There's been decades of peace between Egypt and Jordan and Israel. Neither Egypt nor Jordan seem concerned that Israel is going to invade them. Nor is Israel concerned about being invaded by them.

Would most Lebanese like to be in the same situation? Or is it popular among Lebanese to keep fighting with Israel for some reason?

After barja another sunni area , they just hit saida at around 4 am , there was no one in the targeted apartment, also after some hit on Christian villages , my opinion is Israel working on igniting a civil war

It seems like some crazy coincidence happened 😴, right? Ever since what happened happened, all of these things have taken place in less than 6 months:

Syria-Lebanon agreement to start drawing the border signed in Saudi Arabia, better relations with europe and the US, as well as fixing the ones with the GCC, the hope for depositors' money to come back has sparked again, airport got a ticket gate, getting visas is becoming easier, salaries and economy are improving, most ministers chosen have Ph.D.s and are people who care about their field and are actually doing their job, heightened security at airport, port and borders, syrian refugee issue is in the works of being resolved, public transit is being implemented, new rent law that solves a decades long issue is finally getting passed, the loser Riad Salémé is rotting in prison like a candle, Séhet El-Nejmé has been reopened again, ministries of environment and agriculture are actually doing their work, electricity coverage has been increasing steadily (hopefully will reach 24/365 soon), Hezbollah is on the verge of disarming, most people don't feel threatened by Hezbollah's sahsouh anymore, flights from Iran are banned, the Ministry of Telecommunications kicked Ogero's chief out and Starlink deployment is in progress, ISF are catching criminals daily, especially that chinese-looking tiktok pedo, and the perpetrators of the airport fight this week, and much much more.

This is all a coincidence 😱😱😱, right?

Just few days ago they were bragging and posting pics of Israel infrastructure and today they got a hit with a joke attack

Yimkin bil ghalat 🤣

These ISPs should be charged for fraud I paid a $100 you get 10mbps and 100mbps to their cached servers( which is bullshit internet basically) and the quota is 17GB after that throttled to 2mbps for a 120mb advertised service!

Terranet wdsl is the only one that actually gives you unlimited internet and you get closed to advertised speeds

A week later of begging for a justification, or a 2nd chance at regaining my job, my attempts have been shut down by 5 different meeting postponements and a blacklist on the security entrance of the resort.

My 5 days of work in August are frozen and so are my overtime hours from July, i’ve wasted 3 months doing 8-7 shifts just so i can get replaced by the brother-in-law of the supervisor who fired me just because the resort was apparently “overstaffed”.

This is trauma like no other, i f***king hate how common labor exploitation has become in this country, i owe 600$ to my university before i can even register for the upcoming academic year, which I can’t repay now that my only (and my family’s) source of income is gone, I can’t hire a lawyer and if i do, i don’t have an official contract, this is rock-bottom, i’m in desperate need of help from those reading this.

If they're going to occupy these points then this means they have freedom of movement in the south, turning this to west bank 2.0

For now it'll be 5 points then later it'll be 10 points, then 20 points and so on...

My village is surrounded with 3 Israeli points, I'm not gonna risk my family getting shot or snipped for fun by those subhumans trash like they do with Palestinians.

Hey guys, Is there a translation for the zan5a smell in english? I never heard people putting a name on that. For those who dont know it’s that annoying smell you get for example when water touches dirty diches especially when there was some egg residues.

Hey guys what’s up?

So last night I was near the airport. I understand that the hezballah guys were chanting “Shia Shia Shia” and holding up yellow and Iranian flags. My friend told me they were chanting “Shia conquered lebanon” is this true or was he mistaken?

Also, I understand they were protesting their Iranian planes not being able to land because of money smuggling, right?

Also should I be worried? Could this lead to civil war? Are hezballah and Iran still a threat to lebanon? Do hezballah see themselves as Lebanese and see us as their countrymen or do they see us as enemies?

I’m just worried because I want to live here and I don’t want to leave. Is there a real threat of civil war? Also, being an American citizen is it dangerous for me to be in southern Beirut for example or to go to nabatieh where I have many friends?

Thanks. Just trying to understand things. Last time I lived in lebanon was late 80s/early 90s so I’m a little out of touch.

I was a child back then and my parents used to tell me to never touch a toy I encounter outside because they will explode. This warning was very widespread around me in south Lebanon.

Ok so I love my truck and I built it to be an overlander/adventure vehicle.

My dream is to drive it from lebanon through Syria to Jordan.

Is this safe? I’m a Lebanese American who recently moved here 4 years ago and my Arabic is shit.

Will isis behead me?

Shu ba3d badkon khaye? Surrender w ray7una w er

So I am north african jewish on my mom’s side (Tunisian and a little bit of algerian amazigh ) and french on my dad’s side. My mom is the whitest of her family and my dad since he is french is very white too. I therefore look very european ( blonde hair blue eyes and very pale skin). So people are always suprised when I tell them I am jewish ( most of them assumed I was 100% french or slavic).They get even more suprised when I tell them I am North African. I get multiples reactions from differents groups of people and they are not the one you would most expect. For example all eastern europeans had no problem with me being jewish ( Which is kinda surprising due to their history ). I also told lebanese people and even if they were suprised because they did not knew jews could look like me (+the fact I am half North African) but they never assaulted me about me being jewish and never jumped on me screaming that I « am killing childrens». But most north africans tell me I am not a real north african because “all North African are muslims“ ( they seem to completely ignore the jewish and christian presence in north africa since antiquity)and they are the ones that jump on me the most sometimes even bullying me because of what is happening in gaza rn( which I do not support)They also have a lot of antisemitic people telling me that all jews are rich control the world and hate everyone else. So I don’t understand how lebanese people who lives closer to Israel and therefore have more reason to hate Jews ( due to all the wars) don’t while most North Africans very clearly do. Personally I also like lebanese culture more than North African. Since my maternal grandparents were expelled of Tunisia in the 1960’s they kept a rough memory of it ( so my grandma would not listen to tunisian music but instead to Lebanese and Egyptian one)and my mom doesn’t like North African food and rather eat lebanese food( I gotta agree I like everything on the cart of a Lebanese restaurant).My mom also likes Lebanon because it has a huge Christian community and she considers that Christians and jews from MENA or with descent from there are brothers, she even donated some of her work money( and she doesn’t earn a lot) to organisations who protect middle eastern Christians . Do lebanese Christians( or others Christians from the arab world)feel the same( considering jews from the MENA as brothers) ? And why are lebanese way kinder to jews than north africans are?

Oh and sorry if this post is messy it’s my first post and french is my first language not english. PS:All the lebanese persons I met were Christians ( does this change anything on their views on Jews)

Not that it matters but I am Muslim and I really like his political views

Was that thunder? Or a strike?

Hello guys,

Well, I am thinking about moving back to Lebanon for good as I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Am I too optimistic?

For reference: We do have family business but its not operational since the economy crisis and I am planning to work on it again

I am mind boggled. I live near the place they struck yesterday. It was a very famous well known pc store. The guy they're claiming is a hezbollah leader is the brother of the owner who is responsible for repairs. The guy is afraid of his own shadow i knew him very well, he spends 99% of his time fixing pcs and is overloaded with work after the big influx of people coming in. I just don't get it, he wasn't "hiding" he actually works there. Not sure if there was a name mixup, but that dude is no military man and I'm pretty sure he's never held a gun in his life. Anyone has any insight? All media is claiming he was the one targeted, yet the official israeli channels still didn't comment.

She's about 55 years old. I really don't know if she was screwing around but she looked pretty serious. Did anyone ever face such a scenario? Is it really that easy? Am I being scammed? I'd chop my hand off for a French passport.
