Cold Desert - ahmad / Libanon
"Although I don't support Hezbollah or any Lebanese party, I would never consider Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Like the majority of the Lebanese, I consider Hezbollah as a national resistance movement that existed and still exist to free the Lebanese land occupied by the Israeli forces."

Lebanon Israeli Crisis - Beezer / Libanon
"Some didn't have money for a taxi or had no car that was still capable of taking them across to the border so they were forced to walk several kilometers with babies in one hand a torn up bags in the other. It was horrid, words cannot describe the situation there..."

UrShalim - Moussa Bashir / Libanon
"My neighbor finally answered my phone call. He is okay. It wasn’t the Hachem gas station that is near my house that was bombed." ... "He is a member of Aoun’s bloc. He has many gas stations. Four of them have been bombed so far. He must have done something terrible to anger Olmert."

The Perpetual Refugee / Libanon
"Silence from the brotherly ‘Arab’ countries as they take pleasure in watching lowly Shi’ites perishing before theirs eyes. They don’t ask questions. They don’t want to know how many Sunnis were brutally murdered. Or Maronites. Greek Orthodox. People. Human beings. They sit back in their majlis, drinking their tea while infidels are slaughtered."

Me, myself, and my Lebanon - Princess Mononoke / Libanon
"To every single one of you ... who chooses to stay, when all the rest have left to the brave men and women who lend a helping hand for nothing in return to the volunteers who risk their lives every hour of every day to rescue what remains we say THANK YOU. you are our true heroes."
Lebanonesque - Josey Wales / Libanon
"Stop. For the love of God, stop talking about Goddamn "fresh sense of urgency". Act NOW, Goddamn idiots it is the LAW and your RESPONSIBILITY."

Jamal's Propaganda Site / Libanon
"Angry Olmert Day 16
I don't want to get accused of only pointing the negative side of Olmert's vicious criminal war. If you look beyond the 500 civilians killed so far and the immeasurable pain and suffering he inflicted on the people of Lebanon and the people of Israel for that matter, you might find a positive."

The Angry Arab News Service / Libanon
"Israeli newspapers, especially in their military reports, read like Syrian newspapers at times of war. Notice how they just print uncritically Israeli military propaganda."
Beirut Spring - Mustapha / Libanon
"Hezbollah’s supporters are waging an aggressive campaign to discredit other Lebanese as Zionist and American stooges. Why? Because while the Lebanese are not “rising against Hezbollah,” they are clearly engaged in a conspiracy of silence."

Across the Bay - Anton Efendi / Libanon
"... So that's why you hear the propagandists selling you the line that really Syria only supports Hezbollah "morally" and "diplomatically" but does not supply it with arms or funds, etc."

Aron's Israel Peace Weblog / Israel
"Unfortunately for him, things have changed since the last time Israel fought a war. Now there is the Internet, and Israel is an extremely wired country. Even if the military censors and self-censorship of the Israeli press keeps out the scenes of devestation in Lebanon, holds back on the number of Israeli soldiers killed for as long as possible, and exaggerates the military's achievements, ordinary Israelis can see for themselves that their leaders are lying."
Orthodox Anarchist - Daniel Sieradski / Israel
"i deleted a comment earlier from a montreal resident calling himself "fuc israel" who, in the same breath, called 'zionist jews' 'nazis,' praised hizbullah, and wished for the jews' extermination. note to 'fuc israel,' when you call for the extermination of another people, it is you who holds the most in common with nazis."

Israel Perspectives: Feeling 'Right' at Home - Ze'ev / Israel
"Isn't it ironic that ... nearly one million Israelis in the north of Israel are separated from their homes - either staying in bomb shelters (or near them), or having left their homes altogether seeking refuge in "safer" parts of the country; without access to many of the comforts of their homes."
westbankblog - westbankmama / Israel
"I am listening to IDF radio. Rozie Barkai opened the show mostly to parents to call in and discuss what they feel and think about the fighting. So far every parent has been overwhelmingly supportive of the war."

Balagan - renatinha / Israel
"Anyway... I'm finishing to pack and travelling to the North again tomorrow morning. I'll be there at least until Monday and it's hard to believe I'll have time to update. I'll do my best though. I guess this time is gonna be harder being forced to use the 8kg bullet proof vest in the border area, as the newsroom's asking. Oh Gosh. It sounds ridiculous to me thinking about wandering around Israel with 8kg ceramics on me. Damn it."

A Day in the Life of a Tel Aviv Woman - Leora / Israel
"Of course the situation in Israel was high on the list of conversation topics, but people also needed a release from it all, even if it is only for a few hours. I wonder what next year will bring?"
Faith in Nathan / Israel
"Here is what is going on my life: working almost nonstop, cooking, walking everywhere, celebrating two years of Aliyah (tomorrow - 25 Tammuz), ogling very attractive Israeli girls and hitting on them in the supermarket and on the street and restaurants and in the bank, wondering whether I’ll keep this young beard, sweating like a pig, missing Jerusalem especially at night, and wishing that my country would really go to war."

Israelity / Israel
"I can just imagine what it’s like for the parents in those shelters. The real nightmare must be where the television service has broken down. There was a story on the news that the cable and satellite companies aren’t going up and doing repairs because they don’t want to put their technicians in danger."

If I forget thee... - Gilly / Israel
"It has come as little surprise that whilst Israelis are sitting in their bomb shelters, with 1 dead and 70 wounded in the barrage as well as 8 dead soldiers and 2 more kidnapped, the French Foreign Minister has actually had the gall to condemn Israel for responding in what he termed 'a disproportionate act of war'."
