Could anyone give me a rundown on this and how it would come into play if Israel invades or launches major strikes into Lebanon? I understand their political wing holds a small minority in the government, but I’m not sure if their militant wing is endorsed or directly supported by the government.
It’s about 5 years old now but start here.
“Lebanon’s Revolution is Without Revolutionary Ideology” by Ali Kadri
http://alhoukoul.com/lebanon-s-revolution-is-without-revolutionary-ideology-ali-kadri/
It goes over the 2019 color revolution and gives a backdrop of how the imperialists have systematically gutted Lebanon’s governmental institutions over the past decades.
Basically Lebanon today is the victim of a comprehensive hybrid war that has gutted the state and civil society.
Some stuff since the article was published:
Since 2022 when Aoun left there’s no president. The economy is in shambles there’s extreme poverty for many Lebanese and especially the millions of Syrian and Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon. Imperialist NGO’s have supplanted a lot of what a government should be doing.
The Lebanese army collaborates with the imperialists but it would see internal coup if the leadership ever actually declared war on Hezbollah on behalf of their imperial handlers.
Hezbollah provides social services in the south that a government would provide.
Inflation was in the triple digits for the last few years. The banking industry is a horror show- Kadri discusses this.
Sectarianism remains a major issue and is quite literally enshrined into the constitution by the Taif agreement.
Huge sections of Beirut are still abandoned after the port explosion in 2020. Rather than the government receiving international financial support the majority of it was directed to “international organizations” which are all hybrid weapons of US/EU.
Basically Lebanon is a tangled mess of international capital interests from France to US to the Khaleej.
The Lebanese communist party has become a revisionist mess even openly working with the Lebanese Forces (fascists who were alligned with Zionism during the civil war) as recently as 2022. Although they are turning around a bit post Al-Aqsa Flood.
Hezbollah is the only real sovereign force present in Lebanon and it is not accountable to the shell of a government that exists. There is a funny story that a few months ago the US negotiators asked members of Lebanon parliament if they could move Hezbollah to north of the Litani river and they replied it would be easier to move the river down south than to move Hezbollah.
When the cancerous usurping zionist entity is finally ejected there will have to be a comprehensive economic/political/social revolution in Lebanon rebuilding it from the ground up insha’allah
Thanks, do you think the Lebanese military will just abandon the southern half of the country if Israel invades? Is it possible they would even join or help coordinate the attack? Or are they an afterthought?
Whatever role they play it will not be on the right side of history. Last week: https://www.lebarmy.gov.lb/en/content/lebanese-armed-forces-commander-meets-commander-us-central-command-general-michael-kurilla
Within the framework of his visit to the United States, the Lebanese Armed Forces Commander, General Joseph Aoun, met with the Commander of the United States Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, at the Central Command headquarters in Tampa. The discussion focused on the general situation in Lebanon and the region, as well as ways to enhance cooperation between the Lebanese and US armies.
Probably just discussing the

There’s a government in Lebanon?
Of course… and how is Hezbollah doing with it?
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t know
I replied above 👍
