Lebanese Christians Refuse to Flee Israeli Onslaught
“I stay because I don’t want to abandon my country when matters get tough,” stated Dr. Habib Malik, professor of history and cultural studies at the Lebanese American University in Beirut.
“But it is not all patriotism,” he added.
Malik, a Harvard graduate and son of the internationally known Lebanese diplomat who was instrumental in the drafting of the U.N. declaration on Human Rights, lives with his family in the heart of the Christian area just north-east of Beirut.
