A heartbreaker - this site is brand new as of June 2006, and is devoted to bringing the Jews of Lebanon and their descendants back into contact with their ancestral country. The Jews Of Lebanon - Condemnation of the War in Lebanon.
Hundreds have been killed in the latest violence between Israel and Lebanon and we pray that this will open the door to a final and comprehensive peace agreement. Though we believe in the universal principal of the right to self-defense we condemn the indiscriminate and disproportionate response from the State of Israel and the deliberate targeting of civilians from both sides.
Ultimately, we condemn the violence wholeheartedly.
Our heartfelt condolences to the innocent lives that are lost in this conflict- whether Lebanese and Israeli.
The site also includes an announcement from June of the return of 250 Jews to Beirut and the opening of a shop in the old Jewish market. There are photos and links to information about the old synagogues.
We need peace and freedom for all Middle Easterners now.
Haitham Sabbah, who tipped us to this site, also gives a link to a blog post elsewhere about Indigenous Middle Eastern Jews.
