Lebanon, When Mountains Touch the Sea

“The glory of Lebanon will come to you, 
the juniper, the fir and the cypress together, to adorn my sanctuary; 
and I will glorify the place for my feet” (Isaiah 60:13)

Lebanon has a heritage almost as old as the earliest evidence of mankind. Its geographic position as a crossroads linking the Mediterranean Basin with the great Asian hinterland has conferred on it a cosmopolitan character and a multicultural legacy. Lebanon has an Arab culture colored by Western influences.

At different periods of its history, Lebanon has come under the domination of foreign rulers, including Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans. Although often conquered, the Lebanese take pride in their rebellions against despotic and repressive rulers. Moreover, despite foreign domination, Lebanon's mountainous terrain has provided it with a certain protective isolation, enabling it to survive with an identity all its own.

Its proximity to the sea has ensured that throughout its history Lebanon has held an important position as a trading center. This tradition of commerce began with the Phoenicians and continued through many centuries, remaining almost unaffected by foreign rule and the worst periods of internal strife.
The many civilizations have left their traces and markings in numerous cities.

Beirut’s history dates back over 5,000 years. Under the city’s downtown area lie remnants of Ottoman, Mamluke, Crusader, Abbassid, Omayyad, Byzantine, Roman, Persian, Phoenician and Canaanite Beirut. Its name first appeared in cuneiform as early as the 14th century B.C. In the first century B.C., it became a Roman colony, only to be destroyed later by a triple catastrophe of earthquake, tidal wave and fire in 551A.D. Arab control then dominated until the Crusaders took over in 1110. Following the Crusaders were the Mamlukes and the Turks. After World War I there was a French mandate period, and in 1943 Lebanon gained its independence.

The cedar is a historical entity mentioned in the Bible and other ancient texts and played a large role in the culture and religion in the Middle East. Exploitation of these forests date back to the third millennium B.C., with coastal towns such as Byblos making money using it as timber. It continued with the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians. In ancient times, the cedars were used for roofs of temples, to construct tombs and other major buildings. Many forests were cleared for farmland in the Middle Ages. The Ottomans destroyed quite a bit of the forest in the 19th century, and during World War II much of the wood was used for building railroads.


Tyre, modern Arabic Ṣūr, French Tyr or Sour, Latin Tyrus, Hebrew Zor or Tsor, town on the Mediterranean coast of southern Lebanon, located 12 miles (19 km) north of the modern border with Israel and 25 miles (40 km) south of Sidon (modern Ṣaydā).

Tyre (Arabic: صور‎ Ṣūr) is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, though in medieval times for some centuries by just a tiny population. It was one of the earliest Phoenician metropolises and the legendary birthplace of Europa, her brothers Cadmus and Phoenix, 

A multi-ring structured region on Europa, the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, is named after Tyre, the legendary birthplace of princess Europa.

The state of Lebanon was declared on 1 September 1920, following Decree 318 of 31 August 1920,[1] as a League of Nations Mandate under the proposed terms of the French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon which was to be ratified in 1923. When the Ottoman Empire was formally split up by the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920, it was decided that four of its territories in the Middle East should be League of Nations mandates temporarily governed by the United Kingdom and France on behalf of the League. The British were given Palestine and Iraq, while the French were given a mandate over Syria and Lebanon.

Nov 22, 2019 - In the early morning of Lebanon Independence Day, Friday, November 22, the symbolic fist planted in Martyrs’ Square by the revolutionaries in the first week of the revolution was set on fire by unidentified individuals. Frankly, it was a bit of an upsetting scene to wake up to and see the foundations of the statue of the revolution melting in flames. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/palestinians-unanimously-reject-uae-israel-deal-200814115311669.html – The aftermath: https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/40115

The "official" cause (3.03 tons / 3.3 M quake / 6 years)! The explosion was linked to about 2,750 tonnes (3,030 short tons) of ammonium nitrate that had been confiscated by the government from the abandoned ship MV Rhosus and stored in the port without proper safety measures for six years. The explosion was detected as a seismic event of magnitude 3.3 by the United States Geological Survey.

8-6 - Macron - Beirut - Jupiter day - New pact/reforms - IMF - WMF
  CENTENNIAL FOR LEBANON - The state was declared on 1 September 1920  
He promised locals a "new political pact", and would give the Lebanese government until September 1 to impose it.
‘Without reforms, Lebanon will continue to suffer,’ says Macron in Beirut
angry crowd vented its fury at Lebanon's political leaders, chanting “Revolution” and “The people want to bring down the regime," slogans used during mass protests last year. Macron said he was not there to endorse the “regime” and vowed that French aid would not fall into the “hands of corruption".
"I will talk to all political forces to ask them for a new pact. I am here today to propose a new political pact to them," he said, after being greeted by crowds.
Macron's visit to the small Mediterranean country, France's Middle East protege and former colonial-era protectorate, was the first by a foreign head of state since Tuesday's unprecedented tragedy. Two days on, Lebanon was still reeling from a blast so huge it was felt in neighbouring countries, its mushroom-shaped cloud drawing comparisons with the Hiroshima atom bomb.
"Apocalypse", "Armageddon" – Lebanese were lost for words to describe the impact of the blast, which dwarfed anything the country had experienced in its violence-plagued history. Macron will head to the presidential palace later on Thursday for meetings with “all political actors”, including Prime Minister Hassan Diab. He will also meet with members of different political factions and civil society before giving a press conference.

"We will support you on your journey forward. Today, tomorrow, we will be there by your side", he said. He promised he would come back to Lebanon.

At first, the city/state of Tyre enjoyed good relations with Israel and Judah although the relationship was commercial and not based on any religious or cultural sympathy. When King Solomon built the first temple in Jerusalem, King Hiram of Tyre famously supplied cedar from the forests of Lebanon as well as other materials and even skilled workmen. For this, Hiram was well paid. (1 Kings 5)

The people of Tyre along with the people of its neighbouring city of Sidon are generally called, “Phoenician”. The principal cities of the Phoenicians were originally Byblos, Sidon and Tyre but they established colonies all along the north-African coast and as far west as Portugal and Spain.
