| Message | Greatt, Angelo, to read your views on the the big issue of the moment: the destruction of a country, Lebanon, its people and its infrastructure, just as it was all being rebuilt after the last onslaught in the 1980's, by its vengeful, aggressive neighbour, Israel. Israel, moreover, being encouraged in this cowardly act by the U.S. which supplied the weapons of mass destruction which are being used to kill families - Mums, Dads, children and babies from a safe distance of many hundreds of kilometres.
Lebanese people are people like you and me, very ordinary, living their own lives, albeit in a rather crazy and mixed up area of the world. We see them now among the rubble, smoke and dust, but I remember seeing them last year, wallking the streets of Beirut, Sidon, Tyre, Tripoli and so on. Just regular people living in a civilised modern society.
It just seems to be too easy for politicians and journalists to talk about war, defence, terrorism, weapons and so on without thinking of the human consquences. In its war against so-called terrorism, the biggest rogue state in the world, the US, is helping Israel commit terrorist acts against the innocent people of Lebanon and the politicians and media owners carry on as if it is some game. Disgusted.
So please do not hold back in your condemnation of what Israel is now doing. We need more voices like yours expressing our outrage. |
