Dont go to America, England, Canada or Australia expecting a better life as a low skilled migrant earning minimum wage. Your large family will still be in a 2 bedroom unit and that's if you are lucky enough to find a rental! Strong competition for rentals everywhere and rent prices are high and minimum wage won't feed your large family. Not everyone in the Western world is rich, many are struggling living in cars and tents.
I live in a first world country and on my morning walk yesterday, saw several young people homeless in the bushes. We have issues here also with cost of living and inflation
England is already on her knees, US is on the way down, Australia is trying hard not the go down. The difference here, depend which country got minerals, tangible assets, strong agriculture. England has got non of above, so they got hit hardest.
Very true life in America is expensive. As an American I have an apartment in Alexandria Egypt and I only spend about $300 US dollars a month when go stay in Egypt
Many people think the grass is always greener on the other side. I have alot of educated friends that moved to Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland on work visa cos the wages there was good but the cost of living there was so high, they couldn't afford luxuries they could afford in South africa. We have the 2nd lowest cost of living and people still complain.
so india calling eu hypocrit for the russia oil , means the mountain shepard should be too if a emergency happens , some just don't give a fck but surely not hypocrits.
It's in the Bible. Then economy will be OK . The world will start to use one currency. People will be comfortable & the rupture will happen unexpectedly. The dragon number will be introduced & many will be deceived. Those won't accept will be tortured to death. Look & watch out. End times!
Man us loudmouths get a pretty rough treatment too, let me tell you. It's a full time job speaking out, and it is immensely taxing. People will defend their stupidity with the ferocity of a lobotomized sumo wrestler.
I was on peacekeeping operation in Lebanon from 1982- 1983, 1987-1988. We were based in tne South in Qana, Tyre area.Such wonderful people and beautiful country. Makes me sad to see this happening to the Lebanese people.
I was a nanny in Lebanon for 13 years it was so beautiful and peaceful then suddenly 2019 started the economic crisis and at that year i go home also ❤❤❤❤

Went to Lebanon in 2018 and I had great time in Beirut. The city was vibrant and I was impressed by the kindness and hospitality of locals. It’s heartbreaking seeing how things changed so rapidly.
When the head of the parlaiment is in power for 30+ years, a war lord, a man who killed Imam Moussa Al-Sadder and framed Qadaffi and has falsely imprisoned his son who is currently in jail in Lebanon for a crime never committed. When this man is the head of a powerful corrupt militia, an Ally of the group labeled by the West as a Terrorist group, yet he is never labeled as such. When this man is giving government positions based on loyalty to himself not the nation, when an illiterate idiot gets promoted to a parlaiment member or minister and can steal from the people as a result, but encouraged to take all they can. When this one man, the Godfather of corruption has been destroying Lebanon for 30+ years under Western protection... When the Lebanese realize how this man destroyed everything and was supported by the West to do so... too late now.

I was once worked as domestic helper in Daekwane, Beirut, when I first step at the airport of Beirut I was so amazed and I really liked it, it was very simple but beautiful. I loved my Madam Lena and her family is very nice. I felt bad and sad for what is happening in Lebanon today, I wish I could see again my Madam. I hope her family is still okay, keep praying to all.
@osok5492 She didn't say she's a slave. She's a foreign worker worked as a domestic helper. She spoke kindly of her Madam and family. Obviously they were kind employer.

What is even more troubling is that these economic troubles that I am seeing in pockets around the globe are actually the tip of the iceberg. Something is coming that will surpass these but will be global. Nation after nation is emerging and the fact is that they have been in trouble for years. It's just that the cracks are becoming more and more obvious to onlookers. Live frugally, spend wisely, and save as much as you can as often as you can. Above all, strengthen yourself internally. Take care.
@@emsik185 that's right. Even in my country, The United States, the land of opportunity, the system is set up such that, even if you get an education, the average person will have to go into massive, almost inescapable debt, to do it. So between college debt, increasing cost of living, and stagnant wages, the person is not much better off than the average citizen with only a high school diploma. While what Eddie Murphy once said was funny and comical, it was a harsh reality: "If shit was worth something, poor people would be born with no assholes." Take care of yourself.💪
@@emsik185No, it's the opposite, poorest families are fighting the richest. All due to envy and jealousy, to the point that rich people constantly hide how wealthy they are by dressing like "poor" people and lying/being dismissive about their financial status.

Your comment I presume will only start a comment war but it will not help those in Lebanon who are suffering. There is no one true god as different religions exist, flat out stating what you personally believe in is selfish and wrong. If God loves everyone, then God will allow different believes that honour their name/names. Exclusion of others just because they’re not the same as only cause chaos and violence. Therefore you making such a bold statement that will offend many people only contributes to what God wants from Humanity in a negative way. If you’re truly Christian and not just an internet troll, I urge to be more mindful that different opinions exist/are allowed and that respecting them is the first thing you need to acknowledge as a truly good hearted person. I have nothing against Christianity, but these flat out statements does nothing but divide people.

Fell in love with Lebanon back in 2018 and went to Tripoli. Love the city and country. Such an amazing place with wonderful people. They deserve kindness and support. Im sorry that this is happening
Lebanon is a prime example of the inability of democracy to work where people vote based totally on identity instead of issues and competence. Cooperation on basic civic issues that affect everyone is next to impossible when everyone hates everyone else not in their religion or sect. In Lebanon they haven't done a census in decades out of fear the new numbers would upset the delicate political balance.
@@Vonaark28 Not sure, but I would think more Christians have emigrated, so Muslims would likely be the majority. But which Muslims? They're also divided.
Lebanon is the little sister of Ukraine. They too have been brutalized by a fascist neighbor. But nobody helped them, because our leaders happen to be super best friends with that neighbor.
@@anarchy_79wdym, most* of Europe is helping out Ukraine and so is USA… sort of. China and India remains impartial, but that’s because they have a lot to gain from stating neutral and friends w/ Russia (but a lot to lose if they became enemies). I assume it’s the same w/ India, but all I know is that China heavily does things for personal gain (personal as in the country). It doesn’t care if another suffers, unless it makes them look bad. China is a very cautious and strategic country (compared to others) and only meddle with things when their own economy is suffering bc of it or they can gain smth out of it. The Middle East has been fighting w/ each other since idk how long, yet china rarely involves as it knows that all of them have oil to give (or other material to give) so picking a side would mean no trade from the other. The funding to most African country was also very strategic and so are the funding towards SEA countries. China is quite frankly, buying trust and recognition. Not everything has to be physical to have importance. Another example is it’s ‘threats’ towards Taiwan, trying to scare Taiwan (well, I think the actual target is USA). It hasn’t and will probably never actually attack Taiwan as long as USA’s behind them, because it knows if they laid a finger on it they would receive huge backlash and the economy would crumble, plus the relationship between USA and China is delicate enough and can break @ any moment. (It’s one of those, ‘I disagree with you and I hate everything you stand for, but you’re beneficial to me so let’s be friends’ relationships). At the end of the day, bad things will always happen, we can try our best to make things better but sadly it’s mainly up to those at the top…let’s just hope for a world with as much peace as possible if world peace cannot be possible.

So sad seeing a vibrant and once wealthy country in the middle east seem so desperate for extreme poverty this time. It''s still a blessing for many that we are no longer in this stage after the pandemic. In South East Asia like the Philippines, many can still survive as we can do this for so many years being below the poverty line. But the government and the people know how to manage their resources, Thanks to many investors giving people the job they deserve.

That depends on where you live in the world. Banks in the West are insured, they're taken over by the gov't if they fail. The shareholders lose, but the clients are guaranteed their money. It happens every year in the US for example. Depositors in Europe can rely on the banks for deposits up to 100k-200k (depending on country). New stricter rules were introduced to force them to have more capital and insurance to guarantee the deposits.

One couple of course their son bought in to the bad stuff (drugs and drinking) but short of that they have all been the best people and so proud to Americans now. Good upstanding church members, it’s a honor to know them.
In the 1967 this was the Switzerland and financial capital of the Middle East. It changed when the bipartisan government of Christians and Muslims was changed to a Muslim government.

A far-right Christian country is the only way to really go. People generally do better when they are in charge. People may not like to hear that but they also know it's true.
FACT: In the mid-20th century, Lebanon was one of the wealthiest and most prosperous countries in the Middle East. Its capital, Beirut, was once known as the Paris of the Middle East. It was the only state in the Middle East where Christianity was dominant, at one point making up over 60% of the population. Now, Lebanon is Islamic.
@Youdontdreamincryo In the 60's and 70's Christians had become minority in Lebanon and Muslims had become majority Lebanon . As the Islamic population grew in Lebanon , the country became less tolerant because the muslims were pushing for rights that were not compatible with Christian value system of Lebanon. Then the influx of Palestinians in 70's. And Muslim Palestinians wanted to create a base to fight Israel. Thats what destroyed Lebanon.

40 years ago I was picked up in Ottawa at the train station by a taxi. The driver was from Lebanon. He insisted that I put my bag in his trunk. Not thinking much about it, I put my bag in the trunk. It was the holidays and my bag was full of my best clothes and shoes. As we drove he told me how resourceful Lebanese people were. The ongoing civil war had destroyed the power grid so people figured out how to steal from the grid. He said there was little food and he blamed the Christians and the Jews. When he dropped me off, he took off so fast I never even got a chance to walk to the back of the car to get my bag from the trunk. Even tho the cabs at the train station required a special permit, the cab co was sure this guy was 'rogue' and he was never found. 40 years I'm seeing the same issues!
The 1975 civil war wasn't a good idea. Killing your neighbors turns out to not be as much fun as it once sounded. Letting Palestinian militants into Lebanon also wasn't too bright. The concept that a people share the same religion as you so therefore they share your values doesn't seem to be too bright. Letting people who love to fight, fighting is all they know, into your country and they then start causing trouble shouldn't have been a surprise. Before 1975 Lebanon was very Western and doing extremely well. But the Lebanese people decided to move toward religious war and chaos. Let's be clear, there are still many Lebanese living well in this created chaos. It's the people who have allowed themselves to be manipulated who are the cause.
A dont think is fair to criticize their religion they have a right to choose. Western people have funny mentality of thinking that other peoples religions and cultures are inferior here we are talking about a failed government.
Israel literally has occupied their land for decades and coincidentally it's the resource rich land of Lebanon that's occupied. They have foreign proxy politicians who serve interests of other governments and not the Lebanese people. It's a sad state of affairs with a corrupt elite living good whilst the average person suffers

Lebaese weddings are the biggest and most lavish weddings anywhere.......How about your rich Lebanese start paying their taxes rather than scamming their government of taxes so that their daughter ( who only really wants a simple wedding) isn't forced into a wedding where her father invites 600 people and spends $200,000 on the event. Type in Lebanese weddings because these always come up as the most over the top events. Fire works, helicopters, paying for premier ballet companies to dance at the event, $50,000 of flowers shipped in from overseas........It's crazy.

I didn't stay and believe if i hahd i would have to work for western organisations/business..those who made the war to conquer the country
Dont go to America, England, Canada or Australia expecting a better life as a low skilled migrant earning minimum wage. Your large family will still be in a 2 bedroom unit and that's if you are lucky enough to find a rental! Strong competition for rentals everywhere and rent prices are high and minimum wage won't feed your large family. Not everyone in the Western world is rich, many are struggling living in cars and tents.
Thankyou. This is something people in third world countries need to hear more often.
I live in a first world country and on my morning walk yesterday, saw several young people homeless in the bushes. We have issues here also with cost of living and inflation
England is already on her knees, US is on the way down, Australia is trying hard not the go down.
The difference here, depend which country got minerals, tangible assets, strong agriculture. England has got non of above, so they got hit hardest.
Very true life in America is expensive. As an American I have an apartment in Alexandria Egypt and I only spend about $300 US dollars a month when go stay in Egypt
Many people think the grass is always greener on the other side. I have alot of educated friends that moved to Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland on work visa cos the wages there was good but the cost of living there was so high, they couldn't afford luxuries they could afford in South africa. We have the 2nd lowest cost of living and people still complain.
With no corruption, incompetency and religious extremism this planet would be heaven. So sad!

Nation after nation is emerging and the fact is that they have been in trouble for years. It's just that the cracks are becoming more and more obvious to onlookers.

@@emsik185 that's right. Even in my country, The United States, the land of opportunity, the system is set up such that, even if you get an education, the average person will have to go into massive, almost inescapable debt, to do it.

Your comment I presume will only start a comment war but it will not help those in Lebanon who are suffering. There is no one true god as different religions exist, flat out stating what you personally believe in is selfish and wrong. If God loves everyone, then God will allow different believes that honour their name/names. Exclusion of others just because they’re not the same as only cause chaos and violence. Therefore you making such a bold statement that will offend many people only contributes to what God wants from Humanity in a negative way. If you’re truly Christian and not just an internet troll, I urge to be more mindful that different opinions exist/are allowed and that respecting them is the first thing you need to acknowledge as a truly good hearted person. I have nothing against Christianity, but these flat out statements does nothing but divide people.

Lebanon is a prime example of the inability of democracy to work where people vote based totally on identity instead of issues and competence. Cooperation on basic civic issues that affect everyone is next to impossible when everyone hates everyone else not in their religion or sect. In Lebanon they haven't done a census in decades out of fear the new numbers would upset the delicate political balance.
It's a perfect sheeple system. 😂

Lebanon is the little sister of Ukraine. They too have been brutalized by a fascist neighbor. But nobody helped them, because our leaders happen to be super best friends with that neighbor.
@@anarchy_79wdym, most* of Europe is helping out Ukraine and so is USA… sort of.
China and India remains impartial, but that’s because they have a lot to gain from stating neutral and friends w/ Russia (but a lot to lose if they became enemies).
I assume it’s the same w/ India, but all I know is that China heavily does things for personal gain (personal as in the country). It doesn’t care if another suffers, unless it makes them look bad. China is a very cautious and strategic country (compared to others) and only meddle with things when their own economy is suffering bc of it or they can gain smth out of it. The Middle East has been fighting w/ each other since idk how long, yet china rarely involves as it knows that all of them have oil to give (or other material to give) so picking a side would mean no trade from the other. The funding to most African country was also very strategic and so are the funding towards SEA countries. China is quite frankly, buying trust and recognition. Not everything has to be physical to have importance. Another example is it’s ‘threats’ towards Taiwan, trying to scare Taiwan (well, I think the actual target is USA). It hasn’t and will probably never actually attack Taiwan as long as USA’s behind them, because it knows if they laid a finger on it they would receive huge backlash and the economy would crumble, plus the relationship between USA and China is delicate enough and can break @ any moment. (It’s one of those, ‘I disagree with you and I hate everything you stand for, but you’re beneficial to me so let’s be friends’ relationships).
At the end of the day, bad things will always happen, we can try our best to make things better but sadly it’s mainly up to those at the top…let’s just hope for a world with as much peace as possible if world peace cannot be possible.

That depends on where you live in the world. Banks in the West are insured, they're taken over by the gov't if they fail. The shareholders lose, but the clients are guaranteed their money. It happens every year in the US for example. Depositors in Europe can rely on the banks for deposits up to 100k-200k (depending on country). New stricter rules were introduced to force them to have more capital and insurance to guarantee the deposits.

Before the interventions and sabotages of nearby countries, Lebanon was the best nation to live in in the Middle East. Like everything else in the world, except for a few countries, everything gone worse in the last 70 years.
Karma
@@அவானிஉயர்ந்தது So, according to your view, Latin Americans,
the Jews, Egyptians, Greeks, Turkish, Europeans, Americans, Indians nd many other nationalities are facing lots of karma in the 'modern' times. I can't agree more.
you mean before the intervention of France that created it in 1944 ...
@@staniel123 Are you suggesting that Jews don't deserve retribution?
It is so damn sad.
The Lebanese are ones of the kindest people I’ve ever met sad to see this happening to their country. Stay strong the Phoenix🇱🇧will rise again. Much love❤🇲🇦
When I was young, before islamic darkness took over, Beirut was considered the Paris of the Middle East
Habibi go blame Israel, if it wasn’t for them Palestinians wouldn’t have to flee
@@royghosn18 Israel is not the governing power of Beirut
I feel bad for hardworking people who saved responsibly and lived simply and are now ruined. How can any government willingly inflict such misery? It's all over the world now. So much for overthrowing monarchy. Democracy is so much better :(
Usury is what causes this poverty. Usury is a mathmatical fraud.
Красивый народ, любим и желаем процветания.
So sorry to see them.
May God bless and protect them.
thank you very much sir. you have a great documentary. the story of Lebanon is somewhat sad because of corruption and incompetence of the government and is happening also in most parts of the world.
Leaving a country is not an option as I think citizens should fight for their justice and better life in their own country.
So sad to see this happening to Lebanon
Here in the Philippines many ppl also experience the struggles in life...but we still can smile, sing and dance are our pasttime.
Always wanted to go to Lebanon. I’ve know a few Lebanese over my life here in America. They have all led great lives. One couple of course their son bought in to the bad stuff (drugs and drinking) but short of that they have all been the best people and so proud to Americans now. Good upstanding church members, it’s a honor to know them.
You haven't met the Hezbola supporters!
Wow! Islam has done so well for these people!
In the 1967 this was the Switzerland and financial capital of the Middle East. It changed when the bipartisan government of Christians and Muslims was changed to a Muslim government. Under the protection of the U.N., the imported PLO drove the Christians out of power and the current economic situation is the result of a religious totalitarian government.
Lebanon was prosperous and vibrant till it was secular. After peaceful community started ruling the downfall began.
As an Indian, I pray for these Lebanese people. Lebanon is a beautiful country, but it's heart-shattering to see how hard this have went. I hope Lebanon comes over this hard situation and reaches a good position.🙏🙏 🇮🇳❤️🇱🇧
You should pray for your own people, 60% of Indian population go to bed at night hungry. So, mind your own business and take your hands off from others.
@@ruabossy4700 In which world do you live we are the 5th largest economy in the world. Do you know how many Starbuck in India. We have landed on Moons south pole were no other country has done. And this we have achieved in just 75 years of Independences.
My heart goes out to Lebanon 😢. I thought Kenya was bad but this is on another level
Kenya is richer pls appreciate and don't destroy what you have built over the years pls
..And this is the country that used to be Switzerland of the Middle East … It’s messed up dude… can’t really blame most Lebanese wanting to leave the country for good…
@@angelheart747 please get yourself updated the country has had 2 wars since ... 15 years civil war + israeli occupation till 2000 and the israeli war in 2006 ... no country survives that. actually many countries do not survive HALf of that

@@lous.1548and Europe had 2 world wars and still recovered a couple decades later. Its really the people who are corrupt and evil. The people on the top just reflects the people on a micro level. People from the levant a corrupt, trecharous, talk too much and ill mannered.
I talk from experience and friends experience
I am from the Philippines and I am afraid that what is happening in Lebanon will happen in our country because of corruption of the past leaders.
Your current leaders are just as corrupt.
Don't worry too much because we can live with just eating rice.
@@rising_sun8682 Hey don't forget the sardines and noodles.
A far-right Christian country is the only way to really go. People generally do better when they are in charge. People may not like to hear that but they also know it's true.
FACT: In the mid-20th century, Lebanon was one of the wealthiest and most prosperous countries in the Middle East. Its capital, Beirut, was once known as the Paris of the Middle East. It was the only state in the Middle East where Christianity was dominant, at one point making up over 60% of the population.
Now, Lebanon is Islamic.
@Youdontdreamincryo In the 60's and 70's Christians had become minority in Lebanon and Muslims had become majority Lebanon . As the Islamic population grew in Lebanon , the country became less tolerant because the muslims were pushing for rights that were not compatible with Christian value system of Lebanon.
Then the influx of Palestinians in 70's. And Muslim Palestinians wanted to create a base to fight Israel.
Thats what destroyed Lebanon.
@brawlerb2299 Yes....muslims kinda wanted more power and closer alignment with Syria and Iran. Not impressive choices I guess
It could happened around the world .....that's why it's good to have a vegetables plot small as it may , but it will help in terms of emergency ...you can plant lots of potatoe which last a year all roots crops .
How can we have vegetable plot ?
You are right...I'm a Canadian that live in a condominium.... All I have is a small balcony....where I park my bicycle....plus we have winter...sometimes its a brutal cold...the only reason I stay here is for the pension when I retire....plus our medical system is is one of the best. So whether you own a house or condominium.... Only summer time you can do planting....still not practical.
Very good idea
@@boivilla7458But i heard in canada people can't get time from a doctor in many days for medical check up.
@@boivilla7458I manage to grew basi and mint on my patio. I also do some green onions by just putting in water.
This story should be a movie!
What is frightening...how the bank frozen that woman's bank account. I have heard numerous times to get your money out of the bank..now it makes sense
40 years ago I was picked up in Ottawa at the train station by a taxi. The driver was from Lebanon. He insisted that I put my bag in his trunk. Not thinking much about it, I put my bag in the trunk. It was the holidays and my bag was full of my best clothes and shoes. As we drove he told me how resourceful Lebanese people were. The ongoing civil war had destroyed the power grid so people figured out how to steal from the grid. He said there was little food and he blamed the Christians and the Jews. When he dropped me off, he took off so fast I never even got a chance to walk to the back of the car to get my bag from the trunk. Even tho the cabs at the train station required a special permit, the cab co was sure this guy was 'rogue' and he was never found. 40 years I'm seeing the same issues!
The 1975 civil war wasn't a good idea. Killing your neighbors turns out to not be as much fun as it once sounded. Letting Palestinian militants into Lebanon also wasn't too bright. The concept that a people share the same religion as you so therefore they share your values doesn't seem to be too bright. Letting people who love to fight, fighting is all they know, into your country and they then start causing trouble shouldn't have been a surprise.
Before 1975 Lebanon was very Western and doing extremely well. But the Lebanese people decided to move toward religious war and chaos. Let's be clear, there are still many Lebanese living well in this created chaos. It's the people who have allowed themselves to be manipulated who are the cause.
A dont think is fair to criticize their religion they have a right to choose. Western people have funny mentality of thinking that other peoples religions and cultures are inferior here we are talking about a failed government.
Support Israel
Who destroyed iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria and killed millions of people. Answer is USA and Europe. For which religion they did this brutality ??
Israel literally has occupied their land for decades and coincidentally it's the resource rich land of Lebanon that's occupied.
They have foreign proxy politicians who serve interests of other governments and not the Lebanese people. It's a sad state of affairs with a corrupt elite living good whilst the average person suffers
When hezabollah is ruling Lebanon, then what more can you expect than poverty?
In Africa life is also getting worse by the day. It's a global problem
Africa is thriving now
This is happening worldwide, the Bible spoke about these times. We need to repent and turn from our sins and seek redemption from the One true God, the creator of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ our savior ❤ Prayers to them 🙏🏼
Amen 🙏
Restore 🇱🇧 Lebanon back to its Christian roots.
Arab countries are very rich, they should help them in the way of Allah as a zakat, or khairat
They are more worried about golden plated cars, megalomaniac Babel's towers (Burj Khalifa) and strange projectsvthat cost countless milions of dollars.
All together spent more than 6 months in Lebanon from yr 2007-2012. It was a great country, beautiful. Im shocked to watch this video how Lebanon has become...😢
لا يغير الله ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم
Hmm....so sad hear about them. I hope lebanon is getting better for the economic soon. My deep
regard from.Indonesia
It really is so sad about what happened to Lebanon 🇱🇧🇱🇧 I hope they can finally recover from the worst situation they already have though it was a nice country if their government and politics did not destroy it.
They can't until Iran is out of the country
Once you let the Islam in , everything would become worse and then gone case .
Islam make everything hell.
The whole world is in the same boat. Canada is suffering too.
Its broke but it can wage war on Israel. Makes a lot of sense
You clearly don’t understand anything about the country, stop regurgitating what you hear on the news and actually go do some meaningful research 🙄
Lebaese weddings are the biggest and most lavish weddings anywhere.......How about your rich Lebanese start paying their taxes rather than scamming their government of taxes so that their daughter ( who only really wants a simple wedding) isn't forced into a wedding where her father invites 600 people and spends $200,000 on the event. Type in Lebanese weddings because these always come up as the most over the top events. Fire works, helicopters, paying for premier ballet companies to dance at the event, $50,000 of flowers shipped in from overseas........It's crazy.
Heartbreaking 😢
This is a disgraceful attack upon the poor and both the Sunni and Shia Muslims and Christians. Their government is corrupt and to blame for this disaster. God Bless the good people of Lebanon ♥️🙏♥️🇳🇫 Scotland where I come from are falling into the same poverty due to London's new Financial Empire, probably where many Lebanese politicians hid their stolen money offshore. 🏴🏴🏴😱😣
May God Bless you people of Lebanon! Prayers all corrupt governments fall. 🙏🏼🙏🏽❤️
This country is beautiful ❤ & the people are great i feel sad for it , lived there till the Bomb & our country evacuated us always felt sorry for the Lebanese that had nowhere to go
Amazing documentary! Thank you
It's really the honest people's silence 🤐 that the evil people subvert the whole country.
it is too many babies the evil people are having too much fun in the bedroom.
We are already going through this same thing in Nigeria
So detailed documentary, Bravo, but iam very sad about Lebanese difficulties
May help the helpless people all over the world 🙏❤

Lovely Christians 😢
I went to Lebanon almost 10y ago in view to live there. It was a ghost country already. Lots of military people everywhere, very few local people. Americans and euroleans had entire areas for themselves (villas, ect..). Sad to c that. I didn't stay and believe if i hahd i would have to work for western organisations/business..those who made the war to conquer the country
