Labora ousted from Lebanese University conference

Share:

A dispute took place Friday at the Lebanese University, Faculty of Science over a clause in the display of Labora calling for a stop to the Christian emigration .

Labora was invited to an employment conference at the university and had a display that called for an end to Christian emigration from Lebanon.

According to local reports the Christians are selling a lot of their properties to the Shiites who are being funded by Iran in their drive to purchase land in Christian neighborhoods at massive scales . This is reportedly causing massive emigration of Christians from Lebanon

The head of the Lebanese university Zuhair Shukr called for ousting Labora from the conference for refusing to remove the clause pertaining the emigration of Christians.

Labora coordinator Etienne Lazzal told CNA that his organization participated in the conference just like all other organizations since Thursday bur were surprised Friday when they arrived and found out that their display was damaged . “When we inquired about the reason behind the destruction of our display we were told that Shukr accompanied by lady named Zainab came by and ordered the removal of the clause pertaining the emigration of Christians.”

Shukr was appointed by Speaker Nabih Berri a close ally of Hezbollah as the head of the University which was rebuilt by former PM Rafik Hariri.

    Do not worry the shiites will be killed in Lebanon where Nassrallah is leading the way. Therefore the land will not be occupied anyway. Of course if the Shiites came to celebrate Ashura in Christian heartland and no one dared to say anything. In the end they spat on people as they were leaving. Christians will come back after HA is wiped out no worry..

    The man was expressing his concerns for Christians leaving Lebanon. I don’t find anything wrong with that, without the Christians there is no Lebanon. I have many Sunni Muslim friends that will agree with me 100% on that. If all the Christians go from Lebanon in the future God forbid, please change the name from Lebanon to Tehran #2. Secondly please change the languages from Arabic to Farsi.

    by calling for a stop to christian emigration from lebanon, labora is starting to uncover the tip of the iceberg regarding an existential and crucial subject affecting the fate of the christians in lebanon.

    however, the mere decision of preventing the christians from selling their properties to shias or others is an unconstitutional decision that would increase the burdens on the land owners, if this decision is not accompanied by a series of incentives to make this owner willingly change his mind.  

    no wonder why this subject infuriated the pro berri and pro hezballah university officials, after all, these people bear some great responsibility in the christian emigration plight.

    according to the latest synod that was held in rome, the number of christians in the middle east and specifically in lebanon is steadily and alarmingly declining.

    we can try to highlight some of the most important reasons behind this shift in the lebanese christian demographic trends and why christians are opting for the final emigration solution:

    1- the christians in lebanon almost lost hope in their representatives to be able to carry their grievances to the proper local and international decision makers.

    the christian religious leaders receiving the daily complaints of the christian population, among others, are trying so far unsuccessfully, to relay the message to the political leadership that seems impervious to their repetitive calls.  

    what is making the situation worse for the christians in lebanon is the paralysis of their diametrically opposed political leaderships since they are split between those who represent the true aspirations of the population but somehow are failing miserably to carry their message to a fruitful conclusion and those who got elected on the premises of promoting the welfare of the christians but once elected, switched 180 degrees and started promoting different agendas that are sometimes totally foreign to the needs and wants of the christian population.

    2- while for most of the other Lebanese, it is business as usual to rely respectively and personally on their sectarian political leaders and their different foreign sponsor countries to support them economically, financially, militarily and ideologically, the christians in lebanon do not have any similar significant internal or external support from their leaders for fear of guilt complex of not being patriotic enough or for fear of being labeled traitors by the others if they reach out to western countries.

    3- the christians do not feel secure in their own country any more; they are scared of all the others, specially the armed shias and palestinians, consequently, when they witness their government becoming weaker and weaker by the day and its military establishment not being able to spread its authority except on a reduced area of the country, while lawlessness is spreading throughout the remaining territories, a lot of them consider selling their properties and rejoin their families conveniently settled abroad.

    finally, thanks to labora and its genuine interest and wether it was their proposal to stop selling christian lands or not, and regardless, the christian lebanese with their paralysed leaderships alone cannot bring a solution to their problems that got way beyond their control nor preserve the integrity and the safeguard of lebanon anymore.

    thus the role of the christian expatriates, if lebanon still means anything to them, along with the international community, is becoming essential for the future existence of lebanon as we know it.

    by providing some immediate sense of security and relief for those christians left in lebanon, the expatriates can start to reverse the emigration trend by coming back massively to the country and help turn around the overall situation on the ground.

    they can create associations with international assistance with the sole purpose of providing the basic needs and support for the christians and only the christians to stop selling their properties and remain in their country.

    More Lebanese expatriates are now In Australia, USA, and Canada (etc.) than in all of Lebanon, and that’s not because they are having huge numbers of un-affordable planet-killing children. Probably most are Christians.
       I’d encourage friends to leave if they can – IF: #1 They are finishing university and don’t have a job lined up. #2 They have lost their job and have little prospect of finding one now. #3 They are women – without a hope in hell of equality in society or in the workplace, or ever finding a job.  AND – what do expatriates do?
    They become ‘the tourists’ – who send $ back to Leb-family at most other times to pay for housing, food, health-care, and become the ‘ghost-suppliers’ of Lebanon’s really bad economy which sags under the lack of any real business activity due to never having a functioning government which puts the needs of it’s people FIRST, and cares about infrastucture.
    Perhaps Christians ‘turn the other cheek’ in more ways than one?
      ‘Labora’ thought there were some rights to ‘free speech’ I suppose … since it’s a ‘university’ !!!
