French president Emmanuel Macron has been accused of trying to reconquer Lebanon rather than help it in the wake of the devastating explosion at its capital which killed 150 people.

It comes as the country is expected to refuse humanitarian aid from Israel because the two neighbours are technically still at war.

Visiting explosion-ravaged Beirut this week, France's leader comforted distraught crowds, promised to rebuild the city and claimed that the blast pierced France's own heart.

If I lived in Lebanon I would welcome back the French.

Lebanon and France have a relationship that goes back to at least the crusades.

“Paris is the Beirut of Europe”. .....
Nicely said, and it’s early but still calling this as post of the day.

Where people in New York City dancing in the streets and passing out candies to celebrate when the warehouse exploded in Beirut? (Asking for a friend.)

If the same thing had happened in Tel Aviv, people in Beirut would have been dancing in the street and passing out candy.

I LIVED IN LEBANON FOR A WHILE AND IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE UNTIL THE LIBERALS GOT IN CONTROL.....I LEFT.....

We always think Israel as to the explosion, but even Lebanon cleared them (which actually a rare, good, development there). But thinking a bit more, the idea of sending thousands of tons of explosives to the middle of a large city, all at once, was smart on the part of the terrorists, PRECISELY because Israel would not take them out, due to the collateral damage that we see here.

I saw a youtube video an hour ago of a huge demonstration in Beirut of people begging Macron to come back an take Lebanon back under its wing.

He's vying for the part of AntiChrist.... Not saying it's him, but his actions have a canny resemblance.
