Unfortunately we do not have the luxury to wait and we need to be the catalyser and accelerate this. With all the changes happening around us, Jewish coming from all the over the world to settle in Israel, Arabs opening up to Jewish and all the impact that this will have on us as Christian...

I like some of the approaches you have taken and we definitely need to start thinking of a new approach that will let us prosper as Christians in this land for the next century. An approach not based on the Ego of the leader but more of a well thought approach and strucutre where the goal is not...

Some of the problems raised in the posts on this thread, is the way the Christians are organised politically, which is mostly the clan tribal organisation. The Western press does not refer to Christian parties when they talk about the Lebanese christians, they refer to "The Gemayels", "The...

We have to change the mentality of what we undersand by a leader and how we select our leader. We are not anymore in the 19th century where the leader was one with muscle and was called شيخ الشباب like Tanios Shahine. We need to select people who are not hungry for power and for personal...

How to change that mentality? How to get Lebanese Christian on their free existence in this part of the world, and moving them into a cooperation mode for a bigger goal rather then the current tribal and clan mindset. They are like crabs in a corb, they are only good pulling each other down...

Not sure if you follow what happend to the Christians in Syria and Irak in the last 5 years. That may help bring back the discussion to a reality away from the John Lennon "Imagine" ideal

The Jewish state is a potential example but maybe the state itself as I believe the notion of mixing religion and state is not part of our Christian religion (While Jewish have historical Kingdom that they are trying to restore, and their books talks about a Jewish land), but what is something...

Agree that we are all settlers on this planet earth, and I like your vision of building a state where all would be equal. However we have experienced in the region where we live that Islam and the notion of state in the European sens are "orthogonal", i.e. incoherent. Even in Europe where we...

Jewish don't, they are having a free highway and are replacing everything that Lebanese Christians thought they had with Arabs. I expect soon that Israelie would replace Maronites in the Gulf. The Maronite tribes need to prepare for quite some dark winter...

Do not want to comments on names in my reply, but more on the definition of "leadership material" for a Lebanese person. What is Leadership material in your view: someone who bang on the table, screams and jump from a cliff? Or what they called in the قائم مقاميتين: Sheikh el Shabeb? like...

True, but the Christians are not worth of Lebanon, they are a bunch of tribes with no vision and at at most capable to run their clans. Kamal Jumblatt was right when he said: give the Maronite weapons and they will kill each others. Zero long term vision.

Yes and GMA had a chance but failed to seize it as his focus was on how to secure Gebran Bassil to become his successor. He screwed himself and screwed us

Beind the descendant of whoever preceded us on this land of what we call our Christian fathers, it is quite importnant to evaluate where we stand today as Christians and realise what is awaiting us. While it is a fact that we have been always as Christians in compeition for this Land with the...

What does it help if Aoun win but we, the country and us. all lose? Is it an ego problem? For God sake someone need to act as ام الصبي and the الصبي here is not Gebran, but Lebanon and us !!

علمت الـLBCI ان رئيس الجمهورية ميشال عون جمع في مكتبه قبل ظهر اليوم، وزيرة العدل ماري كلود نجم ورئيس لجنة المال والموازنة النيابية النائب ابرهيم كنعان حيث تم تبادل المواقف وتوضيح الملابسات التي حصلت خلال الايام الماضية. وعلم انه خلال اللقاء تم التأكيد على وحدة الموقف وتكامله بين الوزيرة نجم...

وجنت براقش على نفسها This Gebran is a devil in person!! He started this!! he is bringing all the destruction to GMA relatioships and surrounds!! but above all to all our hopes....

Yes, it is frustrating to see that Hariri and Jumblatt are so far running loose internally and externally, but this is Exactly what our focus should be as Christian: to get Jumblat, Hariri, Sanyoura, Berri ousted, prosecuted and bring them down. Our focus, energy and priority is not to defend...

What is important for us Lebanese is to bring all corrupt to justice, and the question at hand is: has Gebran taken a share in the wide lebanese corruption? To answer this question one has to find out if the companies that got awarded or seeked to be awarded the mega deals in various...

خاف الله It is a big sin to try to bring even remotely the image of Jesus to Gebran you are not doing your religion or the Christian any favor by following this approach
