OIC is concerned about non-OIC countries, but not about OIC member countries.

Only a few years ago Lebanon was striving. Now its a basket case. In 1950 Lebanon was a majority Christian country. Now they are only a third. Meanwhile the Government is chaotic at best, and its many religious based parties makes unity impossible. Time to carve up the regions into Christian and Muslim and create two countries.

You don't need our aid. Your precious Allah will save you.

Every country should help so that it can be an example for humanity.

Lebanon has $45 billions of Forex reserves and strategic gold reserves of about $15 billions in monetary values. So they should use their strategic golds instead of begging for pennies to Foreign Countries.

Do hope Lebanon recovers from this crisis and make peace with Israel.
I do hope the Middle East is stable some day.

Last month Lebanon unsuccessfully launched attack on Israel. Still they want aid from world? Incompetent govt.

Cryptographical solution's might with great propriety be introduced into academies as the means of giving tone to the most important of the powers of the mind

[fonzdevries]

"Amazing"
First step, screw everything up
Second step, play the victim card and ask for aid
Third step, go back to step one

[arrunaahathyala]

surprising, when Hamas and Israel were shooting missile even Lebanon shooted few missiles very close to the sea, if they were eager to participate in threatening Israel.along with Hamas show they were fully sufficent than do such country need aid or should ask for aid.

Even in times of a nation crisis can't even depend on politician to agree on one thing..

[julianng]

Aids for the politicians or the citizens
