Levantine Greeks & the Hellenic Republic | Philos Arabic with Rafael Issa

The Levantine Greeks are members of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch. Levantine Greeks live primarily in western Syrian cities like Damascus, Latakia, Homs, and Aleppo, and also live in the broader region of Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.

    @@D19DMO128D By that logic, you can say the same about the many American-born Greek-Americans, as many of them don't speak Greek. So dear friend, language isn't the only thing that determines one's identity. Genetics, history, and ancestry also determines a person's identity and ethnicity.

    25:40 You can't be Lebanese Greek because you're 'Zeus's children' as opposed to 'Abraham's Children'. You have the blood of those who were once considered the greatest civilisation and the world hasn't seen anything greater since. You are their worst nightmare because for centuries your empire ruled those lands with the difference that your rulers were loved by the people and became heroes for the world. If people start remembering their Greek herritage, 'Pandora's box will open' and Greeks all over would pursue their old glory. That's why they're trying to wipe us out, no matter where in the world we are. In Greece they are trying to muslimise us just as they are trying to make you Arabs simultaniously. You should have been able to move back home whenever you wish to and being a Greek/Cypriot from Greece, it embaraces me that we don't get taught at school that we have brothers in such masses outside Greece and of what great civilisations? Surely a lot of you have purer blood than many that reside in Greece and we know nothing of you in Greece if we don't read into out history ourselves. My respect to those who kept their Greek bloodline as pure as they have among Arab countries, some having been out of the country for over 1,000 years and my support to our brothers/sisters Hellenes in Arab countries ❤

    Please try to find your routes, Greek ethics and who you were. Whoever was converted by force....it took hundreds of years to re-format us, but history is there, available for all Greeks to see what they really were and what they believed in that once made them great!
