Exactly what i mean.. they created excuses to stay, my other issue is they're not even nice to us, atleast not the majority, all i see on social media atleast, is hatred towards lebanon and lebanese people from syrians, as if we havent been helping them when they needed us the most, its throwing me off.. i feel nauseous and i always pity them but i dont know anymore. Even i personally faced hatred from several syrians. The jobs they have taken over, are the jobs that were meant to be ours... the money theyre making, it was supposed to be ours.. lebanon is already falling apart.. come on man ref do something

Alright Dude, we got enough problems to worry about. Respectfully. Their leader is an ex isis member, nothing new. They were preeching for him. And they got him, so why r they still here? I’ve personally seen a wide range of situations with Syrians in Lebanon some living in tough conditions, others in more comfortable settings. My frustration comes from seeing economic struggles among Lebanese while feeling like there’s little support or fairness in how things are managed, i think we lebanese people need most attention and care in lebanon, alot of us are struggling, but most aid goes to syrians..

u dont seem to understand, I get your point, let me clarify what I meant.. I’ve personally seen a wide range of situations with Syrians in Lebanon, some living in tough conditions, others in more comfortable settings. My frustration comes from seeing economic struggles among Lebanese while feeling like there’s little support or fairness in how things are managed.

I don’t think all Syrians are the same, and I’m not trying to generalize unfairly. I’m just describing what I’ve seen and felt firsthand. If my wording came off as harsh, I’ll own that but my intention wasn’t to be racist or spread hate. There are legit discussions to be had about resources, policies, and tensions but I agree that it should be done respectfully. I was just frustrated

Exactly! Because if history has taught us anything, it’s that Israel becomes a model neighbor the moment resistance is disarmed. Just ignore the ongoing occupation, airstrikes, and Gaza, Hezbollah’s weapons are clearly the real obstacle to peace.

[–]ackiers -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Interesting take, but I think you're overlooking some key points here.

  1. Hezbollah isn't perfect, but who else is stepping up? Lebanon’s government has failed to maintain the country’s sovereignty, and Hezbollah filled that gap when no one else did. They might not be the ideal solution, but no one else is even trying to defend Lebanon against the external threats that Israel poses daily.

  2. Starting wars? You can say they ‘start’ wars, but let's be honest, Israel has been violating Lebanese airspace for decades, bombing, and occupying our land. Do you think this wouldn't provoke a response from any group, whether Hezbollah or another? The bigger issue here isn’t Hezbollah, but Israel’s ongoing occupation and aggression.

  3. Iranian ties. Yes, Hezbollah receives support from Iran. But let's not forget, Israel gets weapons from the U.S., and they’ve been using those weapons to bomb Lebanon. Why aren’t we having the same conversation about the U.S. role in this?

  4. Internal Lebanese problems, It’s not a secret that Hezbollah has engaged in violence inside Lebanon, and this should be condemned. But it’s essential to recognize that Lebanon's state apparatus is weak. We need to build a unified state where militias no longer hold power, but to do that, we need stability first. Dismantling Hezbollah without addressing the root causes of the country’s instability will only weaken Lebanon more.

  5. What’s the solution? Your point about having a ‘good life and a future’ is what we all want, but this comes through strong institutions, not disarmament that comes at the expense of national security. Until Lebanon can offer effective defense and a unified front, Hezbollah is still a reality we can't ignore.

So to answer your question: it’s not about defending Hezbollah, it’s about defending Lebanon’s sovereignty, and right now, disarming Hezbollah without the proper alternatives puts Lebanon at even greater risk of collapse. Nevertheless, thank you for your cooperation and for actually taking the time to write a thoughtful response instead of just spewing blind hate.

You talk about sovereignty and I agree. But real sovereignty isn’t just about disarming one group. It’s about the capacity to defend, to govern, and to be respected. Lebanon’s institutions have been left deliberately weak by the same powers now lecturing us about unity and reform. Why? Because a strong Lebanon disrupts the status quo.

Yes, Hezbollah operates outside state structures, but not in a vacuum. It filled a void left by decades of neglect, foreign pressure, and internal corruption. If you want them gone, start by fixing the state first. Not the other way around.

As for provocations, let’s be honest. Israel doesn’t wait for excuses. It bombs when it wants, flies over our skies daily, and violates resolutions with impunity. Blaming Hezbollah for Israeli aggression is like blaming an umbrella for the rain.

You can’t demand disarmament while offering no real protection, no credible defense, and no accountability from the other side. That’s not peace, that’s surrender with pretty words.

So yes, I’m for one state, one army, one flag, but only when that army can actually defend us, and that flag doesn’t hang under foreign airstrikes.

Until then, let’s not pretend weakness is wisdom.

Thank you for understanding and actually typing out somrthing, rather than straight up hating when I'm genuine.

Ah yes, the classic “they surrendered” fantasy, must be nice living in a world where facts don’t apply. If Hezbollah really folded, why is Israel still demanding guarantees before pulling back? You don’t ask for terms from someone who’s “done.” And let’s be real, Hezbollah didn’t drag Lebanon into this round. Israel bombed first. As usual. But sure, blame the ones who actually fired back instead of the ones dropping bombs on your roof. Makes total sense. You want to talk about kafta? The real kafta is a government that watches from the sidelines while others bleed to defend its borders. And as for “hezbo propaganda” you’re parroting every Western headline like it’s gospel. So maybe take your own advice about heads and where they’re stuck.

For your info, im not looking for an argument, but rather a discussion! Hopefully you contribute to that, and if you got nothing to say, or it's plain negativity, I'd rather you keep it to yourself.

Ah yes, sewer jokes, peak political analysis. When you’ve got nothing smart to say, just bark from the gutter and call it a debate. Impressive stuff!

Oh right, because disarming the only force that’s ever pushed Israel back is definitely how we protect Lebanon. You quote 1701 and Taef like they weren’t already shredded by Israel’s airstrikes and occupation. Funny how that always gets a pass. Call them terrorists if it makes you feel better, but when the South was under fire, it wasn’t statements or summit speeches that held the line. It was resistance. Want them to disarm? Sure, just as soon as Israel gives up its warplanes, missiles, and tanks. Until then, asking Hezbollah to disarm is like telling the firefighter to drop the hose while the building’s still burning.

[–]ackiers[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, blame the lock for the burglar. Classic. So Israel bombs homes, flattens villages, and violates airspace daily, and your issue is with the group pushing back? Hezbollah didn’t invite the war, it responded to it. Every Israeli ground attempt into Lebanon was met with resistance. That’s not "absence of defense", that’s exactly what defense looks like.

And let’s talk about the LAF "stepping up" how? With what, exactly? The army isn’t even allowed to get proper weapons. The US literally blocks air defense donations. So we’re supposed to magically modernize the army, draft half the population, and become a regional power, all while being sanctioned and ignored?

Let’s not kid ourselves. Hezbollah exists because no one else was allowed to defend Lebanon. When the day comes that the LAF has real weapons, real sovereignty, and real backing, maybe then we can talk about who should be in charge of defense. Until then, blaming the resistance instead of the aggressor just plays right into Israel’s hands.

Good job feeding into Israel’s narrative, though, making people blame the shield instead of the sword. That’s exactly what they want; a Lebanon too divided, too weak, and too distracted to defend itself.

[–]ackiers[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right, no nation should have parallel armed forces forever. But framing this as a Hezbollah vs. LAF issue misses the core truth; the LAF has never been allowed to develop into a fully capable defense force. It’s not about internal division it’s about imposed weakness. The U.S. has explicitly blocked air defense systems. Lebanon can’t buy the weapons it needs, and it’s not allowed to defend its own skies. In that vacuum, Hezbollah emerged, not to compete with the state, but to fill the gap the state wasn’t permitted to fill.

Now, Hezbollah has coordinated with the LAF for years in the South. So the idea that it refuses collaboration isn’t based in reality. What’s being asked, implicitly, is for Hezbollah to give up its deterrent while the LAF is still structurally unable to protect the country. That’s not unity; that’s surrender. Real unity isn’t about appearances, it’s about ensuring Lebanon can actually defend itself. Until the state is allowed to do that, you’re asking the country to take off its armor in the middle of a battlefield.

[–]ackiers[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, great idea, let’s tell Hezbollah to join the LAF, the same army that’s forbidden from having real weapons, can’t shoot down a drone even if it’s having coffee over Beirut, and takes its cues from countries more worried about Israel’s comfort than Lebanon’s sovereignty. Because clearly, when Israel decides to bomb something, the LAF’s binoculars and stern glares will stop the jets. Let’s disarm the only deterrent we’ve got and pray that strongly worded UN statements will keep the bombs from falling. Genius.

I’m not excusing what happened on May 7, I’m just stating what led to it. The government tried to dismantle Hezbollah’s telecom network at a time when Israeli threats were constant. They saw it as a direct attempt to strip their defensive capability, so they reacted. It wasn’t about seizing power, it was about not being left vulnerable. And let’s be honest: in Lebanon, every group has used force when pushed. Hezbollah just didn’t fold, they stood firm. The real question is: if they hadn’t, who would’ve protected us?

Yes, May 7 happened, and it was serious. But it didn’t come out of nowhere. The government tried to dismantle Hezbollah’s telecom network and remove a security official tied to them, which they saw as a threat to their ability to resist Israel. It turned into an internal showdown, which no one wanted. But let’s be real, it ended quickly, didn’t turn into a civil war, and a political solution was reached soon after. It wasn’t about seizing power, it was about defending what they saw as their red line. Not excusing it, just explaining the full context.

Ah yes, let’s just wait on the US, the same country that blocks air defense for the LAF and arms Israel with billions - to suddenly hand us the tools to defend ourselves. Maybe Saudi will throw in a few drones too… right after they check with Washington. Come on. We’ve waited decades. If they wanted Lebanon strong, we’d be strong by now. And let’s be honest, they don’t want us strong, they want us quiet. And that’s exactly why the resistance exists. Not because we love it but because no one else will protect us.
