In Lebanon’s most challenging times of political turmoil and government neglect, the heart of the Lebanese people shines brilliantly as a testament to #resilience and #unity. While politicians may pursue their own interests and seek media attention, it is the everyday Lebanese—from the smallest villages to bustling cities, and within the diaspora—who are rising to the occasion. They are offering food, shelter, and care, bridging divides that have long separated us, all motivated by an immense compassion for one another.🤝 This spirit of solidarity embodies the #Lebanon we long for—a Lebanon grounded in #generosity, #strength, and shared #humanity, one where support triumphs over division. It serves as a profound reminder that the true essence of Lebanon resides in its people, not its leaders. By nurturing this unity, we hold the power to rebuild a Lebanon that reflects our highest values—a Lebanon that can stand as a beacon of #hope, strength, and resilience for #future generations. ♥️🇱🇧🤍 #bring_peace_again #stop_the_war

#LebaneseIndependenceDay We, Lebanese people, are often praised for our resilience; it’s a label we’ve earned through countless struggles as our spirit remains steady despite ongoing challenges.🇱🇧 While resilience is a testament to our strength and a badge we wear with pride, we deserve more than merely enduring hardship. We deserve to live in a stable, flourishing nation. Our hopes extend beyond survival, toward a life where peace, progress, and prosperity are our daily reality, not distant dreams. ✨💼 Resilience has been our means to survive, but it is not the end we aspire to. On this Independence Day, we wholeheartedly hope for a future where Lebanon is not only known for its resilience but also for boundless growth and thriving. 🕊️🚀

Today, November 22, marks Lebanon’s Independence Day—a day that traditionally embodies the resilience, unity, and freedom of our nation. Yet, this year, the celebration carries a weight of reflection, pain and sorrow. Independence is not just a historical milestone but a living promise to safeguard our land, our people, and our values. In these difficult times of war, it is crucial to revisit what independence truly means. It is more than sovereignty—it is about unity amidst diversity, hope in adversity, and the unwavering will to rise above all challenges. This moment calls on all of us to go beyond commemoration and embrace peacebuilding. True independence thrives when rooted in peace, dialogue, and mutual understanding. By fostering these principles, we can work toward a Lebanon where differences are bridged, and freedom is safeguarded through collective effort and reconciliation. Let this day serve as a moment of solidarity and freedom. Let us honor not just the independence we gained but also the resilience we as Lebanese continue to show. As we remember our past, may we draw strength to face the uncertainties of the present and strive for a future marked by peace and prosperity. May Lebanon stand strong and peaceful, today and always. #Lebanon #IndependenceDay #Peacebuilding #Unity #Resilience #Hope

Cultural heritage in Lebanon is an essential component of the national identity, a testament to its cultural and civilisational diversity. This heritage is currently at risk of destruction, which constitutes an attack on the collective identity and the memory of people and communities across the wider Arab region. Recognising the importance of protecting Lebanon’s cultural heritage, we call upon the international community to unite for immediate and coordinated actions to safeguard it. We propose the following measures expressed by Lebanese partners on the ground: 1. Adherence to the 1954 Hague Convention; 2. International cooperation and support to stop the widespread destruction of urban spaces; 3. Protection of museums, collection storage facilities, cultural institutions, and other heritage spaces crucial to the cultural continuity of communities. Join us in sharing this message to mobilise the international community in support of Lebanese cultural heritage and the heritage of communities across the wider Arab region. To protect heritage is to protect identity and memory.

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗪𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗠𝗘 It’s my birthday—but that’s not all. November 22nd is also Lebanon’s Independence Day, a day meant to symbolize freedom and resilience. Yet today, Lebanon is under attack. Families are suffering, lives are shattered, and my heart aches for the people who are enduring unimaginable pain right now. But here’s the thing about Lebanon and its people: 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲—𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺. Did you know Lebanon gave the world the alphabet? Or that it’s home to Byblos, one of the oldest cities in history? It’s a country rooted in brilliance and resilience, and no war, no hardship, can erase that. Growing up Lebanese, I learned that resilience isn’t a choice—it’s a way of life. It’s why I don’t just look at challenges; I face them, learn from them, and grow stronger. Lebanon taught me that. So today, I want to honor the people of Lebanon—those fighting to survive, those who’ve been lost to war, and those who carry the spirit of our beautiful country wherever they go. This isn’t just about my birthday or our Independence Day. It’s about celebrating the unbreakable spirit of the Lebanese people. #lebanon #resilience #transformation CCICL (Chambre de commerce et d'industrie Canada-Liban)

Resilience is at the heart of the Lebanese identity 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧 Today, as Lebanon faces yet another dark chapter in its history, we are reminded of our strength as a nation. The challenges are immense, but this is not the first time our people have been tested. Despite the countless challenges—economic crises, political instability, and more—Lebanese people continue to rise. Like the phoenix, we have always risen from our ashes—stronger, more united, and more determined. Through every war, crisis, and hardship, Lebanon has stood tall, and I have no doubt we will rise once again. These difficult times will pass, and with the unwavering spirit of the Lebanese people, we will overcome and rebuild our future. When asked what the secret to Lebanese resilience in the workplace is, the answer is clear: it’s our ability to adapt, innovate, and persevere, no matter the circumstances. Lebanese professionals are known for thriving under pressure, problem-solving with creativity, and maintaining hope when the odds are against them. We carry these qualities into every business venture, every project, and every collaboration. Our resilience is not just survival—it’s about finding new ways to succeed, even in the most challenging times. Hope, resilience, and unity will guide us through as a nation and in our work. 🇱🇧 #Lebanon #Resilience #Hope #StrengthInUnity #BusinessResilience #ProudlyLebanese

🇱🇧Resilience in the Face of Adversity👌 Despite the ongoing challenges Lebanon faces, from economic instability to the devastating impacts of war, many of us continue to show up every day and push forward.

Yet, through this chaos, the Lebanese people demonstrate incredible resilience and determination. We continue to work, innovate, and contribute—because we believe in building a better future, even when the present is uncertain. To my fellow Lebanese professionals: Your strength inspires me. Keep pushing, keep working, and know that each small victory is a step towards rebuilding our country. Let’s stay united, support one another, and show the world that we can rise, no matter the circumstances. #Resilience #Lebanon #TogetherWeRise #StrengthInAdversity #WorkThroughWar #LebaneseProfessionals

#politics #sustainability #NobelPrize The permanent 5 members of the United Nations Security Council (Perm 5) - United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China - are keenly aware Iran has become an unprincipled global law enforcement problem financing non-state terrorist actors such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and others https://lnkd.in/eKxh9Way. With Iranian threats against Israel rising to the level of an imminent direct attack on Israel and Russian President Vladimir Putin obsessed with dislodging the West, United States, European Commission, and NATO both politically and economically, he may be making the same tactical error he made in Ukraine by needlessly invading when he was counseled against it by the Central Intelligence Agency burying himself in the bog of an extended conflict which began as a special operation and is now a full scale war he can neither sustain nor finance any longer. Putin, Xi Jinping of China, nor BRICS can reasonably aspire to unseat the United States. It is impractical unless America internally hemorrhages as during the civil war. Instigating Iran against the United States using Netanyahu and Israeli Zionists, the Jewish president Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, and playing the antisemitic card against the Jewish people of Europe and America, and with the Arabs by collaborating with the Persian and Aryan Iran whom the American and European white supremacists support to draw NATO into an endless war in the Middle East will not work. Russia will be isolated and will lose and it is particularly not in China’s interest to turn this into a wider regional and global conflict. Russia, China, BRICS, and the Global South must forgo their ambition to unseat the United States and return to the table together as responsible UN Perm-5 to ensure global security. The Iranian people have suffered enough extreme hardship since 1953 more because of Islamic terrorism than theocracy. Iran faces imminent and total destruction if it directly attacks Israel with Russian support whom it supported in Ukraine.

📢 Protect Lebanon's Cultural Heritage 📢 As a member of ICOMOS Lebanon, I am deeply concerned about the recent escalation of conflict, which poses a critical threat to our invaluable cultural heritage. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) has issued a statement highlighting the immediate and grave dangers to both tangible and intangible heritage in Lebanon. Lebanon's cultural landscape, including World Heritage sites like Tyre and Baalbek, as well as other significant sites such as Anjar and Byblos, are at risk from ongoing airstrikes and bombings. The destruction of these sites would be a loss for all of humanity. ICOMOS calls on all parties to protect cultural heritage and adhere to international laws, including the 1954 Hague Convention and the 1972 World Heritage Convention. The intentional targeting of cultural and religious sites is a war crime and must be condemned. Let's raise awareness and support efforts to safeguard Lebanon's cultural heritage. Only a cessation of hostilities can prevent further harm. #CulturalHeritage #Lebanon #ICOMOS #ProtectHeritage #WorldHeritage

#politics #sustainability #NobelPrize Ukraine was for Russia’s Vladimir Putin to save himself and consolidate his power ultimately as an autocrat after the fall of the communist Soviet Union, portraying himself first as a Russian ultra nationalist saving the territorial integrity of the country from the West with, of course, some missteps on the part of the West after 1989 such as the needless NATO expansion, 1998 Russian bond default, and the Chechnya war contributing to it. He accomplished that objective. Iran and Syria must be responsibly and jointly counseled by the UNSC to relent by ending their irresponsible state sponsorship of non-state terrorist actors in the G20 countries and reform themselves to fit into the global economic order for the common well-being of all the world’s peoples The Nobel Prize.
