Lebanese Christians Refuse to Flee Israeli Onslaught

Israel resumed airstrikes on Lebanon and prepared for a possible ground invasion, reported The Associated Press on Friday. Yet as violence escalates in the region, some Lebanese Christians have refused to leave their homeland, choosing instead to wait for the conflict to end and depend on God.

“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.
