Many Maronites speak up about liberating Lebanon from Islamic imperialism.
Some talk of division between Israel and Syria.

But no actual move yet on Christian behalf,

do you think they have what it takes?

that "division between Israel and Syria" sounds interesting. It certainly works
among the Lebanese of my city----which to some extent, for the Maronites,
is a very uneasy "coexistence" with Arabia but a functional alliance with
Judea. We even have a common language----we can all brush up on our
Aramaic. We need a ben Yehuda type to do the modern Aramaic
dictionary-----a BEN KOURY

The Israelis have driven so many Palestinian refugees into Lebanon since 1948 they have completely changed the demographics of Lebanon.

It's horrible. Beirut, Lebanon was the Paris of the Mediterranean. Of course the Zionists wanted to destroy that.

"the zionists WANT to the US to attack Iran" "the zionists WANT to destroy
Beirut. It's so good to have the Doppelganger of the ORACLE OF DELPHI
amongst us----the ORACLE OF USMB--our very own surada. I wonder if our
Oracle can tell us what IRAN wants----and what the associated HEZBOLLAH
wants............ or what the BBF of allah----muhummad wants.

The truth is, it began with 1976 massacre of Christians in Damour by "palestinians"

'Christian role in Lebanon has ended,’ says Hezbollah-affectionate commentator.

Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, August 19, 2024.

Pro-Hezbollah Lebanese commentator stirred up a virtual storm in Lebanon following a sharp attack against his Christian compatriots in Lebanon, where he claimed that the Christians’ role in Lebanon is over and alleged that American battleships are coming to the region to take them away.

In his controversial rant given during an interview with Lebanon On News, Reda Saad addressed his “Christian brethren in Lebanon,” as he named them, warning them to pay attention carefully to his words.

“I fear that the Christians in Lebanon will face a similar destiny to that of the Afghans when they clung to the wheels of the American planes and are thrown from the sky,” he said provocatively. “I fear that you won’t have an airport or a port [to flee]. And perhaps the foreign warships are coming to take you, to the last of you.”

Saad lashed out against the Christian population in his country. “Unfortunately, did you see where you ended up? You can’t even appoint a president!” he said, adding that the Christian Lebanon “became synonymous with the American and Israeli ones” and accusing them of collaborating with the French mandate and favoring French over Arabic.

“So let everyone know that the role of Christians in Lebanon has ended!” he declared. “You have become a minority in this country, and yet you still hold high positions… Nobody would accept this issue. The next generations will not accept it. They will not accept that the president must be Christian; he must be a Sunni Muslim or Shi’i. We represent the majority in this country, and we want our share in this sectarian regime,” Saad stressed, referring to the ‘sectarian method’ secured in Lebanon following the 1989 Ta’if agreement, which ended the civil war, and in which Christian Lebanese were allocated a majority of seats in parliament in addition to the office of president….

Arafat and the PLO plunged Lebanon into "massacres, rape, mutilation, rampages of looting and killings. Out of a population of 3.2 million, some 40,000 or more people had been killed, 100,000 wounded, 5,000 permanently maimed.

Inside Lebanon: A misnster's View
Sumter Daily Item - Jan 29, 1983

... The PLO came to Lebanon 12 years ago, after it was evicted from Jordan by King Hussein, that "Black September" in 1970, Hussein's troops killed 10,000 PLO fighters in the expulsion from Jordan of these terrorists which were an increasing threat to the stability of his government. Eight years ago, in 1974, war broke out in Lebanon, as the PLO attempted to wrest this ancient country from its own people. From 1974 to 1982, over 100,000 people were killed in Lebanon by the PLO, half a million were injured, and one million were left homeless, without any significant world objection. The PLO siege of Lebanon, which has been incorrectly portrayed as a civil war, was in fact a reign of terror, during which anyone who refused to cooperate with the PLO was forcibly evicted from his home, watched his wife and daughters raped and mutilated, was tortured and killed, or perhaps just quietly disappeared. The Lebanese people — both Moslem and Christian — were prisoners within their own country.
In additions to the systematic terrorization of Lebanon, the PLO over the past eight years has repeatedly shelled the northern area of Israel, crossed the Israeli border in attacks on civilian people, and from Beirut directed attacks on Israeli diplomats and offices throughout the world, the most recent being the attempted assassination of Israel's ambassador to England, Shlome Argov. The people of Lebanon were fed up with the situation, and some of the several Lebanese factions, mainly Christian, appealed to Israel for assistance, Israel, equally fed up with the constant endangerment of the population of the Galilee, concurred, and in early July of this year the Israeli Army entered South Lebanon.

... We saw the PLO headquarters in Sidon, built near the town square, but underground, beneath a large and popular amusement park (complete with ferris wheel and roller coaster), "hiding beneath the skirts of women." We saw the Moslem hospital which the PLO used as an armament depot, marking their crates of live ammunition with the symbol of the Palestine Red Crescent (the local version of the Red Cross, and whose chairman is the brother of Yassar Arafat; most of the tragically inflated statistics on civilian casualties in Lebanon were provided by the Palestine Red Crescent issued without confirmation by the International Red Cross, which has since discovered how it was manipulated and has issued a formal retraction of the civilian casualty statistics). We talked with young men and old men in the streets of Sidon, candidly and happily. They told us how glad they are to have the Israeli army come in, how their freedom has been restored after eight years. They called the Israeli army "the army of liberation." Nowhere could we find a dissenting opinion.

We were on a hill at the end of the Beirut airport, looking over West Beirut, where the Israeli army estimates that 9,000 PLO terrorists are holding several more thousand Lebanese civilians as hostages. The Israeli army a few days ago asked those civilians who wished to leave West Beirut to come to the beach to be picked up; on their way to the beach, the PLO killed all those citizens, denouncing them as traitors.

... We drove back south, to the Maronite (Greek Catholic) village of Damour. Once a village of 40.000 Christians, they massacred over 10,000 of the citizens, and drove the rest out of the village. The village was taken over as a PLO barracks.

I support a DIVISION of Lebanon----to accommodate the besieged
Christian population. The christian population of Lebanon is an HISTORIC
TREASURE and should be preserved.

‘Collateral damage’: Exiled Lebanese tells 'Post' refugees back Israel’s fight against Hezbollah.
LEBANON AFFAIRS: Lebanese refugees support Israel’s efforts to defeat Hezbollah, fearing the return of the Iranian proxy if Israel withdraws before the job is done. Their plea: Finish the fight.

By Danielle Greyman-Kennard.
April 18, 2026.

The Lebanese understand the necessity of land operations to rid the country of Hezbollah, but are fearful Israel will withdraw before freeing them of the Iranian proxy, two exiled descendants of Southern Lebanon Army members told The Jerusalem Post.

Maryam Younnes was only five years old when she fled her home in Dibil in southern Lebanon, leaving behind her grandmother and cousins, unable to legally see or speak to them again.

Maryam’s father, Elias, was a commander in the South Lebanon Army (SLA). He defended the country’s sovereignty against the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which used the territory to launch attacks against Israel and brutalize local populations.

“We were in no man’s land. No one helped us. No one looked after us, just like what’s going on right now. There was no army. The PLO were brutal with us as well, fighting with Israel against our will; they were slaughtering us,” she recalled. “They were kidnapping people from the south. They were trying to take over land.”

Elias was among those who called on Israel to help fight against the PLO terrorists and who took up arms alongside Israel. He fought for his country’s stability until 2000, when Israel withdrew, and Hezbollah labeled him a “traitor,” Maryam said. When then-Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah went on national television and promised to slaughter anyone who worked alongside Israel, the family packed up and fled.

Memories of Lebanon’s deadly 15-year civil war, which ended only in 1990, are still in living memory, and the trauma is still informing decisions now. Estimates suggest 150,000 were killed, tens of thousands wounded, and hundreds of thousands displaced. The government, she said, is trying to “work smartly” to weed out Hezbollah’s infiltration without risking the group turning its weapons on the people, igniting a similar battle.

“Iran can tell Hezbollah, ‘Okay, turn your weapon on the Lebanese people. This is your last breath; do whatever it takes to stay alive and to keep your weapon. Fight the Lebanese people,” she theorized, noting only days ago there were reports that Hezbollah was plotting to overthrow the government.

'Abu Yihad's Father And Israeli Tolerance.'
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. ‎Apr 4, 1978.
... Palestine Liberation Organization terrorists murdered 11 athletes in Munich. His routine was undisturbed last month when his son Abu Yihad, reputed to be Yassir Arafat's chief planner or terrorist acts, told the Quatari news agency that the bloodbath on the Haifa-Tel Aviv highway would be followed by other terror operations "deeper inside Palestine. "...
the fate of those living in south Lebanon, under Abu Yihad's rule. Against their will, they are forced to act as human shields for terrorist bases in their midst.
While Abu Yihad plans his campaign from a safe distance, reputedly in Damascus, all too many South Lebanese are caught in the cross-fire of Israeli efforts to wipe out terrorist bases in the area.

..there's convincing evidence that he started his underground career, and made his first power base in revolutionary Arab politics, with the Ikhwan, the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza and Egypt.
He presented to the world an image of being an incorruptible, selfless revolutionary, but he stashed away billions of dollars during his long domination of the Palestinian national movement, and his Fatah was always mired in corruption and incompetence. Arafat presented to the world the face of an Arab region unified in its opposition to Israel, but he killed many Arabs during his long career. In his heyday, every Arab country that gave refuge to him and the PLO was ruined and plunged into civil war as a result. King Hussein of Jordan drove the PLO out of his country in September 1970. Lebanon then took them in. They established a powerful enclave in southern Lebanon known as "Fatahland." But unlike the much more formidable Hezbollah, which eventually succeeded them, they proved militarily useless against Israel except for a handful of raids that slaughtered Israeli civilians, including more than twenty children in at school in Ma'alot in 1974.

Starting in 1975, the PLO plunged Lebanon into fifteen years of civil war and anarchic violence that eventually took 150,000 lives. Many Arab leaders hated Arafat or distrusted him ferociously—notably King Hussein of Jordan, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and most of all, President Hafez Assad of Syria. Arafat was a very poor organizer and administrator but an extremely shrewd political tactician and utterly ruthless gang leader and revolutionary. He was a master of the shakedown.
The Saudis and Gulf Arab leaders paid Arafat protection money, knowing that if they didn't, the PLO's assassins and political subversives would be sicced on them. European leaders during and after the Oslo Peace Process gave even more, but for all their talk, they never raised a finger to make sure the money was being spent properly. (In fact, it was being siphoned off into Swiss bank accounts and used to create the terror arsenal ...)
