I applaude the editors for adding pictures to help visualize the narrative. I applaude the hosts for deeply listening and probing the guest at the right moments. It's rare to have a host who doesn't insert his ego and disturb the guest, and it's even more rare to have two hosts who are coming in at the right moment with nice curiousity that resonates with the listener. Thank you for the guest who is spoon feeding us the extract of years of hard academic work. Thank you Sarde, you guys are precious!
Every time I watch sarde I tell myself this is the best episode, then I watch the next episode, and I say no, this is the best episode. So thanks sarde for giving us amazing episodes every time.❤❤❤
Funding, good lighting, nice voice rec and translation, etc... can make nice episodes but they can't change facts and sometimes cannot hide ignorance. Thank you
I watched it twice and I enjoyed it so much. One of my favourite episodes so far! I feel so hopeful watching people like Makram. Maybe one day I will be back to Lebanon with my kids😅
Insightful episode. Re - on investing back in Lebanon: We were in the process of opening an office in Beirut back in 2019 and hiring local talent, then put everything on hold since the explosion. It's extremely hard to us to make sure we get our work done on time with all issues with stability, collapsed banking sector, power outage and weak internet. We're still looking forward to that day when it comes.
Dr. Makram Rabah possesses an extraordinary level of knowledge in the field. It was a privilege to hear him share stories that are rarely articulated in such detail. I am grateful for team Sarde for providing the platform to people like Makram. The amount of information he shared was so rich and informative that I had to listen to it twice to fully grasp it all 🙏🏻 keep going strong and we need Makram back la nesrod 3a more of his “blast from the past” stories. Liked and Subscribed
« It’s a journey & an invitation for debate » thank u Makram for your book & your invitation for dialogue between Lebanese & your respect for others & different perspectives.
Makram is a sample of Young and True Lebanese, regardless of their religion, who are the only hope and only bet for the Future of Lebanon. Lokman and the many lebanese martyrs would have loved hearing this important interview. Bon courage to the team Sardé.
C’est un des meilleurs épisodes de Sarde que j’ai visionné à ce jour. Les enjeux que font face les Libanais dans les quatre coins du globe sont plus réels que jamais. Keep it up!
@@rabiaabbas262 ما عم قيّم ع صعيد امتلاك المعلومات. ممكن تلاقي بالموسوعات الورقية او الالكترونية او اليوتيوب معلومات اكتر بكتير. لكن عم احكي ع شخص السيد مكرم. الرجل منحاز سياسيا وتحيزه صار واصل فيه لمطارح انو ممكن يكذب. مرة مثلا نشر تغريدة فيها خبر كاذب وكتار نبّهوا لكن بتذكر ما حذف التغريدة. هيدا مثال بسيييط عن كيف انو بعض المثقفين بكبّوا اخلاقياتهم وعلمهم وثقافتهم ع جنب وقت يصير في شي بعارض انحيازهم السياسي
I’m half lebanese. All the Lebanese I knew growing up were immigrants to US in the 80’s, and aren’t very in touch with the current and modern culture. Thanks for helping me learn Arabic, and about the real lebanese intellectual scene :)
Great guests and wonderful people. After watching this sarde, I felt that I gained a wider approach on history, politics, and society. We are lucky to have people like you. All the best
@@hgh60727 Educated people do not necessarily give you facts and good analysis. Sometimes they fail to. They are "people" so they are biased. For example, Makram posted some days ago a fake news tweet. Despite all the comments notifying him about it, he didn't delete the tweet. This is a small example of how political bias makes "educated peole" untrusted.
@@youtubeuser8027 ok it makes sense but why do you think makram is bias? He said we should learn from history. Let me hear your point of view regarding what he said please
@@hgh60727 I am not refering to this episode specifically since I didn't watch it till the end. I was talking in general that Makram is not that trusted speaker. My opinion is based on different past incidences where Makram showed illogical bias. Also you admired in your first comment the Sardin channel's guests, so my first reply was in relation to the channel itself.
This is a brilliant episode, thank you! I've learned a lot and it gave me a new perspective on what's happening or what happened. In the end Prof. Rabah is right: We must make the decision of wanting to live together and then work on the necessary steps of getting there. And justice and accountability are the most important conditions to be successful. So thank you again ❤
I read your comment before you deleted it. Sarde is biased. Most of their guests are from a similar political point of vue, while Lebanon is one of the most complicated situations that cannot be easily understood by an American/European. They also avoid some type of questions; Imagine they hosted a former prisoner in KSA (but he is now pro-MBS) but they didn't dare to ask him a simple question about his experience in jail, while they can make a full episode about a former prisoner in Syria. Funding, good lighting, nice voice and translation, etc... can make nice episodes but they can't change facts and sometimes cannot hide ignorance.
As a non Druze who dated a Druze woman, this was fascinating. And I love Mr. Makram's pragmatic and in a way optimistic description. He is right, we need to strip down the myths of our leaders to understand how they got into the position(s) they do. As well as remembering that some of our conflicts are a drop in a long timeline of cooperation.
I apologize Mr. Rabah I wasn’t patient enough thank you for mentioning the incident of the massacre that happen when kamal Junblat Who was assassinated and most of the victim was a Christian citizen participant at the social party and they were killed at in the ferociously…… Amazing and very interesting interview respect to Dr. Rabah thank you for your invitation to dialogue between the Lebanese And your respect for others and different perspective I hope we can find your book on Amazon
I think the speaker accidentally said that druze came in the19th century, which doesn't align with what he said later about the battle of the 18th or 17th century that gave power to Qaysis. Also the Abbasid caliphate ended in the 13th century. We would appreciate a correction on the era of Druze arrival to lebanon by abbasid solicitation please
There is a proverb in english: if something works, you don't fix it. The country that was born which was called Lebanon, and after it took independence from France, it was a very poor country, because the Ottomans did nothing to it. Whilst Lenanon after the French mandate it became a rich country, and it became rich because of the help of the French. Once the Lebanese discovered that their country can buy gold, they all wanted to control it. Mr. Makram talks about a relationship between the Maronites and the Druze, that was only in mount Lebanon, but not in Kesrouane, or Jbeil, or the north. Or the south.
اللبنانيون في كل مراحل الاشتباك فما بينهم يعزون ذلك الي سبب غير لبناني ، فلسطيني ، سوري، مصري الخ لكن الحقيقة والواقع ان البنية السياسية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية داخل المجتمع اللبناني هي المحرك الأساسي للاشتباك فيما بينهم
12:54 During the 19th century, there was no Abbasid Caliphate. What I know is that the Druze community began to establish itself in Lebanon in the early 11th century. I appreciate if someone can clarify.
This sarde made me realize how ignorant we are about our history as Lebanese people. Our current history only dates from 1975 and a little bit before that. But there's a reason why we are so much divided, and that reason is not arbitrary, it had been cooking since israel came to the region, and we fell for it

Amazing episode!!!!!! Please continue to make episodes about the history of Lebanon and the Lebanese Civil War.

Great educational content
تحليل اكثر من رائع 👏👏👏
He did a drastic change in 21 days, he could have definitely changed the whole Lebanese cycle in 6 years!!! You don’t know him that much!
إنسان مثقف واعي مستنير غيور على وطنه، منفتح وغير طائفي، لديه رؤية لو طبقت لخرج لبنان من محنته.
ألف تحيه له ولأمثاله.
Thank you Makram
برنامج ممتاز ومعلومات قيمة
سردة رائعة

جميل رغم عدم التوافق مع بعض ماطرح
شكرااا...
I enjoyed this immensely❤
Loved the talk, very inspirational gives me hope in our nations ans people.
it would be SO interesting to dig deeper into this student movement from 70s till 90s during the syrian regime
just perfect interview ❤
سردة رائعة وغنية جدا ... شكرا استاذ مكرم
It would be very interesting if you make an episode about druze as a religion not as a culture
its not a religion, its an islamic sect
I enjoyed a lot this Sarde as well.Again, I learned a lot, Lebanese people deserve so much better than what they have to endure now.Wish all the best!
Not Lebanese, right? Don't believe all what you hear ;)

Great guest. All Sarde episodes would be much stronger if the hosts prepare and learn about the subject ahead of the podcast
12:54 During the 19th century, there was no Abbasid Caliphate. What I know is that the Druze community began to establish itself in Lebanon in the early 11th century. I appreciate if someone can clarify.

12:58 *9th century not 19th, زلة لسان.
