Here we are crowded in the hallways of our homes. Lights off. Whispering.
The streets are dark - electricity is being rationed.
The roads are empty - fuel is beind rationed.
The buzzing sound of murderous Israeli Warplanes surround us. And yet...
and yet when I look up at the sky on this dark and gloomy night,
I see the stars like I've never seen them before.
Shine on us you crazy diamonds that we might find the strength to carry on.

55 (fifty five) Lebanese were just murdered in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee shelted in the city of Qana.
More than 30 of which were children...
At 1 AM on the 30th of July, 2006.
In 1996, 106 Lebanese were murdered by Israel in an airstrike on a UN compound in Lebanon. See below:
The Qana shelling took place on April 18, 1996 in Qana, a village located southeast of Tyre, Lebanon. Qana is one possible site for the Biblical Cana, where Jesus is said by John 2 to have turned water into wine. Amid heavy fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hezbollah during "Operation Grapes of Wrath", a Fijian UNIFIL compound in the village was shelled by Israeli artillery. Around 800 Lebanese civilians had taken refuge there to escape the fighting, of whom 106 were killed and around 116 others injured. Four UNIFIL soldiers were also seriously injured. [1][2] The event has sometimes been referred to as the Qana massacre, for example by Human Rights Watch[3] and the BBC.[4] --Wikipedia
The city of Cana is where Jesus is believed to have performed his first miracle:
Among Christians and other students of the New Testament, Cana is best known as the place where, according to the Fourth Gospel, Jesus performed his first miracle, the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-11) when the wine provided by the bridegroom had run out. None of the synoptic gospels record this event, but in John's gospel it has considerable symbolic importance: it is the first of the seven miraculous "signs" by which Jesus's divine status is attested, and around which the gospel is structured. --Wikipedia

Jeudi 12 juillet, une date que j'attendais impatiemment s'est transformée en un cauchemar .Le jour de la cérémonie de ma remise de diplôme n'était en fait que le 1er jour d'une guerre déclarée sur un pays qui était sur le chemin de la résurrection ''le Liban''.
Ce pays comme un de ces oiseaux qui traversent l'océan ayant subis toutes les tempêtes du monde, tous les orages du monde et n'ont même pas eu le temps de sécher leurs ailes, complètement ébouriffés de partout, qui ont la nausée, le mal de mer, n'étant plus capables de se poser quelques part sans avoir peur de dégringoler de la branche.
Aujourd'hui on tire la sonnette d'alarme, la situation humanitaire est extrêmement préoccupante. Montagne de débris, population isolée, population déplacée, mal nourris, mal logée, sans soins médicaux, des ressortissants bloqués, des aides difficilement acheminés. En un mot, un crime contre les enfants du Liban…contre l'humanité.
Accepter cette impuissance face à cette catastrophe ne serait qu'un second crime, mais cette fois- ci commis par le peuple libanais même. Aujourd'hui et plus que jamais la nouvelle génération est face à un grand défi, il est à nous jeunes du Liban de faire entendre notre voix car nos mots et nos cris ont plus de poids que toutes ces règles et ces lois.
Cette guerre vivante dans tant de cerveaux comme l'indifférence dans tant d'autres et qui pèse sur nous au point qu'on ne devient qu'inquiétude et attente doit être enrayé .Il nous est plus permis de rester anesthésiés en attendant que le dossier libanais soit étudié par tel ou tel pays. Le changement doit se faire de l'intérieure. Mettons de coté nos différences et nos désaccords et unissons nous pour UNE fois afin de sauver un pays presque mort avant qu'il ne soit trop tard. -- Zen --
