Lebanon’s Biggest Problem Is Not Israel
The first time I went to Lebanon, I was nearly blinded by the excitement of finally seeing the home of my ancestors. After all, every Sunday for 16 years, I had heard Melkite and Maronite masses in Lebanese, Greek, and ancient Aramaic, and sung hymns I didn’t always understand but felt a deep connection to — music that took me somewhere beyond the walls of the West Roxbury parishes. At coffee hour after mass, or at hafles on the weekend, the old-timers would recount the beauty of their villages while munching on the delicious Lebanese treats of the day. The scents of za’atar, rose syrup, and coffee mark these memories. And a sense of longing to see for myself what they were talking about.

Executive Director of Bachir Gemayel Foundation: He Was a Project of Peace Between Sects to Build a Civilized State
Executive Director of Bachir Gemayel Foundation Alfred Madi recalled Bachir Gemayel on the anniversary his election on the 23rd of August 1982, saying that he was a project of peace between sects to accept each other to build a civilized State.
“The United States recognized Bachir Gemayel and assured him through a letter it sent that the Palestinian cause will not be resolved at the expense of the Lebanese one,” Madi said in an interview with LBCI.
“During the first round, 3 MPs cast white ballots and Bachir Gemayel failed to amass the two-thirds quorum, gaining 58 votes against 1 for Raymond Eddeh. Therefore, a second round was held whereby Gemayel received 57 votes and was elected President,” he said when asked about Gemayel’s election session.
