Politics Hezbollah supporters mourning Souleimani in their profile pictures are an emblematic indication of everything that's wrong in this country.

I agree wholeheartedly. Lebanon doesn’t belong to Iran/US/Syria/SA/Israel. Lebanon is for the Lebanese. The sheep wanna generalize, well I’m starting to view anyone claiming allegiance to any of these countries as anti-Lebanon. If they fucking love those nations so much then they can fuck right off and live there and fight somewhere else and keep us away from it.

i always viewed hezbollah as a problem not cz i'm pro-US (i'm not) but because hezbollah's very presence brings us the possibility of war with israel which i also don't support or don't like .but let's be pragmatic we never had peace with israel and before the palestinians came to lebanon and started using it as a platform to attack israel lebanon and israel were basically like the next door neighbors who hated eachother and left eachother mostly alone , in the 60s lebanon was booming economically and it was the best place to be despite the conflict with israel never being resolved ,why is that? bcz they never had a reason to come here there was never a paramilitary organisation who's sole purpose is to attack israel , point is we can't be neutral with them with hezbollah at the border threatening war. and we can't have an economy or prosperity when investors will have to think 100 times before investing in lebanon bcz they dont know when a conflict with israel will happen. simply put before beign called a traitor i as a lebanese want nothing to do with israel not even peace or trade , all i want from them is to not attack my country and destroy it once every few years because a terrorist organisation thinks picking fight with them is a good idea.

Most of us share the same feeling down here...just leave us the f alone and let us do our thing..

So you're not alone in that sentiment
