A Political History of Lebanon: 2005-2022

Somehow this video has been made. It is my longest video so far and it really gave me a glimpse into what these longer videos will take. This video is about the recent political developments of Lebanon and it goes into a lot of topics that I might expand upon in a later video.

Pleaaase do a video on the Lebanese Civil War. As a Lebanese, we as a country suffer from a collective amnesia about the war. Our parents don't talk about it and many act as if it never happened even though the tensions of that war are still felt to some extent to this day. You would be doing an amazing service to the Lebanese people by making an in-depth academic outsiders perspective on the topic. It would be a monster of a video though and may become your 13th reason, but you'd have an enternally grateful Lebanese viewer and potential patrion patron (when I start making money) if you did.

Hey man! I'm an Algerian who's loved watching your videos so far. I'm actually a little curious to see you tackle the subject of Algeria some day. Personally, i see Algeria as the country with the most missed potential in the Arab speaking world, although i freely admit i could be biased on this matter.

Either way i would love to see you tackle Algeria one day, no matter what the angle you take is, the discussion itself is what interests me.

Your first video on Lebanon was great so I know this is going to be great as well

As someone who doesn’t know that munch of Middle East politics outside some of the extremist and how chaotic it get, it nice to see explain for them

I wished the best of luck for leabanon is these trying times

Learning more about my father’s history would be nice, Lebanon is such a complex stitching of different religions, ethnicity and much more.

[Poopdahoop]

this is an incredible video, also reminds me a lot of bosnian politics and political structure and even the consequences of that structure

[kuji]

Lebanon does have an unique history and I can't help but be fascinated with the idea of a longer video, if wouldn't be too much to ask a next video would be brilliant

"Lebanon is restless, Syria got its walking papers, Egypt is scheduling elections with more than one candidate, and even Saudi Arabia, whose rulers are perhaps more terrified of women than rulers anywhere else in the world, allowed limited municipal elections"

Really hoping that this video about Lebanon is the same high quality as your other videos about various Middle Eastern topics and conflicts.

Just commenting to manipulate the YouTube algorithm because you deserve more viewers

My brother in Allah thank you for this video!!! I'm so stoked!

[MaorVpraze]

Love your content! I would love to see a deep dive series into the Israeli Palestinian conflict

[sigmaballsnetwork]

Lebanon try not to be a political hellhole challenge (100% fail)

[eulailalady]

I would love to see you make more videos about Lebanese history! Its a topic many do not touch, but you clearly have a lot of knowledge about it! One of the most concise yet detailed videos I've seen about Lebanon and answered a lot of questions I had

[mrttripz]

Lebanon is quite an interesting country. From their sectarian political system to Hezbollah, a state within a state, you certainly have your work cut out for you

[No-ypvo]

great video, a great book I would recommend would be "Black wave" by Kim Ghattas who is a Lebanese journalist. The book covers the political & geopolitical aspect of the middle eats including lebanon. Would love to hear what you think of it

[philliphessel]

Wow, that situation is astonishingly complicated! It takes some doing for a US American to consider _another_ country’s politics amazingly crazy.

From the outside, it seems obvious that the ethnic divisions leave the working class of all ethnic groups continuously screwed. What would it take for people to achieve at least a uniting sense of being Lebanese compatriots? Foreign hegemony apparently has failed to accomplish that.

I would like to see a video about the Yemen civil war .

[JoeMama-dxto]

Just want to say thank you for posting such high quality videos in such fast speeds! Most underrated political/history channel!!!!

[sultanskinny]

Its actually kinda refreshing you didn't bother with the war. Its a lot to unpack.
