Lebanese playing poker with Israelis "a betrayal of the homeland"

Last week, in Montenegro, the Lebanese Poker Cup was held.

Apparently, Lebanese poker is popular among Israelis, and a contingent of over 100 Israelis participated, along with players from all over the world.

Including, of course, Lebanon.

Al Hadath News is very upset at the idea of Lebanese and Israelis competing at the same table.

Despite the fact that the hosting country was not Lebanon, the competing with the enemy at the same table is no less than a betrayal of the homeland.... The historic conflict between Israel and Lebanon is a fundamental incentive to deter any contact with the enemy under any circumstances or event.

If I didn't know any better, I would think that the Lebanese are against a little more than the "occupation." One could almost think that hating Israel is an obsession.

But surely that cannot be true. I mean, wouldn't it be in the newspapers?

Anyway, since any contact with the Israeli enemy is anathema, that would mean that anything that Israelis tweet to Al Hadath News cannot be answered....
