Is it true that the government in Lebanon turns a blind eye to prostitution which brings in many rich saudis?

Update:

listen people, I KNOW THERE IS PROSTITUTION ALL OVER THE WORLD, but in a lot of places the governments do something about it, not turn a blind eyes. Relax people..geeez, you want prostitution you can have it, it's good for lebanon, brings in people and money and corruption and sex slaves, etc...very good for the country.

    Yes. And several other social evils too are ignored for the benefits of tourists and the big bucks they spend in Lebanon.

  • yes jayjay........

    you are right...Lebanon has prostitution...

    That is the "job" most old in all the world.....and if after 2000 years nobody stopped it..........why Lebanon will be different?

    All countries has it. Above all countries with international tourism with rich tourist have it.

    In Lebanon, one of the main problems are the saudis....they have a repressive state there, and go to Lebanon to do what they cant do in their country.

    Saudis are hipocrytical pple..they do what they want when another saudis dont see them

    Unfortunately yes this is true but not only rich Saudis but as rich people as a whole. But I mean prostitution is not illegal but it is wrong. Many others countries does it too, for e.g. Dubai is ranked to have more prostitution problem than any Arab country in the Middle East and check out some videos in youtube.com

    I really think that the government in Lebanon has much bigger fish to fry these days. you can interpret " way down our priority list" as " turning a blind eye".

    But again, before you get all worked out, above people are right and to single Lebanon out for this is unfair, this is done worldwide. same goes for the tobacco industry.

    Prostitution is everywhere. Not only In lebanon.

    Prositution is part of Sex and Tourism there's notthing wrong with that. You either go for it or you just don't !

    Your question should be questionning why do the leb.Gov and other Governments even in Europe aren't legistlating it to protect prostitutes from Human slavery and abuse from "tourists" ?

    ultimate! the main important circulate media turn blind eyes on cuba because of the fact the island is a bounce board for cocaine smuggling and the puppet communist government of cuba is subordinated and subjugated to the CIA (the drug traffickers). Drug money laundered in Florida's jewish economic company is a distinctive financial ruin of an identical tale.
