Its pathetic. We have people who are lebanese by every right, but since its from their mother's side, they dont get the nationality. And we're out here giving free passports💀

Was waiting for this comment….so backwards

What was the basis of giving this guy the passport? What's the context?

2

u/TeaBagHunter Special Contributor Feb 17 '26

His wife is Lebanese

The president can choose to give anyone the passport as far as I know. There's many syrians and other nationalities who get passports issued by the president but I don't think it's given much media attention

He’s on his way. My team and I are waiting in the airport right now, we prepared a very fresh choreographed dabkeh for him. Stockholm syndrome babyyy.

isn’t this guy who invented a peace prize for a wanna-be dictator pedophile? A new low everyday in this country

This is an insult to all Lebanese children that have a non-lebanese father.

It's also an insult to all Lebanese women.

This is fucked up.

We have 100% culturally Lebanese people that will never get the citizenship just becsuse their father isn't Lebanese, and this infant will get it just because he has some bucks.

His wife is lebanese tho. If Lebanese citizenship can be given through mothers like other countries, he'd be first in line as well

Give lebanese women the rights to pass the passport to their children

Yet my sister can't give the Lebanese passport to her kids if she marries a foreigner.

Pretty much sure Carlos Ghosn is innocent

u/TheBroken0ne Double-Reverse Bias MOD Feb 16 '26

I am not sure where you saw anything about me saying Ghosn is guilty. I don't know and don't give a fuck. What I inferred is that he escaped to Lebanon to avoid trial.

Ah my bad, I misunderstood you!

If his wife is Lebanese and hes getting citizenship then really its a low key sign that things might be changing for the rest of us… just trying to see the silver lining
