@Maronitegirl

Thank u indeed for yr video.U r a nobel Arab Maronite who is a honor to Arabism, the Arab world & the Arab people;-unlike the many pro-zionist Maronite Kataeb/Forces members who dishonor Arabism whom we unfortunalety come across on Youtube.

Glory to all pro-Arab Maronites who r an honorable contribution to the Arab world;Jubran Khalil,Eli Madhi,Fairouz,& the countless figures who r a gift to humanity.

Shukran ya bint el-2osul wel sharaf.

Palestinian greetings to u from Germany.
