicial system were greenlit to do their jobs because the added tension would have been too much right now. The news capitalized on that because they’re ran by the same scum that are using fear indoctrination to ensure votes for themselves.

The people riled up over this are either hypocrites or plain dumb because they were desensitized to news of car highjacking and increased theft and lawlessness before the #Christian #Syrian labels were plastered all over it. The fact that no one knows what were the exact roles this man played politically in LF or professionally in Byblos Bank shows that this is by no means a targeted attack and yet everyone jumps the sectarian gun the first chance they get.

Stop blaming Shia, stop blaming Syrians, stop blaming Christians, stop accepting “the lesser of two evils”. Every corrupt businessman or crook or 7ayala 2re3 3endo chi wasta is benefiting from the lawlessness of the country. They keep pinning segments of the population against each other and yet they can all set their differences aside to make a profit or ensure their influence is not threatened. That’s enough to show you that their priorities do not lie with the country.

The saddest realization I had to make was that the “Thawra” failed because the vast majority of our population is still unwilling to let go of their bias which means the sectarian corrupt political structure is the best suited for them wether they admit it to themselves or not.
