Dear Rania,
Regarding tonight's protest, the slogans will be limited
to:
1- Asking for immediate ceasefire.
2- Condemning the atrocity of
the Israeli military forces.
3- Asking for immediate US support to stop
the attacks on our people.
I think we all agreed on the above points
during the last few meetings at MIT. We need to show that lebanese
people are united. Once the war is over, we can discuss your suggested
ideas in which many lebanese citizens believe.
Wassim
(On behalf of
The Slogan Committee)

agree we want Israel to stop its unhumanitarian attacks.

it is too late now after all the destruction.
> But let's learn one
lesson though: we should also ask for hizballah to stop

Israel... The more they fight Israel, the more Lebanon is destroyed.
>
So why don't we all ask for BOTH parties to stop????
> Why don't we ask
Israel to go fight Iran and Syrian on THEIR land and
> not ours?
>
Hizballah can get out and fight on an Iranian land... do we really
>
want Hizballah?
> They are bringing nothing but destruction and war
from Israel to Lebanon.
>
> We, Lebanese, Christinas and Muslims, shoud
all ask for Hizballah to
> stop their action as well....

civilians, destroying the economy and

condemning the heavy handed actions of

punishment of Lebanon and its people, which

violation of the Geneva Convention and International

but my 85 year old mother had to evacuate right after

apologies for using derogatory language, but I wish there

polite way to call an idiot an idiot. Not only are you

dear Jimmy, but you lack perspective and the analytical

understand that the biggest loser in this conflict is

not Hezbollah. The idiocy of morally decrepit people who

as long as they are under the illusion that Hezbollah

destroyed is mind boggling. Open your eyes and witness who

losers are. Good night! We're not expressing support

Hezbollah, we are expressing solidarity and support for the

living through a genocide you have no shame in appluadng.

obvious. After reading all

is that no one seems to have

Hezbollah for fear of being labeled

of Hezbollah is perceived as support

unpatriotic Farrah I don?t condone

anyways. Philippe Before you go questioning my Lebanese

identity, my patriotism, and calling me a coward let me tell you

something about myself. My house was burned to the ground by the

Druze in 1981; my house was then leveled to the ground by the Israeli

Beirut

some

Lebanese
> Forces with their war with GMA. Despite all that, I love
Lebanon, I

Christians

believe in that

enough to disarm
> Hezbollah. Hezbollah being the undisputed puppets of
Syria and Iran,
> I hold them responsible for the death of some of the
finest people

the rest you

of talks were

every Arab and
> Iranian issue resolved before they did anything. Is
that what you

ass excuses of

civilians is

militias in
> peace with ALL its neighbors working to build a bright
future for its
