Beirut 1976 The Druze Feud That Burned the Chouf
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the brutal 1976 Druze civil war in the Chouf mountains, a forgotten chapter of Lebanon's larger conflict. They focus on the feud between Kamal Jumblatt and the Yazbaki faction, the role of the Syrian-backed Palestinian Liberation Army, and the massacre at Aley. Lucas explains the historical roots of the Jumblatt vs. Yazbaki rivalry dating back to the 18th century, and how the 1976 war shattered the traditional Druze alliance system. The episode also covers the aftermath: the rise of Walid Jumblatt, the demographic transformation of the Chouf, and the long shadow cast on Lebanese Druze identity. Lucas and Luna discuss the complexities of Druze politics, the intersection of family honor and national conflict, and the quiet resilience of a community that has survived centuries of upheaval.
