Majid Llileh everyone!
ok soooo this post has been long overdue! I know I have a very small following on tumblr however a lot of individuals interact with my posts in regards to my interests such as DCU and even my blogs about being a Catholic 🤍
However, if you don’t know I am of proud Lebanese decent! I can speak Arabic quite well however I cannot read or write which is something I want to learn! My heritage is something I love, it is the one thing I would never change about myself alongside my faith being placed in Christ.
And with this pride comes the need to speak up for my home and my family and the other innocent people placed in danger, suffering and those who have passed away and now rest in eternal peace with Christ.
What is happening in Lebanon right now is not acceptable, it is appalling and is a complete disregard for human life, heritage, culture, history and environmental conditions.
My home is not a ground for Israel or any country to bomb or take advantage.
My home is not a bombing site nor a shooting ground.
My home is not a news headline.
My home is not the next big article or statistic.
My home, my family are not just some statistic or one number from the millions that are in danger or hurt or been killed.
My home is my home.
If you don’t stand with Lebanon than there is a problem. My family of Christian CATHOLIC decent who like myself are proud Catholics are not and should not be targets for Israel and Hamas and Hezbollahs war and destruction. Others who are of Muslim or Druze decent are NOT targets for any war or destruction. I understand religious aspects of this war play into and I respect that but people need to wake up; innocent Christians, Muslims, Druze and even Nonbelievers are dying and being hurt because of this war.
Innocent people are dying, my innocent family are in danger. Alongside my friends families and my community. They are not just a story you see behind your screen, they are real people with lives, ambitions and dreams. They deserve to live safely like myself and you all.
I thank God my family live currently in the north of Lebanon and have not been tremendously affected by the war but there is an unspoken anxiety knowing that I may go to bed one day and wake up to my grandmothers home being hit by a missile or even destroyed as the results of a violent attack.
To all the individuals who have been affected by the war, I’m so so so so sorry. My words can’t express how deeply I feel for you. I’m praying for you all and I love each and every one of you. I pray your families are safe and healthy, I pray that God brings Lebanon and the Lebanese out of this mess safely.
No matter what religion we all bleed the same colour and my condolences go to each person who is suffering because of this war. Its not only Lebanon but Palestine and all countries in danger or war.
This is not a joke and never will be.
My brothers and sisters deserve a good life, not one that is destroyed by the evil of the world.
Pray for Palestine 🇵🇸
Pray for Lebanon 🇱🇧
Pray for Congo 🇨🇩
Pray for Sudan 🇸🇩
Pray for Syria 🇸🇾
Pray for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Spread the word, speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Be a voice for the less fortunate.
- love Belle
