This Is How Lebanese Social Media Is Reacting To Valentine Day This Year
Valentine's day can be both loved and hated. Some fully immerse in it ahead of time and some fully avoid it, also ahead of time. And when it comes to Lebanon in crisis, some feel the need to bash it and ridicule it, mostly a way to express their frustration.
And since the Lebanese make a perfect duo with sarcasm, an inseparable "couple-goals", V-Day this year is just another opportunity for them to share their takes about it.
Love, greetings, and funny attitudes, here are the most notable ones:
