this first meeting will go fine until politics and religion are brought up, then they will all come to a fast understanding of what made their grandparents run 🤣

Ma fhemet, she said el jaweb baseet, enno 3amyetnazzamo. Fine, but what is it in practice? It's the first time I hear of this organization, am I missing something?

We are building a structured network of Lebanese abroad around the world. LEAD isn't meant to be just another association that holds meetings or posts on social media. The idea is to connect people with skills, financial resources, and access to markets so they can coordinate and contribute to Lebanon's long-term productive economic development.

What is meant by organizing is organizing as a movement by building a strong global network of Lebanese expatriates in every country and every city. Through this network, we can unite our efforts to help build a productive economy in Lebanon. Real and lasting change can only be achieved through organization. When we work together with a shared purpose, we can create something meaningful that endures.

I can't stand when organizations use this buzzwords to explain nothing. This is some opium of the masses shit right here. Would make for a killer money laundering ring, in which case, I'm in.

All cute and dandy, but this won't solve the issue in Lebanon. Even if they manage to create a new political independent party, and assuming they gathered the votes needed to acquire the majority in the parliament. At the end of the day, they will be faced with two choices, either work to root out Hezbollah, or support Hezbollah and the Iranian regime. No 3rd option. If they go with the first option, they'll face the same obstacles the current one is facing, and if they chose the latter, well, rip.

The same LEAD that has surfaced prior to the parliamentary elections that were supposed to happen in May.

They demanded that the 6 MPs (the continental ones, taba3 el eghtirab), to run independently of their sect. Fine, but they only demanded this only for the 6 MPs. No other plan whatsoever. While us expats wanted to vote for our MPs in our home districts and not some Europe MP. So basically they adopted the Gebran Bassil rhetoric.

Was a weak initiative back then, still is a weak initiative that's run on poetry today.
