True solidarity with the Syrian revolution means more than cheering Assad’s downfall—it requires dismantling the racism and complicity that allowed his regime to thrive. 8/8

The fall of Assad demands a reckoning: Lebanon must confront its role in sustaining his rule and its treatment of Syrian refugees. Racism has been the common language between Lebanese factions, crossing political divides. 7/8

The hypocrisy is glaring: celebrating Syrian freedom while perpetuating systemic racism. It echoes a dark past—supporting the Palestinian cause while scorning Palestinians. 6/8

This paradox runs deep: while some Lebanese supported the Syrian revolution, they dehumanized the very people fighting it. The same media and politicians celebrating Assad’s downfall were leaders in promoting anti-Syrian rhetoric. 5/8

Since 2015, systemic racism against Syrian refugees has defined Lebanon’s policies:
- Forced deportations - Curfews targeting Syrians
- Media campaigns blaming refugees for Lebanon’s crises. These measures mirrored Assad’s dehumanization of his own people. 4/8

Hezbollah’s intervention in Syria to support Assad ensured his survival while costing thousands Syrian lives. Yet, Lebanon's governments mirrored Assad’s policies toward Syrian refugees, fostering exclusion and hostility. 3/8

For decades, Lebanon’s political system was tied to Assad’s regime, shaped by Syrian intelligence and controlled through alliances with local elites. Even after Syria’s withdrawal in 2005, these ties persisted. 2/8
