They never said israeli ennemy.

In most lebanese people's minds israelis are not the ennemy. They are just an inconvenience due their non rapatriation of their pals.

Everone knows but few say it, the ennemy is Assad and Hezbollah.

What people dont realize is that the real ennemy of lebanon's economy is its public sector employees. This huge useless money spending machine that got hired to get current politicians reelected.

Kesrwan. Israelis want to be left alone. They even want to build a wall between us.

Assad is helping arming a milicia in lebanon, chosing brezidents, killing every lebanese leader worthy of his name

You cannot compare an inconvenience (israel) to a catastrophe (assad)

And no, i didnt take statistics. It is taboo in Lebanese media to not hate Israel systematically. And israel is a convenient scapegoat for populists politicians.But most everyone i know feels the same. Even shias.

The simple fact is that in the late 1980's the Lebanese Government of the time sent representatives to sit down face to face with Israeli representatives to try and reach a peace agreement, without any outide interference. Anybody who followed those talks knows that the Lebanese delegation returned home with the draft of an agreement, however when this was put to the then Syrian occupiers of Lebanon they were forced to tear up the draft.
It is now over a quarter of a century since Lebanon was freed from the Syrian yoke, so why has the agreement not been followed up?

After the assassination of Gemayel, Israel and Lebanon signed an agreement on May 17, 1983 which was a peace treaty in all but name. Lebanon signed the agreement but it was opposed by Syria. The agreement was conditional on Syrian withdrawal, which did not occur until April 2005. Much of the content of the treaty was contained in secret protocols and memoranda, and it did not win expected Jordanian and Saudi endorsement. The Lebanese legislature ratified the treaty by a margin of 80 votes, but in a very weak and unstable domestic position president Amine Gemayel abrogated the peace treaty on March 5, 1984 under unrelenting Syrian pressure, after the U.S. Marines withdrew and after Israel had begun withdrawing from Lebanon.
