I hate Netanyahu as much as the next person, but I sadly believe this. When the invasion of Lebanon started I contacted a friend of mine who is Lebanese (Christian) but doesn’t live there. I wanted to let him know I was thinking of him and his family “back home”. I don’t recall his exact response but it was something along the lines of “yes, it’s tough now but it’s for the best”.

As with every population, nobody is a monolith. I spoke to a Lebanese Christian colleague of mine and he’s at the other end of the spectrum.
Of course. I was just blown away by his response, and this article reminded me of it so I shared.
They already denied it
