Racism, counter-racism and solidarity for refugees in Lebanon – Refugee Hosts

Anti-Syrian banners and graffiti in context: Racism, counter-racism and solidarity for refugees in Lebanon

In the run up to the Lebanese elections on 6 May 2018, national and international media and human rights organisations have denounced the appearance of anti-Syrian banners across #Beirut.

Reading “The day will come when we tell the Syrians: gather your things and everything you stole, and leave,” the words on the banner below are presented as originating from the mouth of the late-Lebanese President, General Bashir Gemayel, the politician pictured to the right and named on the left of the banner.
