I find the sentence "Despite the lack of any central political authority, the region shared a common language (various dialects of Hebrew), religion and way of life" to be a tad deceptive. Hebrew and Phoenician (and a few others) were essentially dialects of the same Canaanite language. Hebrew was not the set, but rather a subset. I suggest a change to "(various dialects of Canaanite)." D.E. Cottrell (talk) 19:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Support, I am requesting this move. I believe that all these pages should follow the same template. -NYC2TLV 18:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from

Shouldn't this move have been made to History of Jews in Lebanon (note the removal of the word "the")? — George ^[talk] 06:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The number of the Lebanese Jews exceeds the 100 you are talking about in this article.

I modified the number. Haberstr (talk) 21:19, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I already did edit the article before I discuss it here, that is because it's my first time, so I apologise for that, please do restore my edit if my change was not agreed upon.

The change I made was in the following phrase:

"The synagogue was then heavily damaged by Israeli Air Force bombing, that was used as a Palestinian weapons storehouse"

I changed it to: "The synagogue was then heavily damaged by Israeli Air Force bombing, as Israel claimed that it was used as a Palestinian weapons storehouse"

For it was never verified as a fact that there were any weapons in the Synagogue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BassemDeaibess (talk • contribs) 03:44, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Surnames of some well known Lebanese families i would ike to get a citation of some sort of a reference. --Karim666 (talk) 23:29, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For example, "They allied themselves with Pierre Gemayel's Phalangist Party (a right wing, Maronite group modelled after similar movements in Italy and Germany, and Franco's Phalangist movement in Spain.) and played an instrumental role in the establishment of Lebanon as an independent state." ---says who????? 128.103.186.24 (talk) 02:46, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article says there are only between 20 and 40 Jews now living in the country, while the article about Beirut says 5,374 of those voted in the 2009 Lebanese general elections in Beirut were Jews. How does it make sense? TFighterPilot (talk) 22:43, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 5,374 claim doesn't have a source. I researched and tried to find one and could not.Haberstr (talk) 10:05, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Onceinawhile removed content related to anti jewish riots in 1945 claiming it pertained to Tripoli in Libya. [1]

It is pretty clear from this source available online that there were anti jewish riots in Tripoli Lebabon in 1945 in which 14 jews were killed. [2]--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 14:44, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please see discussion at

This article manages saying 2 opposite things at the same time. Right in the opening paragraph it says: "Israel's 1982 invasion and its subsequent occupation of parts of Lebanon, and Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war severely exacerbated emigration", and further below: "especially after the paralysis of the state's institutions in 1975–76 and Israel's invasion in June 1982, the majority of the country's Jews emigrated". However, two lines below that it says: "By 1980 there were only about 200 Jews left in Lebanon". If by 1980 some 200 Jews remained of a community of about 6,000, how much ever could the Israeli invasion of 1982 contribute to the Jewish exodus from Lebanon? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Owliphant (talk • contribs) 22:20, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since neither of those claims came with a

reliable source, I have removed them both. Huon (talk) 22:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

This article completely misses the point that Lebanon was the sole state in the Arab world where the Jewish population increased in the immediate aftermath of the Nakba. --Soman (talk) 11:24, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:History of the Jews in Abkhazia which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:08, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
