For once, a video who has circled the world in a mere 24 <BR>> hours, is
about the people, not the parties and the agendas. Even if <BR>> Sahar el Kahteeb is part of Future TV, Sahar represents a lot of <BR>> people who are not political, and have never taken political stances <BR>> in Beirut, and have always played devil's advocate on behalf of all <BR>> parties involved, and trust me, these are many. Unfortunately, these <BR>> people have now been forced into a corner.<BR>><BR>> How do you "look through the hatred" when your parents spent 2 hours <BR>> sitting in the bathroom in Verdun, because they are scared sh*tless <BR>> of their fellow compatriots, turned gunman on their streets. How do <BR>> you look through the hatred when our family turns on all the lights <BR>> and sits by the door and prays that no one breaks into another home. <BR>> How do you look through the hatred when you live abroad, and you <BR>> have
to look at pictures online or on tV of your own neighborhood <BR>> turned into a warzone, not because of a war, but because of a show <BR>> of force. They did not choose to have a show of force between <BR>> parties, and just take a hold of government buildings or just block <BR>> roads or just speak to the parties, they chose to scare the people <BR>> of their own country, and when you do that, it's true, this is <BR>> another era.<BR>><BR>> Lots of people didn't even have any hatred to look through, and did <BR>> open heir homes in July, and did cook for the refuges, and did make <BR>> donations, and did play devil's advocate all this time with all their <BR>> heart, but even if they never took a stand, now they have been <BR>> forced into one.<BR>><BR>> Ayah<BR>><BR>><BR>> On May 10, 2008, at 5:15 AM, jad mezher wrote:<BR>><BR>>>
Although I totally condemn what's going on, including the occupation <BR>>> of "Future" TV, regardless of my personal opinion of the station, <BR>>> no TV in Lebanon is unbiased, not even close to that by the <BR>>> slightest distance, including the journalists that work at those <BR>>> stations.
