When Lebanon was majority Christian, it was a lovely place.
Now it’s majority moslem and it’s not so nice.

The Lebanese need to take their country back from the Iranian proxies.

I guess that’s why leftists identify with Islamist regimes - so much in common, they both ruin any country they take over.

Lebanon, once a Christian example of tolerance, culture and civilization.
Then Danny Thomas left and they brought in a few more Muslims.
Since October 23, 1983, as far as I’m concerned, Hezbollah can blow Lebanon off the face of the Earth with their love of fertilizer.

Chaos reigns supreme. At least these poor folks have something legitimate to fight back against.

When outraged citizens start taking over Hezbollah buildings, I will pay attention.
To: dynachrome
Good! They were protesting mainly against Hezbollah (as well as against Aoun).
