إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Google celebrated the 69th anniversary of Independence Day of Lebanon on Thursday, with a homepage doodle featuring the temple of Jupiter in Baalbeck.
Lebanon celebrated Independence Day on November 22 marking 69 years of independence with an official ceremony staged in downtown Beirut.
Streets leading to the area were cordoned off for the ceremony which was attended by President Michel Suleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Najib Miqati, diplomats and other dignitaries.
During the Independence Day parade, hundreds of red, white and green balloons were launched skywards after military helicopters overflew marching soldiers.
The Lebanese Independence Day is a national day celebrated in remembrance of the 1943 liberation from the French Mandate which was exercised over Lebanese soil for over 23 years.

you guys need to realize something. when u go to google.com from lebanon, the website automatically knows that ur in lebanon and so this pic appears. If you were to log in from say somewhere in europe, you wouldn't have seen this.
They do this for all countries as well so let's calm down and not feel extra special.

do you actually think the whole world sees this doodle? i can't believe the arrogance lebanese have... did you ever see israel's doodle? senegals? other irrelevant nations?
to answer: it's localized, much like everything else google does.

No positivneutral, it's not on Google.com.lb only, it's on Google.com but perhaps you don't use Google.com to see it.

Google is a great company. It is now trying to take local flavors and be "truly global". Keep the good job google. Smash the hell out of Microsoft and Apple.

Feels so good to see that all Lebanese are proud of their Country. We should all put our differences aside and work for the future of our Country and children and make Lebanon a safe place to live. Lebanon is paradise on Earth, it's up to us to keep it this way forever.
