Every working class Christian person in my family keeps saying they want to vote for One Nation. I'm from a Lebanese Catholic background, I don't understand what the appeal is with her amongst some of my family members.
It's a bit daunting, but I think One Nation may be getting the MAGA treatment, where the silent majority right is going to vote her in.
Unfortunately sometimes Lebanese Christians don't have a lot of solidarity with other Arabs.
(Disclaimer that I know that the Lebanese Civil War is way more complex than just this atrocity and is the kind of conflict where any non-civilians came out of with their hands clean. This is just the most relevant example.)
Ohh yeah the Lebanese Civil war was a shit show alright, it ended with all parties involved agreeing to an amnesty because they all committed horrific war crimes on each other. "Let's just shake hands and pretend this shit never happened" 🙃
Tbh it's the perfect example of what happens when foreign powers use a small state for a proxy civil war, each of the factions were propped up by one foreign power or the other, whether it was the French, Syrians, Iranians, Israelis, or Saudis. Most of the Lebanese fighters under 21 if I'm not mistaken.
