Not a single word about our sovereignty…

I saw nobody talking and flailing about how we’re under Israel’s mercy and our sovereignty is being utterly molested. The reaction from so called “sovereignists” to 25 ISR SOF disguising themselves as state security to carry out a kidnapping has been more tepid than when I stub my toe at night. You cannot condemn hezb then turn around and justify this action. If that’s what you choose to do, know that you’ll be disregarded by the Israelis as a turncoat too weak to do your own dirty work, just as you will by the Lebanese for depending on foreign powers to settle your scores with internal factions, just like every other brilliant warlord in this country’s history has tried to do.

True sovereignty constitutes condemning an ISR SOF operation as strongly as you would Hezbollah. We are seeing more attempts at justifying this act than we’re seeing outright condemnations. That does not bode well for this country’s future no matter the outcome of this war.

What's the first thing you're going to do after the war is over ?

It might take days, months or years... doesn't matter, but what the first thing you're going to do once the war is over ?

Looking for hobbies ideas

Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for hobby ideas that are introvert-friendly and low-pressure. Something relaxing or interesting but doesn’t feel overwhelming or too social. If you’ve found hobbies that work well for you as an introvert, I’d love to hear them. Thanks in advance!

Getting sect removed from ID

Hey everybody. Just wanted to ask if it’s possible to get your sect and religion completely erased from all your legal documents like ekhraj ed.

Also, what downsides are there to doing this?

help finding leather gloves

Hey I'm looking for a pair of simple brown leather gloves for men. The leather doesn't even have to be genuine. I've been looking for quite some time with no luck. need them to be plain without any holes on the knuckles or anything like that, just affordable solid standard simple brown leather freakin gloves that are fairly priced...

Already combed through Burj Hammoud and even tried to find someone to custom tailor them with no damn luck

These things can't be THAT hard to find

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Small (?) rant

I just graduated out of uni and im not quite sure about how to go on about my life from here. Everything’s on hold because of the war but I know that I have to adapt instead of waiting for it to be over. I have a lot of things/feelings that i struggle to put into words, like there isnt a lexicalised term for them yet. That intricate feeling of "so what? it doesnt matter anyway". A mix of nihilism, depression, existential dread and paralysis. Our lives are meaningless except for the meaning we give it ourselves- except I cant get myself to have a meaning nor purpose- I live in a capitalist society which is contantly manipulating our way or life to fit it's criterion; mind you, which only benefits the select few power thirsty scum of the earth, while the average person cant do anything but succumb to the system and figure out what job they'd least hate to do to stay afloat. (seyroune this is turning into an anti-capitalism rant) I dont want to monetize my hobbies or to be extremely passionate about something in particular, doing something for my own enjoyment is one thing but doing it to stay alive steals any lick of pleasure i get out of it.

OR yemken kel hayda stems from the fact that I live in lebanon and we have no control whatsoever over our lives w mendal nekol baasat yameen shmel :D

anyway meen bado yeje maae 3al jnub bas tekhlas lhareb w naamol a self sustaining community?

Would speaker Berri ever do it ?

Would speaker Berri ever call parliament for a new law barring any militia or force to have arms in Lebanon outside Lebanese army and Inferior security forces and all arms permits are null and void and all Lebanese and Palestinians and Syrians living in Lebanon hand all their small arms as well ??? Would such a move end the war ?? Will ever do that before retirement ? Would this make Lebanon Heaven again on earth ?

I live in the US and am more scared and worried then you seem to be

Aren't you worried that this tit for tat going on with Israel and Iran will bring all of Lebanon into the war and lead to WW3? How can you live where you are and not be worried?

Night thoughts: a nice solution for displaced people

Use Berri's houses. Hariri, aoun, frangieh, jumblatt etc Baabda's palace, aser l houkoume

For fun I stalked recently politician's wives on instagram. Nauseously lavish lifestyles... do it yourself too, but don't leave any hateful comment so they keep their profiles public and keep posting.

Rumors about 1200 casualties in hezb

I'm not sure about it and I'm looking for any Lebanese source, but some Russian telegram groups posted that according to hezb insiders out of 2500 casualties in Leb 1200 of them are hezb fighters.

Did anyone else hear about it/can confirm or deny those rumors?

What an insane thunderstorm in tripoli.

It was enough to make the satellite signal go to %0 and the generator turned off. 100s of lightning bolts, many crashed into the sea and the ski was literally lit up constantly. This was pure Insanity. Any other areas got it ? P.s: satellite signal came back.

Huge confusion within our society

A lot of people I know are like "eh next week l entikhebet l amerkeniye btenhal jm3t l je". However, election day is not about who wins or not, it's a day where people go to elect one of the two. For the winner to be announced and to actually take office ra7it la January, we're in for a heavy few months. Now given that rain and cold is here, shit is only going downwards

Update about Hamra's building

https://www.reddit.com/r/lebanon/comments/1ft0pww/displaced_southerners_illegally_occupied_a/

The building is still fully occupied!

I'll update too some more later on, because we heard so many opposite stories about it. Turns out someone I know knows the parents of the owner very well!

Safety after night flight to Beirut?

I’m flying to Beirut next week and my flight lands at almost 11pm. I was wondering how have passengers been navigating the roads knowing that Israel tends to go crazy on Dahieh at night. Is it generally contained around the airport roads or should I wait it out until the morning? Just feeling confused & anxious..
