Since the topic was brought up again after Miss Lebanon’s infamous selfie, I remembered an old article that NowLebanon had posted with the help of Salim El Meouchi, senior partner and chairman of the Beirut-based law firm Badri and Salim El Meouchi, on this matter. To sum things up:– You can’t be friends with an Israeli on Facebook. – You can’t buy an Israeli publication or product. – You can’t engage in a conversation with an Israeli outside Lebanon (except maybe when discussing non-threatening issues or a spontaneous talk)– You can participate in a conference or event where Israelis are present as long as there’s no direct communication. – You can publish in a journal where an Israeli writes as long as the paper is not Israeli and you don’t engage directly with him/her.
