But if you keep it out of politics everyone will complain about not being represented, or being supersed by the majority. Plus in the US politicians talk about Christianity all the time so you don't get to tell people about that.

There are plenty of non-religious countries with similar flawed systems, poverty, corruption and poor leadership. The correct ideology and economic system isn't in place, and subversive elements still infiltrates Lebanon (openly, without backlash). This is what has to be rectified. Opportunity need to be created, starting up businesses should become attractive, criminals/terrorists should be removed and a zero tolerance policy towards corruptions, negligence, misconduct, etc, must prevail.

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution

It really is for the best for both religion and government. Politics is a force of violence. It’s why we give the government a monopoly on violence. So when religion and government combine, the violence of the politics bleeds into religions leading to things like the Thirty Years' War.

You guys made a brilliant short summary of Lebanon's failed system. Syria and Israel getting into Lebanon also shows how historically Lebanon was so poorly governed. Assad thought he could gain more control over what he sees as "greater Syria". Israel got in because Palestinians settled in the south and started using Lebanon as a launchpad of terror into Israel. This wouldn't happen in a well managed sovereign country. Sending love to the people of Lebanon! I hope this time you get rid of corruption for good. 🙏

@The Killer All Israel was litteraly doing since it was established is protecting itself. The palestinians and arab neighbours are litteraly the only agressors in this conflict and a small independant research everyone can do will show it. There is no peace-loving country more then Israel- that gave up the majority of the land it legally won only for peace agreements. If the palestinians ever actually wanted peace and co-existance, the conflict would have been long forgotten already.

Economical strain? Social strain? It’s like Lebanon is helping the refugees financially in any shape or form (And I’m not suggesting they’re obligated to but that’s just worth mentioning).

Makes me a lot more grateful to be living in a country without a weird political system, but at the same time, I wish I could help out the people affected by the blast.

This is one of the few resources I have seen that talks about the events leading up to the explosion, instead of other potential disasters in wealthier first-world countries. Great job spreading awareness with this accurate and concise video 👏

Really frustrating to watch, but it's still a great video
