Ethnic Lebanese (Maronites) aren’t even Arabs, they’re Phoenecians.

I’m glad the pro-Western bloc defeated Hezbollah. It’s about time we heard some good news.

But even the pro western bloc has Muslims in it. Unfortunately, Kataeb, is a watered down and weakened version of what was a Strong Phonecian Christian Nationalist movement. Groups like the Guardians of the Cedars are banned and the Christian Militias have been disbanded. It is a shame what has happened to Lebanon especially as someone who is part Lebanese Christian. It is a majority Muslim and Arab state that has little self determination, one bloc controlled by the west and the other by Syria.
