Lebanon WAS part of Syria. That's true,.....as also Palestine and Jordan.
That was called Big Syria.
But if they think that Lebanon is still part of Syria, then.......they are dreaming.
France tried to form an independient state although they didnt want to leave it . They liked to stay in that land and to have it, but lebanese pple wanted to be free. Finally....the french agreed and after a time they left.
Anyways...Syria thought that after almost 30 years being inside Lebanon, they would anex it back to Syria........but again......lebaneses and the rest of the world said NO .
Lebanon is a young country as someone here said. Is young as a state.....but not as a nation.
Lebanon is named many times in the Bible........and wasnt named as Syria.....was named just as it is called today. LEBANON

i heard that lebanon was part of france when a sudden earthquake/tornado combo dislocated lebanon and sent it smashing into the middle east in its presetn day location.

Lebanon is Lebanon!
Lebanon is 10,452 km² and will always be!

Because they are greedy people just like Israel. Hezbollah are their puppets. Ahmadinejad and Assad are the masters of Nashrallah and Hezbollah.

Because they're confusing the historical region of Greater Syria (Bilad al-sham) with the Syrian Arab Republic, Lebanon was never part of Syria (as we know it today) and never will.

Syria wants to weaken Lebanon

Lebanon was never part of Syria that we know today. in fact Greater Syria was used to name an area and not a country. the same way we use the word Europe or Africa.

Well, Lebanon is a fairly new country so it is most likely to be from Syria.

Although i am not Syrian or Lebanese, i read this article that said that Lebanon was named the New Syria. Plus, I must admit their accent are very similar and the way they look. Its just the fact that Lebanese were the first Arabs to travel the world (There first visit was America). Which made Lebanese look less Arabic than they should be (coloured eyes and coloured hair). Which made the rest of the Arab world mix in too. But there is no proof that Lebanon was never really part of Syria.

As for me, i'm just an Arab, I don't support my country whatsoever and i'm not a nationalist. Although people love to call me English, i always feel proud to be called an Arab.

Lebanon was part of Syria it's true. But then it divided itself into countries! (Yay!) But sadly, they gave us a small part

You guys are Lebanese and Arabs end of story.

actually westerners believe that lebanese palestinians and jordanians are just made up nationalities, like when i argue with people that palestine was freee with palestinian people living in it before the Israeli invasion happened they argue "there was no palestinian identity before 1948 you were all syrian before then"

you cant win with these people, look as long as u know what u are dont worry about what other people say, ur lebanese and ur arab

and why dont iraqis call them selves sumarians or mesopotamians or whatever but lebanese insist on being phonecians? or why dont palestinians insist on being called roman or phillistines or caananites or whatever? who gives a damn what was there oevr a thousand years a go things happened since then and now yall are arabs lol whether u like that or not its what u are

Adam

um its not just syrians but its the whole arab and western world that say it, except for lebanon and france, i think.
u can give me thumbs down..i dont care but its the truth..and the truth hurts,,,
