New Meaning of the Lebanese Flag!

Original Meaning of the Lebanese Flag:

1) The red stripes symbolize the pure blood shed in the aim of liberation.

2) The white stripe symbolizes peace, and the white snow covering Lebanon's
mountains.

3) The green Cedar symbolizes immortality and steadiness.

NEW MEANING by Christine Kalaani:

There were some flaws in the design of this flag and I think Lebanon has been cursed by these flaws as they have become a reality. I think we need to come up with a new one.

1 & 2) We have restricted peace by enclosing the white stripe within the red stripes symbolizing continuous and endless blood shed in the aim of a liberation that is actually trapped.

3) The sole green Cedar symbolizing immortality and steadiness has surely proven itself right as it is the only thing standing steadily in Lebanon. It is also one of the few Cedar trees left in the country.
