My heart is bleeding for Lebanon..
watching news from lebanon is becoming a source of desperation for me..
where is the Lebanon that I know?
Lebanon the “piece of heaven”…
Lebanon the “green and beautiful”…
Lebanon the “unwrapped gifts”…
Lebanon of Gibran, Said Aqel and Fairouz..
Lebanon my source of inspiration..the essence of culture, freedom and arts in the east…
where is that Lebanon now? what the hell have they done with it?
I see nothing but wreckage and piles of death.
I won’t waste my time blaming Israel…since I didn’t expect less brutality…
But I will definitely blame Hizballah for giving Israel the “invitation” they’ve always wanted to destroy lebanon…
I blame them for being so irresponsible and short-visioned…
I totally blame them for making the lebanese blood that cheap…
I blame them for suiciding Lebanon’s economy, tourism and urbanism…
Now what!?
Has Hassan Nasrallah become some sort of an immaculate god or something?
Is it ok now to ctriticize everyone but him?
Putting aside what my personal opinion of Hassan Nasrallah and Hizbullah party/militia is, I cant but recall a local proverb that pops into my mind : elli biddo da7 ma bi2ool 2a7 (something like: who wants to wear cool clothes shouldn’t complain about the chill).
when a man, any man (or a woman by the way) chooses to deal with politics, he should expect to be subjected to critisism, opposition or parody. enno hek.. c’est la vie! maybe it’s not written in any constitution or holy book but it’s like a natural law.
you can’t polticize the way you want and then just expect everyone to say: “hail!” just because you wear a cloth around your head.
you can’t name your party after God and claim that he’s always on your side.
I think it’s time we realized how much offence confusing politics with religion has done to both of them through history.
It’s time we expected polititians to stick to their politics and clerics to stick to their religions (full stop)
