Well, thank God the Lebanese Army Command is taking care of the REALLY important things that will bring peace and stability to the country!

Where they produced in Israel or just had hebrew markings. This is unbelievable. Our Army Command must be training with the bigots in Syria and Iran... What a shame!

According to the markings on the box it states clearly "Made in China", so maybe it was a consignment that was heading for - as it states "Ashdod" - but was unloaded by error in Beirut.

Stupid stupid move. This is how you serve your country? by focusing on a few toys? Proposterous. Put your energy instead to arrest the HA and Amal thugs who are stealing our custom duties and save us a billion a year.

First I dont cheer at Geagea. I probably despise him more than HA and Amal. As for custom duties, I do work often with the port, and I am offered 2 alternatives: pay custom duties or go through HA route and pay them a fee- here is your proof, sorry i cannot provide you with a youtube video.
As for your beloved war with israel, you can stuff it. I despise the F. israelis, but I will not allow this hatred to dictate each and every move I do. Building a strong state without your beloved mezzanine powers HA and Amal is the best revenge I can take against the zionists.

oil and gas would be owned by the confederate government. Beirut would be the district capital (ala Washington D.C.). Areas are mostly separated quite fairly already (in our case it's mostly religion -> culture -> political aspirations -> etc) and nothing stops you from residing in a different region ( although you would have to submit to local district laws (e.g. no alcohol in public)). The big resources would be shared equally through the central government. This way these guys can invite irani advice as much as they want, these other ones can invite the americans , etc . Solved lol.

what does "confiscated" means in Lebanon? rerouted to private pockets? given as gifts to family and friends? held as ransom until the merchant pays a bribe?

Anti semetic and racist behaviour,shame on you.

I agree with mowaten on this one.

The toys were made is china for the Israeli market. A Lebanese businessman bought the surplus in Shenzen -southern china- had the brilliant idea to ship it to Lebanon.

Results: a big fuss for nothing. I wish our army would intercept RPGs and weapons instead of toys.

The army can intercept and inspect any container or product destined or coming from, by mistake or on purpose, a country at war with Lebanon. Israel would do the same if they find containers destined for Lebanon on their port. However, the racist comments that are permitted by the moderator are unfortunate and lame. Even if I do not agree with those who say that the army move is "anti-Semitic", calling someone "Jew lover" is a low minded speech coming from a tradition of racism and blind hatred. You are not able to distinguish and separate matters how can you function in a society with a healthy mind? You can't separate race from politics or ideology. The few Lebanese Jews who did not leave Lebanon, hiding or living low profile because of your stupid racism are just like any community in Lebanon, they deserve to be included in your multi confessional system and deserve your respect. But the lack of wisdom and proper manners is blinding you.
