For once, a video who has circled the world in a mere 24 hours, is about the people, not the parties and the agendas. Even if Sahar el Kahteeb is part of Future TV, Sahar represents a lot of people who are not political, and have never taken political stances in Beirut, and have always played devil's advocate on behalf of all parties involved, and trust me, these are many. Unfortunately, these people have now been forced into a corner. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>How do you "look through the hatred" when your parents spent 2 hours sitting in the bathroom in Verdun, because they are scared sh*tless of their fellow compatriots, turned gunman on their streets. How do you look through the hatred when our family turns on all the lights and sits by the door and prays that no one breaks into another home. How do you look through the hatred when you live abroad, and you have to look at pictures online or on tV of your own neighborhood turned into a warzone, not because of a war, but because of a show of force. They did not choose to have a show of force between parties, and just take a hold of government buildings or just block roads or just speak to the parties, they chose to scare the people of their own country, and when you do that, it's true, this is another era.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Lots of people didn't even have any hatred to look through, and did open heir homes in July, and did cook for the refuges, and did make donations, and did play devil's advocate all this time with all their heart, but even if they never took a stand, now they have been forced into one.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Ayah</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><div><div>On May 10, 2008, at 5:15 AM, jad mezher wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">Although I totally condemn what's going on, including the occupation of "Future" TV, regardless of my personal opinion of the station, no TV in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">Lebanon</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is unbiased, not even close to that by the slightest distance, including the journalists that work at those stations.
