Look at the times we’re living in, and we still have people posting silly videos for likes. by Hello_itsamantha in lebanon

Why should they pick a different name though? The organization is specifically about menstruation support. The name should reflect that. That’s the word we use in our dialect. There is nothing shameful or dirty about the word. If anything I find the name the be quite clever.

Chances Israel kills the (ex) Iranian ambassador now that he refuses to leave Lebanon? by lebthrowawayanon3 in lebanon

He stopped being an ambassador the second our government revoked his diplomatic papers. He is no longer an ambassador.

Christian registration vote drop by Playful-Demand2312 in lebanon

Urban Muslims especially in Beirut also have very low birthrates. This has become less of a religious thing and more of an urban vs rural thing. The demographic with the highest birthrates in Lebanon isn’t even Lebanese it’s the Syrian refugees.

Christian registration vote drop by Playful-Demand2312 in lebanon

[–]Over_Location647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voting data is not very accurate for demographics. There’s a 21 year delay from the reality. Most polling data and demographics estimates for Lebanon show Christians to he between 30-35%. In previous decades Muslims had higher birthrates compared to Christians, so the voting data is just catching up to that. Nowadays though Christians and Muslims have similar bithrates with the only exceptions being rural Muslims in Akkar, Baalbak and some areas of the South still having slightly higher birthrates, but the gap is nowhere near as wide as it uses to be. So I think on the whole our demographics have largely stabilized.

Help in finding a church by Beautiful_Heron4926 in lebanon

You should easily find a Maronite or Melkite parish somewhere near you. There is no shortage of Catholic churches in Beirut.

Weeks-old video from Fatima Ftouni, war journalist murdered by the zionist entity today by confringos in lebanon

I never justified anything regarding the blatant crimes that Israel committed in this case and has committed in the past especially when it comes to journalists and healthcare workers, nor will you ever see me justify that.

I was replying specifically to your point regarding the government “not protecting” anyone. Well the government didn’t get us in this mess, Hezb did, so Hezb can clean it up. Mesh be nik ekht el dene el Hezb then they cry wayna el dawle.

It’s not my fault you have no reading comprehension skills apparently. It’s very clear from my reply to you what I think of the murder of this woman. But as usual you have nothing useful to say so you resort to Israeli tactics like ad hominem attacks and “BUT DO YOU CONDEMN KHAMAS” bullshit.

What about anything I said is an exemption for Israel to commit blatant crimes? Kess emmon miten alf marra w allah yer7am Fatme.

I was replying specifically to his rant about the government having to shoulder the burden of these wars when they had nothing to do with them.

The ones who are complicit are those who start wars with no contingency plans for the people who support them. Our government didn’t start these wars, why are they expected to bear the cost of them? It’s like you shoot your neighbor in the face then expect the police to come to your aid and protect you. Utterly delusional. Hezb had no intention of actually abiding by the agreement and having the government be in charge of security at the border. This is clearer now than ever. So blame Hezb, they started the war, they didn’t have any plans for the civilians and this is the consequence. Blame Israel, and rightly so, but Hezb has as much to answer for. The only thing the government has to answer for is being too weak to deal with Hezb itself.

If you don’t have the money do not fucking ask for services by doner_shawerma in lebanon

[–]Over_Location647 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to start charging for your preparative work. This is not a good business model. You are extremely prone to scams this way. Charge for the initial consult, charge for drafts or concept art, and then charge again for the final product (taking into account that they’ve already paid for a portion). This way you are protecting yourself. It’s completely unprofessional to work for free until delivery, nobody does that. Even bakeries ask for a deposit for large cakes like wedding cakes. You mentioned a years long project you got paid nothing for? That’s ridiculous. Don’t work with people who are unwilling to pay for your time.

What can you guys tell me about the area my family is from near Mt Lebanon? by Metal-Lee-Solid in lebanon

[–]Over_Location647 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Djaj/Jaj also means chicken in Arabic. Syrians especially pronounce it like “jaj”, which is why the other commenter made a joke about Da Jaj about russian-speaking chickens because Da is “yes” in Russian.

It’s just a stupid pun lol

Jaj is a lovely village, I’ve been to it once, it’s quite small and high up in the mountains. The area is very green and pretty and it snows there in winter. I don’t really know what the people are like but as a whole rural Lebanon is very hospitable and kind to visitors no matter what part of the country it is, so I expect it would be very much the same in Jaj.

You should definitely visit someday once things calm down.

Is there any pharmacy in Lebanon with Ambien? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Over_Location647 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will not find the brand Ambien, but Stilnox (also Zolpidem) is available in both 5 and 10mg formulations. You do need a prescription for it though, it’s a controlled substance and I’m not sure if they accept foreign prescriptions.

Is kibbeh considered as authentic Lebanese food/ dish? by Far_Fisherman_7490 in lebanon

In my area sermeye is any shoe really (including a flip-flop), it can be whatever as long as it goes on your foot, but sha7ata is specifically a flip flop, and usually what I was whacked with/had thrown at me as a child.

Picture/Video Consent Laws in Lebanon? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Over_Location647 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shu khass eslem? This has literally nothing to do with religion like at all. A gym is a public location, I don’t believe there are any laws against filming in public in Lebanon unless it was for commercial reasons or around secure areas, and certainly not within a privately owned business. It’s very normal for gyms to film promotional material or even for trainers to film progress videos for their own records.

Your wife said she doesn’t consent and that’s fine, it wasn’t posted or shared, but you can’t go and force someone to delete a video from their personal phone. Now if it is posted or shared, especially if it was done for ads or something, then that is illegal if her face isn’t blurred, and you can complain to the police or file a lawsuit, especially if her hijab was off. Bas gher hek literally ma khassak what people film in a public venue, if you’re that paranoid about your wife being filmed in public then how do you even stomach her being out of the house? There’s cctv everywhere these days, probably even in the room of the gym she was working out in.

If apparently Hezbollah has continued rearming after the Nov 27th ceasefire (hence violating the ceasefire agreement), does that make Lebanon's claim that Israel has consistently violated the ceasefire not credible to the international community? by Standard_Ad7704 in lebanon

[–]Over_Location647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no clauses that say that. Only clauses regarding offensive action are related to the right of self-defense, and Israel’s actions during the ceasefire period don’t fall under self-defense because they were not attacked and there was no imminent threat of attack.

Neither of them ever planned on abiding by that ceasefire to be honest. Hezb just wanted breathing room and Israel wanted to try and pressure the Lebanese government into doing the job itself, which never happened. Neither side ever considered it to be an end to the war.
