The discussions ,if I can call them as such, on this forum seem to be more like finger pointing. So before you blame me of being a phalangist, read on for no matter how much intelligent you may claim to be, hoping to achieve unity by making deragatory comments against the Maronites, only shows your state of desperation and subjectivity. To set the record straight, I am a Greek Othodox who would like to ask the Maronite antagonists, primarily Dr. Hass and arabian, a few questions in hopes of objective responses.
1 - What proof does ANYONE have that the Maronites convinced France to include the mainly Moslem Bekaa valley to lebanon and exclude the predominantly Maronite areas of Western Syria ?
2 - Did you forget that the predominantly Maronite Phalange party fought the French for the Independence of Lebanon ? Where was the SSNP, ideology and action, back then ? Where is the SSNP today ? It seems that only Hizballah is acting against Israel while the SSNP is fighting Israel by stirring distrust and hate in East Beirut.
3 - Why is it difficult for EVERY Lebanese to be patriotic and nationalistic regardless of the religion of the president ? Is it a necessary condition for Moslems to have a Moslem president in order for them to be Lebanese ? and if the war had started simply because the president is Maronite, will we have another war in 10-15 years ? Here I have to admire the Palestinians for I have not met a Christian Palestinian opposed to Arafat or a Moslem Palestinian opposed to Habash, at least not yet.
4 - Perhaps you should explain to me WHO and WHY those who cooperated with Israel did so ? If you choose to be objective, you should mention Israel's support to the Druze PSP in 1981; the Golan Druze, who unlike Hizballah seem to be enjoying the Israeli presence; King Hussein who was saved by the Israelis from the Syrian invasion in 1968; The UAE, Dubai, and the rest of your ARAB BLOOD BROTHERS who hold normal relationships with Israel; need I say more ....
Yet Dr. Hass and arabian chose to blame the Maronites for their own misery by repeating that same rhetoric how the Maronites cooperated with France and Israel and by so doing, created the war. GREAT INSIGHT, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!.
At least the Maronites do not subscribe to your ARABIC HERITAGE much like the SSNP rejects the ARABIC identity.
