44,000 sign petition for France to take control of Lebanon

[-blitzkrieg-]

The significantly large Christian population was there way before Muslims appeared so maybe someone else should emigrate...

dinosaurs were there way before..
so it should be declared a jurassic park.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

A considerable part of the Christian population regard themselves as Europeans living among Arab 'natives'. Francophile, they basically want to think of themselves as french.

Is it an accident that Macron has turned up at this time at this time and offered a new 'political partnership'? The American/Israelis would love a French owned Lebanon.

If France enters Lebanon, they will sell out the country to Israel immediately. Lebanese will suffer occupation, become refugees, and face organized massacres. A horrible fate.

May Allah swt protect Lebanese brothers and sisters from such a fate.

Also Phoenicians spoke a Semitic (= Afro-Asiatic) language so claiming to be Phoenician rather than Arab is not really an ideal way of trying to pass oneself off as more European.

Historical revisionism is strange like that. When nationalist ideas spread throughout Europe, and nations were created out of origin stories of questionable veracity, the biggest victims were Germany, Austro-Hungary. Yugoslavia, and the Ottoman Empire (Enemy states of Western Europe.)

The Europeans fed Levantine Arabs these myths that they are not Arabs but Phoenicians. Levantine Arabs adopted them and built a false history on them. The Assads brainwashed an entire two to three generations of Syrians with these lies.

Secular Lebanese thinkers, mostly Christians, created new origin stories for Lebanese people, who historically are not much different than Syrians.

You even had Nazi-like parties founded like SSNP, which is right wing fascist party which strives to eliminate religion entirely and create a new Syrian nation (outside Islamic and Arab identity.) Currently they are in coalition with Assad.

dinosaurs were there way before..
so it should be declared a jurassic park.

Lebanon was separated from Bilad Ash Sham (Greater Holy Land) by the French who wanted to create a Christian enclave, but over time Lebanon became Shia majority. To stop influx of Muslim Palestinians, Christian Maronite militias allied with Israel to massacre both Palestinians and Lebanese Shias.

This in turn led to the creation of Hezbollah to protect the Shia population of Lebanon from both Christian extremists and Israelis.

If Lebanon is to be given to anyone, it should be merged back with Syria.

I see all this stuff in light of Israeli dreams of conquering Lebanon.

44,000 sign petition for France to take control of Lebanon

06.08.2020

Over 44,000 people have signed an online petition to "place Lebanon under a French mandate for the next 10 years" as of Thursday afternoon.

The petition on the community petition website Avaaz was reportedly set up by Lebanese citizens on Wednesday following the explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday, killing over 140 people and injuring more than 5,000.

"Lebanon’s officials have clearly shown a total inability to secure and manage the country," the petition reads. "With a failing system, corruption, terrorism and militia the country has just reached its last breath."

"We believe Lebanon should go back under the French mandate in order to establish a clean and durable governance."

'Lebanese are desperate'

Dima Tarhini, from DW's Arabic department, said the petition had been circulating widely on Lebanese social media.

"That's how desperate some Lebanese are," she said. "So much has been lost from where there was already so little. They lost their homes, they lost their properties, they cannot save their children. They don't know what to do."

France controlled the Middle Eastern country from 1920 to 1945 under a mandate set up after World War I.

Macron visits Beirut

The petition was directed at French President Emmanuel Macron, who on Thursday became the first foreign leader to arrive in Beirut since the tragedy struck.

Macron warned that Lebanon will "continue to sink" without reforms as he arrived in Beirut. He promised that France will help mobilize aid for the city, which has seen billions of dollars worth of damage and destruction.

Macron told angry crowds in downtown Beirut that he would seek a new deal with political authorities.

"I guarantee you this — aid will not go to corrupt hands," Macron told protesters.

"I will talk to all political forces to ask them for a new pact. I am here today to propose a new political pact to them," he said.

Crowds protesting on Beirut’s street called for Macron to help oust the country’s leadership. Shock has quickly turned to anger in the city, with many commentators and protesters saying that corruption and incompetence among the political classes were responsible for the deadly explosion.

Prosecutors in France have opened an investigation into the explosion. At least 21 French citizens were injured and one killed in the blast.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, Lebanon was rocked by protests with people angry with the government and economy. A recent devaluation of the currency saw many Lebanese people lose thousands of dollars in savings.

Very sad message, when the elite failed to lead the country the masses is like chicken with no head.

Very sad message, when the elite failed to lead the country the masses is like chicken with no head.

Israel, Europe, and Americans do not want to see a strong Lebanese state. They never wanted that.

Anytime Lebanon got ahead, the Israelis invaded them, threw missiles at them, assassinated their leaders, or unleashed terrorist bomb blasts on them.

Lebanese economy depends a great deal on tourism, and now that it has dried up from COVID, Israel is using the window to gear up for another invasion.

Inspite of now weakened Hezbollah, Lebanon is the weakest neighboring state to Israel. After Lebanon, definitely Jordan will be next, and then Syria, and finally Egypt.

 

[simplex]

And what is the fault of the Lebanese government that an US/Israel attack against a warehouse where ammunition was stored triggered minutes later a big detonation of some 2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate stored nearby?!!

 

[masterchief_mirza]

They are forgetting French revolution.

You're right. These miserable petition signers aren't even worthy of being French, nor are they worthy of being Lebanese really. Not sure what they are worthy of other than periodically declaring their right to sit all day at kerbside cafes and drink latte.

 

[masterchief_mirza]

im sure most of these Lebanese are overseas ones..i have personally found some of them cracks..they think they as Levantian people are the best product of God..and call themselves European and white..

This is EXACTLY the category of people who produce such opinions.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Lol. Wow, whites came out of them. Yet they themselves turned into peasants and ruled by them. Should’ve told him great progression.

Lol.......I was confused as he was a shade darker than me............

Not all Lebanese are light skinned. Some of them would fit very nicely in to a Saturday Market in Punjab.

 

[Saho]

First time to see any country volunteering to be colonized...

They’re Maronites (Lebanese Christians).

They allign themselves more with the West than Arab for obvious reasons, like the Assyrians and Chaldeans etc.

Ever noticed why their segregated communities are kept in distance from the Suuni and Shia Lebanese communities?

So, it’s not suprising why they’re calling this.

 

[Baybars Han]

Fucking boot licking slaves.

Excellent analysis!..........that is exactly what would happen to them but the Lebanese fail to see this as they think that White Western Europeans see the Lebanese as their own wheras they actually seem them as any other Brown/Olive skinned Muslim people. In fact they probably see the Lebanese the same way as they see indians.

Isn't Maronite a type of Marmalade?

[Mohsin A]

That's right....why not make it easier for the Zionists to make their vision of Greater Israel a reality? Honestly some of these Arabs are thicker then donkey shit!
