This from the Jerusalem Post. Kinda blows the entire “poor Lebanon” argument out of the water, eh?
What am I worrying about? Maronite Christians caught in the crossfire. Ever since the SLA disbanded, they are almost entirely dependent on the IDF for protection during wartime.
People often attack Christianity for being theocratic, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Lebanon is a classic example. While Maronite Christians ruled in Lebanon, you had a multi-ethnic, multi-party, and multi-religious society. Post-1975 Lebanon has struggled to revive that experience, but as Hezbollah has demonstrated to the world, Muslim terrorist organizations only have an interest in gaining a toehold and twisting democracy until they achieve theocracy.
Is it any small wonder why the United States refused to recognize HAMAS as a partner for peace in the Holy Land? Was Hezbollah a partner for peace in Lebanon?
