What is the role of the anti-globalisation and anti-war movements in Lebanon?

There is no significant anti-globalisation movement to speak of. There are some NGOs, but they are rather marginal. This is partly due to the weakened state of the left in Lebanon.

The 1982 Israeli invasion dealt a heavy blow to the Lebanese left by disarming it and expelling Palestinian armed organisations, thus fostering a communal degeneration of the Lebanese conflict, which contributed to the marginalisation of the left. The Lebanese Communist Party used to have thousands of members, which is a lot in a country with only 3-4 million inhabitants. It grew consistently in the 1970s, and became the largest CP relative to population in the Arab world.

However, the collapse of the USSR dealt it a huge ideological blow. There may still be a couple thousand people in Lebanon who identify themselves as communists, but they are fragmented and organisationally weak. The majority fraction is close to the position of the Shia coalition, while others are part of the anti-Syrian alliance.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
