Coffee and Politics Episode 2

The second episode of the series “Coffee and Politics,” organized by the Lebanese Kataeb Party, discussed the importance of Lebanese unity in achieving national goals. The discussion covered Lebanon’s history from the declaration of Greater Lebanon in 1920, highlighting the role of Patriarch Elias Hoyek in unifying the nation, as well as the independence milestone in 1943 and the significance of Lebanese unity in realizing it. The episode also reviewed Lebanon’s challenges since the Nakba of 1948, including the civil war, the Taif Agreement, and the role of student resistance against Syrian hegemony, culminating in the Cedar Revolution and the withdrawal of Syrian forces. The speaker pointed out the transition from Syrian tutelage to what he described as Iranian tutelage, warning against tying national decisions to external axes. He emphasized that Lebanon’s strength lies in the unity of its people and their collective commitment to the state project. In conclusion, there was a call to write a unified Lebanese history that can be taught to future generations—free from divisions—to ensure a strong and united future for the country.
