Titolo: Blog della comunita' Ebraica Libanese

http://lubnan-alkawi.com/jewsoflebanon/index.php
    It is the intent of this blog to reestablish a connection between
Lebanese of the Jewish faith around the world with their country of
Lebanon. The message of coexistence and genuine national unity is not
applicable so as long as a fragment from Lebanon's mosaic of
minorities is missing. If religious coexistence fails in Lebanon it
will ultimately fail throughout the world.
    It is the intent of this blog to provide a venue to express an
adamant rejection of the intertwining of politics and humanitarian and
moral endeavors. We reject the discriminatory and ignorant tendencies
to equate the religion of Judaism to the politics of Zionism.
    The Lebanese experience has reaffirmed the strongly held belief
that so as long as we remain victims of prejudgment and bias we will
continue embedding ignorance within the fabric of our society. This
blog is established in the hopes that we can once again reaffirm our
faith in our country and in the principle of national unity and the
morals of respect and integrity.
    This endeavor is strictly initiated and upheld by our patriotic and
moral convictions and not influenced by any political considerations.
Our aim and intent is solely rested upon our faith in finally building
the Lebanese Republic that not only accepts but embraces religious and
cultural diversity.
    Any individual who subscribes to our philosophy of separating
political agendas from moral obligations is welcomed and encouraged to
help make this blog a success.
    Long Live the Lebanese (no matter what their religious convictions
are!)
Post interessante sulla sinagoga di Beirut, semidistrutta dall'esercito
Israeliano nel 1982.
Si, dall'esercito Israeliano.
    The reality of what exactly happened to the synagogue during the
civil war is more complex than one might expect. Contrary to the
prevailing view that anti-Semitism was the only driving force behind
the migration of Arab Jews from their Arab lands, what happened at the
Maghen Abraham synagogue lends some support to a view held by some
pundits that Israelis had a direct hand in wanting to "facilitate"
Jewish-Arab migration to Israel by terrorizing the communities into
fleeing their homes.
    An article published in the New York Times in 1982 relates how
shortly after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in that year, an Israeli
shell targeted the Maghen Abraham synagogue, blowing a hole in its roof
while some 60 Jewish and Muslim refugees were sleeping there.
    The assault came after Israeli artillery had fired from East Beirut
and gunboats cruising offshore had been persistently pounding Wadi Abu
Jmil, a district well known for being a Jewish quarter, said
neighborhood residents.
    At the same time, in July 1982, an article in the Israeli
newspaper, Yediot Ahronot, said that representatives of the World
Zionist Organization had been unable to convince the Jews of West
Beirut to emigrate to Israel.
    "'Why should we leave?' they asked. 'Here are our homes and
our friends,'" said one Lebanese Jew quoted in the report.
    Others argue, however, that a heavy PLO (Palestine Liberation
Organization) presence in Wadi Abu Jmil was the reason for Israeli
bombardment. While exact details may never become clear, either way the
synagogue suffered at different times throughout the Lebanese civil
war, as did many other religious temples of all confessions located in
Downtown Beirut. Unlike many of these, Maghen Abraham was never totally
destroyed.

 will ultimately fail throughout the world.
Direi che ce n'č bisogno. In Libano rimangono meno di 100 ebrei, uno 
dei quali con un blog.
Qui a Milano, gli ebrei libanesi saranno approssimativamente 15 volte 
tanti.
E perché non ci sono piů ebrei in Libano?

1948 Jewish population: 20,000
2004: Fewer than 1001
When Christian Arabs ruled Lebanon, Jews enjoyed relative toleration. 
In the mid-50's, approximately 7,000 Jews lived in Beirut. As Jews in 
an Arab country, however, their position was never secure, and the 
majority left in 1967.
Fighting in the 1975-76 Muslim-Christian civil war swirled around the 
Jewish Quarter in Beirut, damaging many Jewish homes, businesses and 
synagogues. Most of the remaining 1,800 Lebanese Jews emigrated in 
1976, fearing the growing Syrian presence in Lebanon would curtail 
their freedom. Most Jews went to Europe (particularly France), the 
United States and Canada.
In the mid-1980''s, Hizballah kidnapped several prominent Jews from 
Beirut - most were leaders of what remained of the country's tiny 
Jewish community. Four of the Jews were later found murdered.
Nearly all of the remaining Jews are in Beirut, where there is a 
committee that represents the community.2 Because of the current 
political situation, Jews are unable to openly practice Judaism. In 
2004, only 1 out of 5,000 Lebanese Jewish citizens registered to vote 
participated in the municipal elections. Virtually all of those 
registered have died or fled the country. The lone Jewish voter said 
that most of the community consists of old women.3
The Jewish cemetery in Beirut is decrepit and cared for by an elderly 
Shiite woman. The gravestones, written in Hebrew and French, are a 
testament to the Lebanese Jewish community that is now only a shadow 
of its former self.4
The Arab-Israeli conflict, and Israel's longmilitarypresence in 
Lebanon,provoked strong anti-Israel sentiment. All travel from Lebanon 
to Israel is strictly prohibited.Meanwhile, Hizballah uses southern 
Lebanon as a base for terrorist attacks against Israel.

So get this: there's a Hezbollah member being held captive by the
Israeli security forces, and his name is Nissim Nasser, a Jewish
Lebanese man who acquired Israeli citizenship so that he could spy on
the country and pass information back to the Party of God (so ran the
indictment and on this basis was he sentenced). Hezbollah wanted him
back during one of the prisoner exchanges and ... well, let's recap
quickly: he's a Hezbollah member, he's Lebanese, he's Jewish, and he
got Israeli citzenship. Hezbollah wanted him back as part of an
exchange and Israel refused to release him on the grounds that he is
Israeli

Eh, difficile decidere chi tradire, quando si hanno identita' doppie o 
triple. Un tema trattato ne 'La Tamburina' di Le Carre'. 
Per te mi sembra risolto: nel dubbio tradisci, accampando alti ideali 
umanitari.

troverai molti ebrei libanesi. forwarda il tuo blog e preferito e
segnala loro l'indirizzo (il tuo). C'è un certo F. Levi che sarà
certo molto interessato a quetso ebreo libanese che milita in
hezbollah. Levi è un interista, è interista, colto, educato e molto
simpatico. Buona discussione, eh.
