Waltz With Bashir

Waltz with Bashir. by Ari Folman

Because it is forbidden, here in Lebanon, it is more sought-after and therefore one can find it almost everywhere...

I saw it the first time in Paris.

After watching it again, a few days ago, I wondered what got the Christian militias to commit this act. What pushed them to this horror. Why did they choose these victims in specific.
I googled.
From one info to another, from one site to another, I found myself reading on other horrible massacres.

Why haven’t I ever heard of these massacres? Why was it always about Sabra and Chatila?

What about the Karantina and Tel el Zaatar massacre (perpetrated on Palestinian camps too), and what about the Dammour massacre, Dahr al-Wahsh, and October the 13th?
In the name of which selective morality of the Arab press and European press did these other massacres-in which the Israelis had nothing to do- been ignored?

Even when Israelis are mere observer and not directly implicated in a massacre, they are highly judged. This is to confirm their moral superiority, and the high expectation from the public opinion.

But when arabs kill arabs, no one interferes. It is normal. And amnesia hits the press…
Lebanese kill Lebanese, Syrians kill Lebanese, Syrians kill Syrians, Hamas kills Fatah… This, is tolerated. No one asks questions about it. It is in history books.

But Sabra and Chatila is still commemorated in Lebanon.
Go figure.

During the Gaza offensive, at least 620 people were brutally massacred in Congo with axes, bats and machetes in less than three weeks between December and January. Most of them women and children.
Has anyone heard of this? Or the third world doesn’t count…
Africans kill Africans. The world’s attention was too busy judging and focusing on Israelis…

Reality hurts

Is he saying, in other words, "forget about it?"

That's depressing, hopeless but then again, maybe realistic...

Please follow the link below.It was broadcasted on CNN on the 21st of December. It's about Lebanon's lost community.

Another candle...

Another candle and the world becomes brighter...

Thank you

I’m grateful to my Lubavitch friend who is full of ideas and resources, and who watches out that I’m not being cut out of the rest of the world.

Thanks to him and to the Chabad mouvement that organised the event, I had the chance to watch, live via internet, a public lighting for Channuka, on Sunday and Yesterday.

And for that, I would really like to thank all the Chabad movement, and all it has done and is still doing all over the world, for Jews worldwide, reaching out to them even in the darkest corners of the world…

Keep on lighting the world.

Chag Sameach

I love Hannuka.

This is the Hannukia I found in the attic of my grandmother.

It was about time it came out of the darkness...

Have a brilliant Hannuka

Incitement to Violence

On any ordered merchandise coming from outside Lebanon, the following must be mentionned -on the packaging and invoices- in order to let the goods enter the country:

"We declare that goods are not from Israeli origin, have not been imported from Israel and do not contain any Israeli material."

I can only shake my head in disbelief.

We are a long long way from peace...

Comparison

So why are the Muslims so powerless... Here are some figures and Facts that speak for themselves:

Extracts of speech by Hafez A.B Mohamed: Director-General, Al Baraka Bank, South Africa

Conclusion

The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge. Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge. Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge.
