He's claiming Israel is hitting a Christian and USA-like nation. He's not downing Muslims, he's actually trying to foster a sense of kinship among Muslims and Christians and promote Israel hatred by saying here is a nation that is very much like America so if American Christians weren't mad...

The president of Lebanon is always a Christian, because it is written in to their constitution. President is a Maronite Christian, the Prime Minister a Sunni Muslim, and the Speaker of Parliament a Shia Muslim. Not because, as Fucker probably thinks that they are a Christian nation. 1/2

It took a "civilized country" for Shias, Sunnis, Maronite Christians to come together to agree on a plan that would best unite the country, and not have endless civil war. It does leave out the Druze, who are about 5% of the population. They are doing a better job than we are right now.

Does Tucker not know the Taif agreement or is he pretending not to know the Taif agreement?
