Chaos in Lebanon between Hezbollah "refugees" and Christian families.
Hezbollah terrorists are trying to steal Christian properties, causing mass fighting. They think they're above the law.

Sounds like blacks.
I remember the Christian Druze were a very formidable force during the Lebanon Civil War.
Wait a sec. You mean to tell me that muzzies are stealing from people and claiming a divine right to do it?
I hope the Druze are killing those savages right in their front yards.

What a shocker...
Christian Druze???
“”They think they’re above the law.””
Yet one more thing the democRATS and DemoKKKrats have in common with the islamofascistnazis.
Sounds like plenty-o-fun in Lebanon [Originally set to be the Christian enclave after WW II].
In 1980, about 60% of Lebanon was Christian.
That number is in the 30%-45% range now.
It would also be misleading to believe there is political or economic solidarity among the many different Christian populations.
The office of President of Lebanon used to be reserved for a Christian.
Apparently, that office has been unfilled for many years because of several assassinations.
What is a Christian Druze?
Thanks for the info.
That's what happens when criminals are given free reign.
My understanding is that you DO. NOT. want to mess with the Druze.
The Christians have been in the minority since the 1960s at the latest, but there’s not been a census since 1932, so it’s gone by estimates. The muzzie population has been divided into multiple factions, such that the Shia come in several major drifts, including the foreign occupation by Iran’s proxies, the very ones making this trouble.
It’s ironic, because they’ve been in alliance with the largest Christian faction for a long while, knowing that they share common enemies among the Lebanese muzzies, as well as the Syrians who started to take refuge in Lebanon as far back as the 1950s, and even the “Palestinians” [sic] who are divided among Sunni, Shia, and Christianity.
The Druze are an offshoot of Shia Islam, but have their own thing — for instance, they believe in reincarnation, such that when a Druze dies, that Druze will be born as another Druze.
Islamists began destroying Lebanon since 1970s (PLO and others)
Damour massacre anybody?
Or Roma..
My Christian estimate for 1980 was based on Reagan's decision to send Marines to Beirut.
I think I recall that Lebanon being a majority Christian country was a center piece of the Reagan policy.
Anyway, I know there is now a scattered diaspora of at least one million Lebanese Christian exiles.
Christians had long been the largest minority, I think all of us have met, gone to school with, or worked with ethnic Lebanese Christians, including plenty born in the US (I’m basing this one how I’m in that boat, and I grew up in The Boonies and spent my entire working life in GR MI).
The Lebanese constitution required a power sharing arrangement which worked well, but a succession of imperialist Syrian regimes have worked steadily to destabilize Lebanese gov’t, beginning in the 1950s (Eisenhower sent US troops in to right the ship).
When the US allowed the Syrians to surround the palace and kill the Christian leader, their national identity was doomed. The correct approach wasn’t to send in the USMC, the correct approach was to behead the Syrian regime. In the long run that would have saved a lot of bloodshed.
Obviously Carter/Mondale ****ed the whole Middle East (or at least changed the positions) when they failed to support the Shah. The French giving the Ayatollah sanctuary was just the French left doing what the French left always does. Killing him while he was in France would have saved a lot of BS all over the world.
Ironically, his hostage helping to take down the already useless Carter regime led to President Ronald Reagan. Tomayto, tomahto.
