The Christian Zu’ama feel threatened by this phenomenon as most of the property sold is of “Christian ownership” while the majority of investors are “Muslim Arabs”, which plunges the matter into a religious and political sphere. MP Boutros Harb proposed a draft law banning Lebanese nationals from selling land to their counterparts from different religions. As Muslim Zu’ama remain silent and express no concerns over this subject, the Maronite Patriarch and other Christian leaders are urging Christians to preserve their land for fear of losing their identity. In compliance with the recommendations of the highest Christian authorities, the bishops and monasteries formed a committee of Christian investors to purchase the property of prospective Christian sellers. However, this move failed to curb sales to non-Christian and non-Lebanese investors, especially since they pay substantial amounts of money that defeat all spiritual and religious appeals soliciting Christians to retain their land.

  • Capital Investment Programme
    Capital Investment Programme Report L17023-0100D-RPT-PM-01 REV 7 Capital Investment Programme INTRODUCTION Since the start of the Syrian crisis, economic growth in Lebanon has slowed down sharply and the number of people living in Lebanon has increased sharply, with an estimated 1.5 million displaced Syrians entering Lebanon during 2011-2017. Despite the major reconstruction of Lebanon’s infrastructure that took place subsequent to the end of the 15-year conflict in 1990, with low levels of public investments after 2000, due in part to fiscal and debt limitations and delays in project implementation, Lebanon’s infrastructure still had significant gaps in various infrastructure sectors when the Syrian crisis evolved. The Syrian crisis placed increased pressure on Lebanon’s infrastructure, leading to deterioration of existing infrastructure, in particular in transport, and a widening of the gaps, in particular in the electricity sector. A sharp expansion of investments in Lebanon’s infrastructure is key to and a recovery of economic growth in the medium term, with increased private sector productivity, and the creation of employment opportunities in the short term. The short-term priority is the completion of projects for which for which external financing has already been secured. These are not part of the Capital Investment Programme (CIP). The CIP is a key pillar of the Government’s vision for stabilization and development against the background of the Syrian crisis and the effects this has had on Lebanon. It comprises new projects for infrastructure investment that will eliminate the gaps that exists between the demand and need for infrastructure services, in all sectors, and the supply, and reduce the cost to the economy of the lack of adequate infrastructure.

  • Urban Arab Palestine, No-Go Areas, and the Conflicted Course of British Counter-Insurgency During the Great Rebellion, 1936–1939
    Chapter 6 “Government Forces Dare Not Penetrate”: Urban Arab Palestine, No-Go Areas, and the Conflicted Course of British Counter-Insurgency during the Great Rebellion, 1936–1939 Simon Davis The Great Palestine Arab rebellion against British rule, sometimes termed the first authentic intifada,1 lasted from April 1936 until summer 1939. The British Mandate’s facilitation of Zionist expansion in Palestine had since the 1920s recurrently aroused violent Arab protest, mainly at urban points of interface with Jewish communities. Initially, the great rebellion seemed just such an- other occurrence, beginning with inter-communal riots in Manshiyeh, the mixed Arab-Jewish workers’ suburb separating the Jewish city of Tel Aviv from its mainly Arab neighbor Jaffa. But despite the reinforcement of exhausted Palestine Police with 300 Cameron Highlanders, a quarter of the infantry in Palestine, the disorders metamorphosed into lasting, territory-wide Arab civil disobedience. Coordinated by National Committees in each principal town, elite leaders hurriedly formed the Jerusalem-based Arab Higher Committee, hoping to preserve leadership over qualitatively new levels of nationally con- scious activism. Proliferating rural sniping and sabotage, mainly on Jewish settlements, most engaged the British military, predisposed to familiar small- war, anti-banditry traditions, largely derived from experience in India. But urban political violence, mainly in the form of reciprocally escalating Arab and Jewish bombings, shootings and stabbings, was left to the increasingly over- whelmed police. Consequent loss of control over Arab towns forced the British High Commissioner, Sir Arthur Wauchope, to invoke emergency regulations in June 1936. But subsequent military repression, frequently contemptuous of civil political context, merely aggravated Arab resistance, which was trans- formed, British observers noted, from past patterns of spasmodic anti-Zionist violence into a comprehensive uprising against British Mandatory rule itself.
