A homeland is not an idea. It is a duty.
The Mount Lebanon Project exists to establish a sovereign state for Eastern Mediterranean Christians and defend the survival, dignity, and self-determination of the Syriac Maronite and all indigenous Christian communities of Lebanon.
We believe that Mount Lebanon is not merely a region on a map. It is the historic refuge, our spiritual homeland, and civilizational center of a people who endured for thousands of years through conquest, famine, persecution, occupation, demographic pressure, and state failure — and still remained rooted in their mountain.
For generations, the Christians of Lebanon were told to place their future in a state that could not protect them, a political class that traded sovereignty for survival, and a regional order that treated them as second-class citizens to be managed rather than a proud people with rights, memory, and a homeland.
That era must end.
The Mount Lebanon Project works to restore political clarity, historical memory, and organized action around one central truth: the people of Mount Lebanon have the right to self-determination and to live freely, securely, and with dignity in their ancestral land.
What we stand for
We stand for the right of the Maronite nation and all the Christians of Lebanon to remain rooted in Mount Lebanon.
We stand for the return of the diaspora to its homeland, not only as memory, but as a political, cultural, and demographic project.
We stand for the protection of Christian villages, churches, families, farmers, and communities abandoned by a collapsing state.
We stand for the revival of Syriac Maronite identity, language, history, and spiritual inheritance.
We stand for a future in which Mount Lebanon is not dragged into wars it did not choose, ruled by militias it did not authorize, or sacrificed for ideologies foreign to its people.
We stand for peace with our natural allies in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, and for a political order that protects life, liberty, faith, property, and continuity.
Our work
The Mount Lebanon Movement works across several fronts:
Political advocacy
We raise the case for Mount Lebanon’s self-determination before public opinion, diaspora communities, and international actors.
Cultural revival
We restore awareness of Mount Lebanese identity through Syriac revival, history, language, media, and education.
Diaspora return
We support the long-term return of Maronites and Eastern Mediterranean Christians to their ancestral homeland through the Maalto vision.
Public communication
We challenge the false narratives that erase Mount Lebanon’s identity, normalize its decline, or treat its people as a disposable minority.
Strategic organization
We work to turn scattered anger into disciplined action, and nostalgia into institutions.
Our vision
Our vision is a free Mount Lebanon: rooted in its Christian inheritance, open to its friends, secure in its borders, responsible before history, and sovereign over its future.
We seek return, self-determination, and freedom. Mount Lebanon is our home, forever and always.
