Lebanon… Fatherland and Nation, Traitor, Martyr… Existence and Continuity… History of a Period by artist-painter and poet Joseph Matar
An event is a historic occurrence which modifies the routine that is habitual or expected in daily life. Such was the hanging in 1633 of Emir Fakhreddine, who had been the prince of a united Lebanon. Before Fakhreddine, and in 1613 during his rule, the Ottoman authority repeatedly raised an army, purportedly to restore order in Lebanon.
After the First World War, the Allies, including France, granted Lebanon its independence, providing it with an infrastructure for its prosperity, liberty, peace and so on, but as all the prophets had foreseen Lebanon has shown itself unable to truly subsist. Its people are composed of heterogeneous communities which agree to live together only when it is convenient for them and when their particular tutelary powers concur in the same objective.
In particular, two conceptions constantly confront each other: on the one hand, the Muslim group has a wish not to be separated from the other Muslim countries, while the Christian group remains attached to the Christianized West (Europe or America). Despite the good intentions affirmed in the National Pact of 1943, all the crises affecting the Middle East find expression in a division of Lebanon, justifying the famous expression of Michel Chiha, “Two negations do not make a nation.”
So this is what happens. Some wish to maintain a connection with Syria, a neighbouring state that has never admitted the independence of Lebanon with its particular liberty. In the days of Abdul Nasser many were more Nasserist that Nasser. For some, in the days of the communist USSR, communism was their ideal. Others made Lebanon an affair of family or clan for land or profit.
The Palestinians, originally accepted as guests, became dangerous… Saudi Arabia had its agents, as did Iran, Iraq, Libya, Israel and the dollar itself.
Traitors sowed instability, disaster, terrorism and the ruin of the country. A civil war without mercy raged with the support of powers of every description to put Lebanon under Syrian mandate, which showed itself worse than the old Ottoman regime, even more bloody, with the Palestinians also becoming involved. Nobody was neutral or independent. It is rare to meet a Palestinian who does not have an uncle, a cousin or a nephew in the country, which is only natural after a presence of more than sixty years with unions in this land of welcome.
