Marhaba.

I live in Lebanon, Aley district. Israeli airstrike targets are at proximity of my location. Beirut, and particularly Dahieh, is completely visible from my balcony. There are also refugees sheltered in my town.

Other things to know about me: I am a leftist, and a legal and political writer.

P.S. I will answer anything (as it is with AMA posts), not only issues pertaining to the recent events.

    Being the first to emigrate to a large degree is a great explanation. I don't think this one can be blamed on islamophobia because I think the islamophobes just consider Lebanon to be an entirely muslim country already because it's in that part of the world.

    It is no surprise that there are more good Lebanese chefs in Lebanon than anywhere else, and I hope I'll be able to visit someday. Stay safe and thank you for answering our questions!

      Christian immigrants from Lebanon would've had an easier time integrating into islamophobic societies though, and would act as the bridge between cultures.
