What do Lebanese Christians want ? Part I

Posted by N10452

It would be easier to figure out “What women want” than figure out what Lebanese Christians want.

Throughout the past 80 years, Christians in Lebanon have never been united on any occasion and never acted as a community. They were always dispersed on every event and could not find a common political goal.
In the 1920s, Many Christians stood against the declaration of Greater Lebanon, while others were defending it. Later in the mid 50s, a group of Christians stood defending Pr.Chamoun while others stood with the Palestinians and the Pro-Arab Leftists.

In the 70s, a group of the Christian parties was pro-Syrian and another chose to fight Syria and go after the support of Americans and EU and even Israelies to free the country.

From the 1980s till today, we have a very complicated mixture of Christian political groups which caused internal divisions that are harming us till now. Christians do not seem to agree on a unified plan to preserve their community and therefore preserve their influent presence on the Lebanese political scene.

I will name a small list of those groups we have so you have an idea of how divided and dispersed we are before tackling the reasons behind the formation of so many groups:

- LF led by Samir Geagea
- Ex-Lfers who liked Bash and do not like Geagea under a different front
- LFers who are opposed to Geagea policy under a third front
- Kataeb led by Amine Gemayel
- Pierre Gemayel having his own group of Kataeb
- Sami Gemayel leading Loubnanouna
- Nadim Gemayel a pro-LF inside the Kataeb with his own team
- Ahrar led by Dory Chamoun
- Ahrar loyal to Dany Chamoun and who do not like Dory.
- Aounists led by Aoun
- Fpmers who do not like Aoun anymore and working apart.
etc etc etc …

Christians never seem to agree, and have developed a hobby of dividing more and more their community by founding new groups. That was a brief overview before tackling the reasons behind those divisions and what do Christians really want ?

To be Continued ..
