What is really happening in Lebanon and why: A modern daring analysis by Hassan Saghir We hear a lot of problems occurring in Lebanon as the Ersal crisis involving Sunni Moslem Jihadists in a clash with the Lebanese army, clashes in Tripoli in between the army and some other Sunni Moslem peoples with behind them some Jihadists and influential rich and well positioned peoples from the Lebanese jet set society i.e. velvet society and some other times in Beirut and Lebanon’s streets we hear about confrontations between original Lebanese citizens and foreigners from Syria, Palestine… Still some many other times, we hear about clashes between Lebanese army and the Palestinians in the refugee Palestinian camps, without forgetting the huge Shia Moslem military ghetto considered the same as the forbidden city of China not allowed to any Lebanese army or other official presence or penetration into it. This ghetto exists in many places in south Lebanon and mostly, in the south suburbs of Beirut which is the head quarter of Hezbollah, the Iran supported militia party and army. So we ask the question if such is the situation, then what is the because behind it and for which reason? The answer is as simple as this: It is and immigration problem coupled to unwillingness in social integration in 75% of the cases facing this little country Lebanon, best known before 1975 as the Switzerland of the Middle East. Such a Lebanese situation is also occurring but in a strength of 25-50% in Europe and America as compared to Lebanon. Before 1920, Lebanon was known as small Lebanon and with the advent of the results of WWI end in 1918 whereby, the Ottoman empire came out as the main looser, most of the Middle East was rearranged in its geography from being united under Turks to being partitioned with the Sykes and Picot treaty, hence Lebanon was increased in size in its north, east and south sides with about 30-40% of its initial size to become Great Lebanon covering 10 450 Km sq. Therefore, this annexed area to Lebanon and comprising about 60% of it as Shia Moslems, 30% as Sunni Moslems and 10% as Christians were considered by the original Lebanese peoples of Mount Lebanon mostly Christian Maronite’s, Druze and Sunni Moslems of Beirut and Saida as foreigners or new comers. Up till now i.e. about 95 years following their arrivals in 1920, these were the main causing agents to up rises and civil wars, whether the 1975-90 war or the actual volatile situation and with it the Syrian refugee crisis an overburden over Lebanon’s socio-economic system. Each time during the end of the years 1960 or at the beginning of the years 1970’s the Shia Moslems of Lebanon were always behind most Lebanese instabilities and problems, whether being the most numerous communists peoples in Lebanon during the past USSR influence then latter on the most numerous Syrian Ba’athists, without forgetting their big numbers in most of the Palestinian organizations from all trades following the Cairo agreement in 1969 to end with being the main constituents of the Amal and Hezbollah militias both being supported by Syria and Iran. The above comment was concerned with these new 60% fraction of new Lebanese comers to Lebanon in 1920 and next I will comment about the balance which is the 30% fraction as Sunni Moslems mostly in north Lebanon i.e. Tripoli, Akkar and Ersal which is rather in the Shia Bekka valley. Following the events of September 11, 2001 over the United States of America and with the various petroleum crisis and mainly that of 1973, the wealth of the Arabian Peninsula increased tremendously, enabling them to be active over the world economic and political scenes. In addition, the creation of Israel in 1948 through subduing the Palestinian state, was also a causal agent balancing the economy and politics of Lebanon since this country is habituating half a million refugee with many of them belonging to organisations acting chaotically according to their financial supporter and thus destabilising this country. In conclusion, it is not just the existence of Israel in the Middle East as its main problem since Israel has no frontiers neither with Libya, Tunisia or Iraq, but rather there is a crisis inside the Arab and Moslems whether Shiaa or Sunnis, and these two sects in Lebanon specially those who are new comers in 1920 towards the original peoples of Mount Lebanon, mainly Maronite’s and Druze and some Sunnis of Beirut and Saida. Therefore, I proofed above that we have in Lebanon mostly a problem of past immigration in 1920 in addition to a new immigration one since 2011, with the advent of the crisis in Syria. Last, I tell you as deep rooted Beirut Lebanese and Canadian citizen that when I stand face to face with a Druze Lebanese man, I feel that he stands on a good Lebanese soil. When I stand facing a Maronite Lebanese man, I have the feeling that he is a loyal Lebanese person standing on good soil. Unfortunately, when I stand facing a Sunni Lebanese man among those new comers in 1920, I feel that he is a but crook agent obeying to orders from influential Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Algeria, Afghanistan, Etc…When I see him appearing with peoples of his sort, then as if the soil where they stand is no more in Lebanon but rather in Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya or Syria, Etc…! All this, for the sake of money desires and life needs in these poor economies resulting from Western constraints as punishments for the 911 events, without forgetting the obligation to order fulfillments of his jet set societies. When I stand facing a Shia Moslem man among those new comers in 1920, I fell that he is but a crook agent from Iran responding to just money and acting through the idiocy orders from Imams Ali, Hassan and Hussein wrongly transmitted from Iran Ayatollahs. When I see him appearing with peoples of his sort, then as if the soil where they stand is no more in Lebanon but rather in Iran, Iraq, Yemen or Syria! All this, for the sake of money desires and life needs in these poor economies resulting from Western constraints as punishments for the 911 events in addition to blindness and brain washings incurred following the 1979 Iranian Moslem revolution, without forgetting the obligation to order fulfillments of his own jet set societies. When I stand facing a man from the balance of Lebanese religion sects i.e. Roman Orthodox or Catholic and the rest of them, then I feel that he works for his own benefits, and most of the times acting as a jerking swinger in between the above cited Lebanese religion sects. Last, sorry to be somehow racist through my analysis but this is much of the real situation the way it appears to me in Lebanon of today!
