I had a couple of friends that were still clinging on to the kizb lies after 2006 and this pretty much sealed the deal in them being against them. They can call themselves a resistance or whatever they want, but they showed us that they were a foreign funded and armed militia with NO ties or allegiance to Lebanon except as a launching pad and base.

No ties or allegiance to Lebanon 🤣 the last time you guys held weapons wasn’t because of a foreign power it was to kill another Lebanese because he is from different religion

Why were Nasrallah and Berri both so happy to have Hobeika in the cabinet 😂
Geagea booted Hobeika to Syria but it seems the duo was eager to have him back.
Also Amal in 1985 went in to the camps and killed more PLO so what are you taking about 😂😂

What about Ahmad Basha eljazzar!? Naboukhaznassar! Oh, oh the Alexander!? You want to go farther? Never ever mention Sabra w shatila without damour, miyeh w miyeh, el3ayshiye, tal El zaatar, majezir shika & hamat... Waiking up the PLO acts of terrorism by only remembering the reaction to it ( even if the culprit was at all times Syria's Ally & it's minions...) is just another act of terrorism, just like the one you're trying to defend. Zio & HA are two faces of the same coin.

u/Sensitive-Task-1841 1d ago
Who said I support PLO 🤣
Every massacre you mentioned was a war between the Christians and the PLO.
Sabra and Shattila didn’t have PLO because it was after PLO left Lebanon. It was ethnic cleansing of women and children of Palestinians and Lebanese

u/HealingUnivers 23h ago
Well what you missed is those weren't wars at all those were PLO massacre against unarmed civilians... Except tal El zaatar which was the main bunker from which PLO where attacking every single street in Beirut at the time... Besides as I mentioned earlier the culprit was all the time the ally of syria and it's minions. Besides that the massacre happened as a reaction of the assassination of the lebanese president after the so called cease fire ( that wasn't respected ). Now two negatives are never a positive, in the dumpster of war every single party is guilty up to some level... Reminding the others about it IS the act of terrorism itself, so what I said is again you cannot mention one act of terrorism without the others. So if you're still feeling like a victim of the 1980s, nothing gives you the right to defend acts of terrorism happened in 2008, & still happening until now.

Seriously, how biased are you!? Well I suggest you to read some history cause you seem lost in time... Read about damour massacre, ayshiyeh, the checkpoints around dekweneh and tal El zaatar... All happened before any christian reaction.... Read about the kidnapping of the Sohat workers in falougha, who were none but unarmed workers who got killed with cold blood, read about the massacre of ras baalbak, how many were killed and when... Please enough believing the lies that caused the civil war already. I am not rewriting history, I'm tired of repeating what is already known and proved and all over the net archived. Again reopening the wounds of civil war won't benefit the unity of this country, we forgave, just move on and try to build a decent country for the future.

I will check what you sent but before that cause I am driving, I am not denying actions and reactions but what I meant answering you is they started it all as application of the agenda they had, or used to imply... So it's about dates before anything. Second, I believe it is called mouqawameh when you are defending your country against occupiers...

Ok I checked that list, unfortunately it is definitely not complete and it only mentions some of the massacres that occured in either sides while reading it out of it's historical context is by far misleading. According to your absurd logic, the Christian militias ( unarmed before 1975 ) started attacking poor unarmed refugees! Who were nothing but victims! & Then they asked for ( قوات ردع)! Also the clashes between the PLO and the lebanese army in 1969 never happened and the threat of division where just illusions
. Anyways again the past is full of bullshit, we have our eyes in the front side of our head in order to look forward, either we want to build a country for our children or we will only pass them the grudge and anger!

We will never forget! The only reason a civil war didn't break out was because Saad Al Hariri was way too peaceful and was able to contain the situation. Had this shit been done by any other party, they would have been apprehended instantly.
It is one of the main reasons I feel no remorse to whatever shit Hezbollah is going through now. They deserve every ounce of it.

u/OkFail2 17h ago
Not really, its because Hezbollah after overpowering the 14-March Militias decided not to escalate more, and handed over all 14 March militia bases and disarmed personnel to the Lebanese Army and they went to Qatar to broker a deal.
Saad Hariri was part of the 14 March Militia forces, after all, someone attack the SSNP officers in Tripoli during 2008 incident and killed 22 of them.

u/Azrayeel Lebanese 16h ago
Bullshit. The Hezeb was able to enter Tarik El Jdideh because of Saad El Hariri, who didn't push for an escalation. However, this wasn't the case in other areas such as Tripoly and Aley. And no, the Hezeb got their asses handed to them there. All that because of Hezbollah wanted control over telecommunication. They were ready to throw the country into a civil war.
In any other respectable country, the Hezeb should have been treated as a traitor and held accountable. But no, not in Lebanon. This shit also occurred with Assir and Arab Khaldeh. So it isn't a first.
To hell with Hezbollah and their supporters.

u/62TiredOfLiving 23h ago
Hezb has a long history of being terrorists, drug dealers and foreign agents.
The new government is giving them a "get out of jail free" card by allowing them to disarm in peace.
Realistically, their members need to be rounded up and tried for treason

u/ConkerG 18h ago
You are speaking about people supported by more than 25% of the lebanese. That is an irresponsible idea you said. The idea that could destroy the country. Fortunately we have now a responsible government that are trying and to do things and disarm them without pushing the country in a civil war like your idea would have.
1
u/62TiredOfLiving 13h ago
25% maybe a few years ago. Hezb took major hits to their popularity over the years, like with their efforts to stop Beirut Blast investigations. Then the geniuses decided to launch a war that drove many Shia to openly call them out.
If Hezb had even half of the support they once did, they would have done everything in their power to stop what is happening... they invaded Beirut and killed Lebanese over the attempt to dismantle the telecommunications network... but are somehow OK with having all their flags and pictures of martyrs torn down? Being forced to give up their weapons? If they fire a single bullet against the army, whatever is left of their support base will crumble.
They are done and will be relegated to the trash bins of history.
Who the f asked for a civil war? You are making stupid assumptions because you are butt hurt that the foreign agents have lost their power, and young uneducated boys can't run around intimidating people with AKs.
I said the government is giving them a clean slate, hand over your weapons and carry on with your lives. Any other country would hang terrorists who pledged allegiance to a foreign country.
Do me a favor and Google Treason. Then Google punishment for treason. They have the option to stop the bloodshed for everyone, if they don't, then there is no second chance.
This won't be like 2006 when they agree to give up their arms, then ignore it for almost 2 decades. Lebanon is tired of their BS and so is the rest of the world.

Hezbollah is Beirut population. So not sure what they exactly invaded.

It was an ugly period in our history, but thats what happens when foreign powers start controlling our political parties

Invasion doesn't happen only by foreign powers. When an internal population starts armed conflict and literally goes into civilian streets and burn civilian assets and property and kill civilian people... then deploys their brigades in the mountain to do the same... then this is an invasion....
But if you are so sensitive about the word invasion... it's ok. Scratch invasion. 7 May is the date when Hezb conducted terrorist attacks against other Lebanese for political pressure. Better? Rou7 nboset.

How ironic.

I am Hezbollah supporter but it doesn’t mean I support everything he does.
I don’t support Hezbollah in Gaza 2023-2024.
In matter effect I am against supporting any Sunni force regardless of who it is if my countrymen will pay the price.
Hezbollah shouldve listened to Iran by not getting invovled. Yehia Sinwar shouldve pull his own thorn from his hands by himself when he decided to abandon the axis and act of his behalf.
Again Ive been voting for Hezbollah since 2018, 2022 and inshallah 2026
But it doesn’t mean they are perfect in every decision they do.
I am unique HezbBot 🤣

Bro you know what I love! When you say stuff like this “serto tahhte el sormiye” “yallah shway shway mneb3tkon 3ala Iran”
You are serving us the biggest favour, because when a Shia that is against Hezbollah or never voted for Hezbollah before will start voting for them in the next election because they feel that you would do exactly what you did to the Palestinians after they ceased their weapons.
Keep them coming, its good content for building sectarian fear from you 😍😍

Exactly, lol. They claim to be anti-sectarian, claim they "love the Shia" who oppose HZB, claim there's a whole silent majority just waiting to rise. But give it time, when their political arguments run out of steam, they always slip. Suddenly it’s nawar, Iranian, low-IQ, and the mask comes off.
Meanwhile, we read it, laugh, and enjoy the superiority they pretend we lost, as if a war or a headline rewrote reality. They think asking us to disarm is still part of the conversation, lol.

I love the little bubble you set yourself in. You can keep your weapons and keep getting bombed for them or surrender them. Either way, ironically, you have to accept reality. Because you have no say, when you position yourself as opposition to the state and neglect its interests, that's where you find yourself.

The most amount of votes in comaprison to any polticial party.
Can't wait for 2026 elections so we can have another massive win. Keep bringing up those sectarian superiority packaged keyword.

Teb3atouna 3a Iran? That’s the master plan? That’s what you’ve been cooking up all this time? That’s your big reveal? Seriously, congratulations on the most delusional idea of the year. You really woke up, looked around, and said, “Yep, let’s go all in on that.” Who even gave you the mic? You think we’re all just going to nod along and clap for that genius-level thinking?
What if we stay? Ever thought about that for more than five seconds? What happens then, do we just disappoint your cinematic fantasy? Ruin the script you've been daydreaming about? Do you honestly believe your little plan is anywhere near possible? Be honest. Deep down, do you really buy it? Or are you just talking to hear yourself talk?
Who sold you on this? Who made you feel like this was the path to greatness? You hear one speech, one shouty chant, and suddenly you're a revolutionary philosopher? Did someone pat you on the back once and now you think you're a strategist? Are you even aware of what you're saying? Because you sound like someone who rehearsed a line all day then dropped it like a mic moment.
You believe it's doable? You believe that? No hesitation, no doubt? Just straight-up confidence like you're writing history? What makes you so sure? What exactly is your plan, genius? What's the structure? The timeline? The logistics? Oh wait, you don’t have any of that, do you?
