Reply To: What were your primary takeaways after reading “Lebanon: Past Challenges, Present Calamities, Future Prospects”? Is there hope for preserving a pluralistic Lebanon in the future?

Hey Janey! Adding on to what you mentioned, Lebanon is one of the poorest countries in the world. The Lebanese people need a government that will put their interests first, as opposed to fulfilling the genocidal commands of a non-Arab nation. The Lebanese pound is worthless, and they desperately need creative federalism, as well as the removal of Hezbollah to hopefully achieve a pluralistic society. It’s also disheartening to hear that Lebanon is worse now than it was during the war. More countries need to pay attention to Lebanon like they were during that war (for example Cold War intervention).
