How do we say “Hi, kifak? Ça va?” in Hebrew?? 🙄

@GermanosPeter @mariaavaks 100%

الحروب الاسرائيلية - اللبنانية كانت دوماً بسبب أطماع لبنان بأراضٕ إسرائيلية: أورشليم سوف نعود، القدس لنا، نلتقي في الجليل، شبعا أراضٕ لبنانية، أوهن من بيت العنكبوت، عودوا الى بولونيا... هذه حقائق لا أحد يريد الإستماع اليها.

@MarioNawfal You didn’t yet understand what’s Hezbollah about ! You are showing real amateurism.

As one of the most vocal critics of Hezbollah, I have now changed my stance HEZBOLLAH SHOULD ONLY DISARM WHEN ISRAEL EITHER PULLS OUT OR GUARANTEES TO PULL OUT OF SOUTH LEBANON I changed my position after seeing Netanyahu blow up homes, schools and hospitals at scale, GAZA 2.0! A disgusting war crime. I await the day he faces justice for what he did in Gaza and Lebanon Don't get me wrong, this does not mean Hezbollah should not disarm. Hezbollah is as responsible as Israel for the destruction of Lebanon, and as soon as Israel is out (or guarantees it will withdraw), Hezbollah should immediately disband or merge with the Lebanese Army Hezbollah prioritized Iran over Lebanon, and Israel took advantage of that to invade. Both have Lebanese blood on their hands!

@MarioNawfal You are a fake Christian lebanese , you hate your community .

This is Netanyahu justifying his invasion of Lebanon and saying the campaign against Iran is "not over" and that they "still have to do more" Notice how he intentionally colors all these big countries in red to scare Israelis?

@NabilaNAwad Thank you for your integrity Nabila !

اليوم الدولة كلا متواطئة! رئيس الجمهورية شاطر بالخطابات انشالله بس يتقاعد يصير يكتب كُتب، رئيس الحكومة ضعيف وما عندو قدرة عالتنفيذ وعم يتفرج ع مدينتو عم تدمر، نبيه بري تحوّل لمسؤول وحدات الإغاثة، الأحزاب المسيحية جبانة كل هما تحفظ المواقع المسيحية وما تحط اصبعا عالجرح، الفعاليات السنية مشرذمة وما في قيادة صحيحة، ومخابرات الجيش اقتصر عملن ع تسهيل حركة حزب الله (صديقن الدائم)…. والناس متروكة لقدرا! الله يحمينا من دولة فاشلة ومن عدو يستلذ بهذا الفشل!

@hahussain He is simply idiot , nothing else , don’t blame him

Spain wants an end to the Iran War. It does not matter what countries of the region want. And Sanchez thinks he's the anti-imperialism guy.

@BecharaGerges The real betrayers of the lebanese christians are the christian present leaders , History won't forgive .

حين يخذلك من كان عليه أن يحميك حزب الله قّسّم البلد، قطع أوصال الجنوب. عزل القرى عن الدولة. هذا حصل، لكن الأخطر مما حصل… هو ما لم يحصل. لم يتكلّم البطريرك. لم يتحرّك رئيس الجمهورية. لم يُرفع صوت واحد باسم من لا يريد الحرب. كان المطلوب بسيطاً وجريئاً: فرقة من الجيش، مَرِنة، تُنسّق مع الواقع على الأرض، حتى مع إسرائيل إن لزم الأمر، لحماية وجود مسيحي عمره آلاف السنين. كان المطلوب كلمة سلام. ولو سلام من طرف واحد. سلام يقول: نحن لا نريد أن نموت في حرب ليست حربنا. لكنهم اختاروا الصمت. والصمت في لحظة كهذه ليس حكمة…الصمت في لحظة كهذه خيانة. القيادة الحقيقية لا تظهر في المواسم والأعياد والخطابات. القيادة الحقيقية تظهر حين يتكلّم الجميع بالحرب… ويقف القائد ويقول: سلام من لا يحمي رعيّته وقت الخطر، لا يستحقّ أن يُسمّى راعياً. ومن لا يُعلن موقفاً وقت الأزمة، لا يستحقّ أن يُسمّى رئيساً. شعب بلا قيادة… يتيم وإن كان له ألف لقب يتصدّر الشاشات.

@MarioNawfal This is dishonest and biased ! Everybody knows that Hezbollah is an ideological indoctrinated organization part of IRGC whose final project is the creation of an islamic borderless republic across the Middle East and more .

My worst nightmare for Lebanon is coming true, and I am beginning to seriously question my assumption that Israel does not want to annex Lebanese territory The Defense Minister's statement today that Israel will occupy a part of Southern Lebanon after the war is inexcusable How can they expect to get rid of Hezbollah, which was founded because of Israel's occupation of Lebanon, if their goal is to occupy Lebanon again?!

@Youmna_Gemayel Incompétente , ignorante , arriviste et surtout Dhimmi !

أيّ انتهاكٍ لل 10,452 كم².... وأيّ مساسٍ بالشعب أو بالأرض، أكان من الجانب الإسرائيلي أو من الجانب السوري لا سمح الله، أو من أيّ جهةٍ كانت… سنواجهه حتمًا 🇱🇧 #١٠٤٥٢ #لبنان_أولاً

@larakay111 @NewSamawal He is Maronite

@NewSamawal He's not Maronite 😭 Dunno if they can in a way

The Lebanese government should delegate its powers to Joe Raggi and empower him to rule by decree for a year.

@hahussain @MayaKhadra Raggi is not part of the corrupt, enemy-brokered Lebanese political class that has governed Lebanon for 36 years; he is unique , He naturally represents the majority of true Lebanese, especially Christians who have been voiceless for decades.

Lebanon's Minister of Foreign Affairs Raggi, member of the Lebanese Forces Party (Christian), is the best. Notice how his language differs substantially from President Aoun (also Christian) and PM Salam (Sunni). Raggi does not use the word "Israel aggression on Lebanon." Instead he says he talked to capitals about steps to disarm Hezbollah and "to stopp Israeli escalation" (doesn't translate well, but it means Israeli de-escalation).

@LynnTraboulsi Une seule et unique solution et il n’y aura jamais d’autre : La Partition et la déclaration de notre état indépendant .

المسيحيون في لبنان لم يواجهوا خصومهم الداخليين فقط، بل وُضعوا تاريخيًا في مرمى منظومة إقليمية كاملة، تباينت أدواتها بين العلن والسرّ، لكنها التقت دائمًا على هدف واحد وهو كسر التوازن اللبناني وإخضاع المكوّن المسيحي سياسيًا وعسكريًا. ومن هذه الزاوية تحديدًا، يتبدّى اليوم حجم الخطأ الاستراتيجي الذي ارتكبه الرئيس القائد المنتخب بشير الجميّل حين تراجع عن تثبيت اتفاق سلام واضح مع إسرائيل، خيارٌ كان كفيلًا بتغيير المعادلة الإقليمية وحماية لبنان من الانزلاق مجددًا إلى قبضة الوصاية السورية التي أُعيد فرضها بعد اغتياله. واليوم، تتكرر المسرحية نفسها بأقنعة جديدة، النظام الذي مثّله الأسد بالأمس يعود بأشكال مختلفة في الحاضر، فيما تُعاد محاولات تطويق المسيحيين وعزلهم وإعادة تشكيل التوازنات على حسابهم. وفي الوقت نفسه، يُشهرون سلاح “إلغاء الطائفية السياسية” و“تطبيق الطائف”، لكن التطبيق المطلوب انتقائي ومقصود: تنفيذٌ صارم لكل ما يُضعف الحضور الدستوري والسياسي للمسيحيين، مقابل تعطيلٍ منهجي لكل ما يمسّ موازين القوى الأخرى. ليست المشكلة في الطائف، بل في استخدامه كأداة إعادة هندسة سياسية موجّهة ضد مكوّن بعينه. صوم مبارك أيها الزعماء المسيحيين وانصارهم الذميين. صوم مبارك.

What's the best Lebanese Red Wine? 🍇🍷

@FaresSouaid Are you really convinced you can change and falsify history as you please? That's truly pathetic , Excuse me, but that demonstrates a mental disorder.

بينما سقطت فكرة كردستان ل40 مليون إنسان يطالب البعض بمارونستان و درزيستان وشيعيستان…في لبنان لكل إنسان رأيه، و من حقنا نحن المتمسكين بصيغة العيش المشترك و ليس بالمساكنة بين الطوائف، التنبّه إلى الزمن الذي نعيشه لبنان وطن نهائي لجميع ابنائه عربيّ الهويّة و الانتماء" الدستور

@hahussain 💯

If Spain is naturalizing half a million refugees, Lebanon has 160,000 Palestinians that can be a great addition to the Spanish resettlement program. If you are with the Spanish government and reading this post, I'll be happy to connect you with Lebanese officials for details.

@hahussain This is the natural consequence of a centralized political system composed of antipodes.

#Lebanon foreign minister is a work of art. One day he says that Israel strikes Hezbollah targets because the militia has yet to disarm. The other day he files a complaint with Security Council against Israeli policing of Hezbollah. This sums up Lebanon’s confused policy.

🇺🇸🇱🇧 EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP SUPPORT FOR LEBANON IS A “ONCE IN 75-YEAR” OPPORTUNITY TO AVOID WAR AND PROSPER Lebanon’s political echo chamber is abuzz after Trump publicly offered what he called an “open invitation to the White House” for Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. On the surface, it sounded like a diplomatic olive branch. But officials tell a different story: this is no open invitation - it’s a roadmap. And it mirrors the one Syria just walked. The offer is far from conditional; it depends on Lebanon agreeing to a 6-point plan that the U.S and its partners see as essential for ensuring stability in the region. According to a senior U.S official, the message is blunt: “If Lebanon wants to make a deal with Israel, we’re ready to help fast-track it. But Hezbollah has to go. That’s not a threat - it’s the precondition.” The offer of a White House meeting between Trump and Aoun isn't new, it's been dangled for several months, however, with Israel's increasing threats of returning to war, time is rapidly running out. If Lebanon continues to hesitate and Israel escalates its strikes on Hezbollah, Aoun knows that Trump won't urge Netanyahu to back off anymore. In internal briefings, this initiative is labeled White House Meeting as Strategic Incentive - a calibrated signal that U.S. engagement will hinge entirely on Lebanon’s willingness to embrace a new regional architecture. That architecture rests on three pillars: modernization, normalization, and the dismantling of proxy militarism. In other words, the Abraham Accords - applied to Lebanon. Jared Kushner, returning as the deal’s architect, has reportedly secured near-unanimous support across the Gulf States and Turkey for this vision. The groundwork is ready. The only question is whether Lebanon will step forward - or fall further behind. The frustrations are visible. One U.S. source put it this way: “The Lebanese are fixated on semantics. Call it the redo of the 1949 Armistice, or the 2024 ceasefire, whatever. We don’t care. Just show real intent. A gradual trajectory toward normalization is enough to bring Lebanon into Trump’s peace framework. But dithering will only harden your status as a crisis file.” There’s precedent. Syria - long treated as the pariah - has already moved into alignment. “Syria complied with all our asks,” a U.S. official noted. “That’s why we moved quickly to re-engage. Lebanon, by contrast, still clings to failed mechanisms and illusions of indirect diplomacy.” The Trump administration has now laid out six clear action points to pivot Lebanon toward stability: 1. Bury the Cessation of Hostilities fantasy The November 2024 agreement failed from day one. It relied on passive monitoring, not political transformation. Acknowledge its collapse and demand a complete rewrite. 2. Initiate direct normalization talks with Israel The region is shifting - Saudi backchannels, UAE-Israel stability, Syria-Jordan coordination. Lebanon risks becoming the orphan of this realignment. Indirect “technical” talks are over. Only political-to-political channels will matter going forward. 3. Learn from Naqoura - don’t repeat it The maritime deal gave Israel clarity and leverage. Lebanon walked away with “potential revenues” and no enforceable rights. Another round of indirect, asymmetric negotiation will end the same way. 4. Offer Hezbollah a strategic off-ramp As Iran’s economic patronage is collapsing, let the Gulf take its place - offering Hezbollah a path to political evolution, not humiliation. Saudi, Qatar, and the UAE are ready to fund reconstruction - if Hezbollah agrees to regional realignment. 5. Tie economic rescue to governance reform A modern GAP law (Governance, Accountability, Procurement) to cut corruption. IMF re-engagement. Central Bank overhaul. FATF compliance. These are not Western demands - they are prerequisites for Gulf investment and international legitimacy. 6. Accept the unavoidable truth: there is no third way Lebanon cannot remain a militia state, a financial black hole, and a geopolitical pawn. Direct negotiations, economic substitution for Iran’s role, and sovereign governance through institutions - not proxies - are the only path out. What’s on offer is not a favor. It’s a lifeline. Reject it, and Lebanon drifts deeper into collapse, territorial erosion, and economic irrelevance. Embrace it, and the country has a chance - not a guarantee, but a real chance - at sovereignty, stability, and survival.
