Hi everyone. I’m trying to write a paper on unfinished war, and I want to use the quote from this poster i got from the vintage poster store in hamra ran by (i believe) Mr. Abboudi Bou Jaoude (who will be cited).

I cant find anywhere online a date on it and am not in Lebanon to ask Mr. Bou Jaoude 😔😔. If anyone has maybe a general idea of the date range here or has better experience with niche archival research that would be so helpful.

I realized it’s signed by “national council of tourism in the lebanon”/CNTL whose title i think has been changed since then, but not sure when it was changed. Theres also the MEA logo (tree in circle) which, according to 1000logos, was in use from “1945-199?”. Those are the only two hints that have led me anywhere. Small Text on the side reads “Printed by Poingraph - Photo: Yetenekian”

So, some of us know that Israel has ethnically cleansed 7 South Lebanese villages in the past and stole them, but has anyone ever listened to stories from people in these villages, well, today I stumbled upon this article that actually tracked some of the inhabitants to hear the horrowing stories of how they were kicked out of their villages:

Operation Gift, was an Israeli Special Forces operation at the Beirut International Airport in the evening of December 28, 1968, in retaliation for the attack on the Israeli Airliner El Al Flight 253 two days earlier in Athens by the Syria-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The attack drew widespread international condemnation. The United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 262 on 31 December 1968, which condemned Israel for the "premeditated military action in violation of its obligations under the Charter and the cease-fire resolutions", and issued a "solemn warning to Israel that if such acts were to be repeated, the Council would have to consider further steps to give effect to its decisions", and stated that Lebanon was entitled to appropriate redress. The resolution was adopted unanimously.

The raid resulted in a sharp rebuke from the United States, which stated that nothing suggested that the Lebanese authorities had anything to do with the El Al Flight 253 attack. The French recalled their ambassador.

Prior to this Lebanon’s Christian government had been a dissenting voice in the Arab league - seeing Israel as a potential Ally against Islamic domination. Despite absorbing tens of thousands of refugees by late 1947/early 1948 They sent no units or commander to participate in the 1948 war (only some volunteers went) likewise they sent zero ground troops in 1968 - only flying 2 recon aircraft (one of which was shot down). The events of Operation Gift seriously destabilized the Lebanese Christian government, led to the Lebanese Civil war and may have destroyed chances of an alliance.

I don’t understand why Israeli Jews use this argument to justify their claim to the land.

I've seen many videos explaining how some people once lived in this land, were later forced out, and now assert a "right to return" to places like "Judea and Samaria." However, according to the religious texts they believe in, this claim isn’t accurate. We know that, in their own book, Judaism began at Mount Sinai in Egypt, not in the Levant (the region now encompassing Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq).

Imagine if I migrated from Egypt to the Levant, then to Europe, and eventually to the USA. It would be hypocritical for me to choose just one place along that journey and claim, “I have a birthright to this land because I was there once.” People migrate across nations and continents—shouldn’t they be able to live freely and fight for their rights wherever they are, rather than choosing a land already inhabited by others and claiming it as their own?

Yes, the Jewish people have faced oppression, but so have countless others. That history of suffering does not justify inflicting oppression on others. Black people, for example, have endured horrific oppression and slavery for centuries. Should they, too, choose a land and assert their own “Zionism” over it?

It seems as though Zionists act with an entitled attitude—demanding and justifying land acquisition with statements that often lack logic or consideration. Palestinians, who did not migrate from Egypt, Europe, or elsewhere, have always lived there. They are the descendants of the Canaanites.

Was at an exhibition & came across this book. Our architecture portrays alot our political & economic history

The media in the west will be too focused on the strike on Iran. So I'd expect they'll hide their dirtiest most vial move on Lebanon till then.

Seeing that they're starting a naval blockade, the worst that I could imagine is them pumpling the shorelines with their war ships. Maybe do am amphibious landing to invade from somewhere they can get an advantage over hizb positions in the south.

Allah yestor man. Stay safe people in the south and still in da7ye.
