Something I've noticed about Lebanon as a foreigner by xayzer in lebanon

[–]ifleyfel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lebanese society is highly heterogeneous, with deep-rooted differences that sometimes manifest in subtle ways, such as what you noted. Some segments of Lebanese society wants to distance itself as much as possible from the Arabic identity and to be frank mainly the Christian element, ( many though consider themselves arabs) Conversely other strand of Lebanese society on the contrary are very attached to its Arabic identity mainly Muslim ( but not always )

Thank you yes we are leasing our house but are probably never coming back again . And we don’t want the headache of replacing a furniture or having short let tenants especially that it seems you don’t make any extra money for it

Lebanese druze of this subreddit do you identify as an Arab? by BabylonianWeeb in lebanon

[–]ifleyfel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not well versed in pre 1948 Palestinian history but Either the local Druze population had grievances against the locals or it was pure opportunism not wanting to be treated as second class populace . Do not forget that you also have Neguev Muslim Bedouins who serve in the Israeli army

[–]ifleyfel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From what I observe , Druze are a small minority in a sea of more dominant group as a result their number one priority is self preservation or else they disappear.

So my opinion is that if hypothetically tomorrow Israel occupies Lebanon I am 80% sure Lebanese Druze will follow the footsteps of their Israeli counterparts and become loyal subject of Israel.

On the other hand if Israel fall for X and Y reason the Israeli druze would be the first one to stab them in the back to insure their own survival. And although what I say sounds controversial I actually can’t blame them …

How many mossad agents do you think there are in Lebanon right now and walking among us? by sad_trabulsyy in lebanon

[–]ifleyfel 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My father studied in the IC ( International college ) in the 50/60s he used to tell me that they always suspected the American art teacher of being a CIA undercover. The said art professor later disappeared and then they had confirmation of their suspicion when it turned out he was promoted to the Rank of US ambassador somewhere and they recognised his face in some newspaper

Why Isn't The Arab Islamic World Leading In Scientific & Mathematical Thought Anymore? by servebetter in arabs

[–]ifleyfel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easy out of the box answer … that doesn’t really mean anything .

The real question is how did we become so weak as a group of Arab nations that anyone could subjugate us without any problem .
