La guerre.
Beaucoup de blogs ont été créés pour transmettre les pensées de libanais et d’israéliens. Lire leurs lignes est un voyage au cœur de la région, loin des médias et des chaînes télé.
J’ai parcouru quelques uns. En voilà des extraits :
An Israeli doctor
« We all want peace. I marched for it, voted for it, and need it so since I am raising my small children - the fourth generation born to this conflict. I don't want my children to go to the army, to fight wars for politicians and hatred. I want them to grow to a better world. I want them to learn and create, love and smile. I am sure my parents wanted the same for me, when I was small I talked about war with my parents. War seems glorious when you are a child feeding on TV dramas and computer games. I always heard them say that they hope I would not have to go to the army and to war. Years passed. I was drafted in another foolish age when boys want to be men. I became a paratrooper and fought. I understood war from the eyes of a simple infantry soldier. I know now that war is suffering. Suffering of the poor, of the powerless, of the ones dying for the benefit of the strong and the rich.
I decided to become a doctor. To bring healing to the world. To do good. I am writing here for people who think war is glorious. I am writing for my children and for our future in this world.
I am hugging them quietly every night hoping to keep them innocent, small, happy. My son begins to see war as a glorious thing. I will probably be called upon to this war if it will continue.
I am afraid.” lire la suite...

And that's in just 33 Days since attacked . Makes for good reading. Today was a predictable day. Both sides agree to ceasefire but Israeli steps up its attacks on . At about 2pm today we were sitting hoping for some calm and then in the space of one minute 18 bombs dropped, earthquaking in power and massive in sound. Smoke rises again from the southern suburbs, this time the district of Rweiss. Is this what is? A show of final force by the Israelis before they have to 'cease fire'. Gain the highest advantage with which to bargain with. Please. I am more negative now than I was the other day.” Lire la suite...
Isreali Women.
"I wanted to bring today a couple of stories I got by email from an Israeli NGO that protects animal rights. When humans suffer so much the animals are forgotten. The volunteers of this NGO had to risk their lives and drive a couple of times to northern cities to rescue cats and dogs that were left behind when their owners had to flea their homes. One dog owner in Naharia alerted the NGO that his dog was left in the house tied with a leash a week ago. They found the dog in a horrible shape, dried and hungry and all her body was full of scratches. In Zefad they rescued a dog that spent 2 week under a car during rockets falling, feeding her 8 puppies. 3 other dogs in the city that were left without food and water in a barred house were found dead and the apartment was stinking of their corps. In Acko a dog was hit by a rocket and seriously wounded, he was treated by a volunteer vet. These things never get to the news as well." Lire la suite...
A Lebanese doctor.
"My second cousin is in the army. Or was.
He was stationed in
He heard Israeli choppers flying in to drop commandos in a civilian area.
We don't know if he actually managed to get a round fired off or not.
Moments later he became a charred body in a destroyed vehicle.
In my heart, I know his death served no purpose.
He is fodder to the raging inferno of death and hate sweeping , leaving ash and dust in its wake.
But when his toddler kids grow up, and ask me what happened in 2006, I will say he died a hero.
Would they understand the truth? Would they forgive us if they did?" Lire la suite...
