westernized, multi-ethnic, multi-religious Lebanon

Have you ever spoken to a Christian Lebanese person? Apparently not. Otherwise you would not be making comments like the above. There are pockets of westernization in Lebanon but THEY ARE NOT IN SHIITE CONTROLLED HEZBOLLAH AREAS! Lebanon is not a functional multi ethnic state. It is a state which was controlled for years by Syria and is still in a state of fear with the Hezzies all over the place.

Using AI and HRW reports to justify anti Israeli hate takes the cake though. For these orgs anti Israeli sentiment is justified and attacks on Christians never happen!

No, I know absolutely nothing about Christian Lebanese. I've never in my life met a Christian Lebanese person. Neither has Patrick_K.

Oops. Wait a minute. Oh that's right -- I AM A CHRISTIAN LEBANESE! Doh! Now I remember. Sorry.

Oh yeah, and patrick_k is in Lebanon right now -- in the South no less -- with his family. Hey, Patrick, did you realize that we have never met Christian Lebanese? I've got to remind myself to look in the mirror tomorrow morning -- just so I can discover what that strange rare creature known as a "Lebanese Christian" looks like.

But don't trouble yourself, eleni121, I'm sure it's much easier to stomach what Israel did to those little kids when you can label the entire country just a bunch of sub-human Islamic nutbars.

Funny that you think Lebanon is so "backwards". I didn't get that impression last April when all the conservative male bloggers were drooling over the so called "Cedar Babes" in Beirut. But that was then. They became non-persons once Israel went to war with Syria and Iran in Lebanon.
