Laci,

If Israel can hit the bottle of wine on the table from the farthest corner of the Earth without even touching the cups, why don't they do it? Why isn't any of Hizbollah leaders dead? Why do so many "most wanted" Palestinian terrorists remain at large?

If our army is so infallible, why were so many Isreali soldeirs killed by "friendly fire"? Why do our choppers crash (sometimes into one another)? If our intelligence is that good, why didn't our warships have their ECM on, getting hit by a rocket as a result? Why do we stand helpless against the missile launchers?

Accidents will happen, especially in a war. Any death is a tragedy. Civilians in particular, innocent children most of all.

To believe that Israel intentionally targets civilians, and the reasoning you use to conclude so, is absurd.

2006-08-05T03:11:00.000+03:00

Dear Lewis,

You know just as well as I do that killing innocent people is NOT a "mistake". With the technology you have in Israel one could hit the bottle of wine on the table from the farthest corner of the Earth without even touching the cups. C'mon, Lewis! Don't pretend to be naive. Go and kill the Hizbullah or the Iranian army. You could do it. But, please, don't even try to suggest that if someone in my neighbourhood is waving with a dagger I'm supposed to slaughter the entire family regardless of age and sex. Don't even say that Qana was an "accident". Your intelligense know exactly where Hizbullah depos and strongholds are. It's not a "mistake" that your army has killed almost 1000 innocent civilians so far. How can you explain the massacres in Gaza? Are these people are natural born terrorists? I don't think you cannot see the cause. Have you ever been to Beirut? I was there many times. I was in your country too. I was always welcome to Lebanon. However, oddly enough, there were two words I never heard in Israel: "please" and "thanks." What is it you are fighting for? Who is it you are fighting against? Is it in the Constitution of your country that to maintain the apartheid is the only way to secure "democracy"?
I'm shocked. Sorry.

Warm regards,

Laci

2006-08-04T17:35:00.001+03:00

Dear Lewis,

The root of this problem is the Arab-Israeli conflict which began in 1948 with the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from THEIR HOMES, to create the state of Israel.

Those refugees have led to formation of Hamas, Hezbollah and others.

Those who were forced from their homes over the next several decades after occupation have formed resistance against Israel.

There are millions of Palestinian refugees.

You need to address the occupation of Arab lands by Israel, the refugee issue and free the prisoners that are held in Israel in contradiction of international law.

Where are your grandparents from If I may ask.

2006-08-04T17:35:00.000+03:00

Laci,

I'm not sure I understand what you're insinuating.

I don't need "inside information" to know that Iran plans to annihilate Israel. Plain and simple. Their leader publicly and repeatedly claims so.
Iran is proud of their sponsorship of Hizballah, who were formed with the sole intention of "exporting the shi'ite revolution".
These are not "secret" claims. If you research the history of the Islamist revolution in Iran in the late 1970's and the formation of Hizballah in 1982 you will see these facts are true.

I don't see why stating this makes me a hypocrite.

Yours,
lewis.

2006-08-04T17:14:00.000+03:00

Oh, Lewis,

How can be such a hypocrite? You're quoting only half a truth of all this outrage that's going on now in the Middle East. You're simply missing the point. The kernel of the whole thing is elsewhere. Maybe you are, quite understandably, biased or simply have no real will to take a deeper look inside. You must have a much better insight in this matter than merely having the capacity of citing commonplaces instead of trying to understand this particularly complicated story. Good grief, Lewis. You must be kidding! Please, mail me in private if you don't intend to make your REAL point in public.
Warm regards,

Hi Zena,
The other day I saw a guy here in New York posting I heart (the symbol) Beirut stickers all over the place. I asked him for some. He said he had seen others around New York and just decided to make them himself. Of course it doesn't help the concrete situation, but at the same time it gave me a weird sense of hope. There are people here who are speaking out & fighting for an end to the violence & aggression...it is hard to maintain hope (I'm speaking for myself here) living in the U.S. but i guess it is essential. Been reading you since you started writing, and am in awe of your ability to communicate & maintain some sense of sanity in this madness.
With respect & deep thanks,
j

2006-08-04T15:34:00.000+03:00

Hi Zena,
I'm an Israeli student, about your age.
I too believe in love.
I too believe in peace.
I too have been recently married and hope for a better future for my children.
And yours, too.
But you must try and understand a few points.

Contrary to popular belief, the aim of Israel is not to destroy Lebanon.
Our aim is to enable a normal and safe life for our citizens. 500,000 Israelis have been displaced since the beginning of hostilities. We just don't call them "refugees" here in Israel. Us Jews are used to being persecuted. 100 Israelis have been killed during the weeks of fighting.

Only 60 years ago, a genocide of Jews was planned and exectued in Europe.
And during the past years - we're seeing the same nightmare materialize reight before our eyes.
Iran and Hizballah don't ever want peace with me, and have said so many times - they say they will only use ceasefires as times for building up weapons until my ultimate destruction.
How would you feel if a leader of a huge country with 70 million people would openly, again and again, call for your COMPLETE ANNIHILATION.
Yes, I'm talking about Iran.
And their most potent weapon - Hizballah - sits right on the border of our country.
Israel copmletely left every inch of Lebanese country, six years ago. UN decision 1559 states so clearly.
But that was not enough for Hizballah and Iran - who of course used the ceasefire to build up their arms, as they openly stated. They used a bunch of lame excuses (Lebanese "prisoners"? These are people who were convited of cold-blooded murder of children and women! We have every right to keep them in jail. Sheba farms? The UN clearly stated that they are not part of Lebanon)

Zena, I am deeply saddened by reading your blog.
I am genuinely pained by civilian causalties on both sides, Lebanese and Israeli.

I too wish and strive for peace.

Unfortunately, the peddlers of hate (Iran and Hizballah) in our region has gotten to all of us.
Israel as the one and only country of the Jewish people has no choice but to defend itself.
When the hating will stop, peace can be achieved.

Dear Zena,
Beirut ist in Schutt und Asche
Beirut wird nicht sterben
Thank you for your wonderful blog and words. Since the madness began, I am deeply saddened and cry a lot. When I woke up this morning, I right away thought about you and the Lebanese people.
Please let me know, how I can help.
My pledge: I will donate every month to ICRC in Beirut (Mr. Hicham Hassan). Together we will build a new beautiful city which I visited from Germany in 1965.
Love and peace.

I hope you can continue reaching out to the world with your words, your art, and your hope. I am an American living in Istanbul and I send you love, hope, and support from Turkey. Keep writing. You're doing more than you know.

You words touch my heart. Unfortunately the world leaders decide when it's time for a war, when it's time to kill civilians. No matter of what nationally or religious we are.
My deep sorrow for another generation without future and peace.

Dear Zena,

I have been reading your blog every day, it feels as if I am in Beirut, seeing it through your eyes. I lived in Beirut shortly, ten years ago, helped building it up. I visited it last Christmas, I saw how beautiful it had become, once again. My boyfriend, who was there for the first time, was amazed by the positive athmosphere all around us. I told him it was because of the war. How people that have survived tend to have enormous strength in life. But now, war again. I am so upset, I am feeling it with you. Also a 30 year old female, but in the safety of an office in Amsterdam. Please keep blogging. It is great to see how strong you are, but do keep safe. And strong. And let all of us around the world know if there is anything that we can do!

Love, Alet in Amsterdam

well said
QUEEN NOOR: I also believe that previous administrations, because of their direct engagement with and many of them attempted to be far more balanced in their approach to both sides of the story, because both sides have stories of tragedy, of fear, of generations that have built up a great deal of distrust and anger, and I think there is one example, which is, because I keep going back, as so many others do, to believing that the heart of this problem is the Arab, the larger Arab-Israeli conflict which started in 1948 with the expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from their homes, as the state of Israel was created. Those refugees have never been addressed properly, nor the ones that were forced from their homes over the next several decades, '67. There are now six million outside. So the annexation of, the occupation and annexation of Arab lands by Israel, the refugee issue and the prisoners that are held in contravention of international law --

KING: You're therefore blaming Israel for this?

QUEEN NOOR: I'm saying that those are issues that lay, are the root cause and what the militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, who also have political roles, were elected in legitimate elections in their communities, in Palestinian territories and in Lebanon, what drives the militancy and what would sap all the energy and justification for this militancy, would be a resolution of those core issues, that are a driving force of the militants.

Dear Zena

Thank you so much for your honesty, courage and your beautiful blog. In fact your blog inspired me to create my own - I live in the UK and am appalled by what is happening to your country and your people - I began my blog in protest to this war and have written to the Prime Minister and my local Member of Parliment. Tomorrow we will march in central London in protest to this unjust war. I know that Israel are bombing just outside of Beirut now - I am praying for the safety of you and your family.
Peace and love,

Auschwitz council: Stop the war
By JPOST.COM STAFF WARSAW

Survivors of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz appealed Thursday for peace in the Middle East, saying the fighting creates hate and "threatens humanity."

The International Auschwitz Council, which includes Holocaust survivors, scholars and religious leaders, appealed to international leaders to launch peace initiatives, "insignificant though they may appear to be, with the view to overcome the hateful antagonisms while promoting dialogue and cooperation."

The IAF began bombing Lebanon on July 12 after Hizbullah guerillas crossed over the border and killed eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapped two others.

"The war in the Middle East kills people, destroys their homes, roads and bridges, as well as their hopes for normal life and development," the council said in a statement. "It awakens despair and hate ... and threatens humanity."

"Promoting Peace

IPPNW strongly supports United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan's call for an immediate Middle East ceasefire

Appeal to Kofi Annan
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,

The ongoing deadly conflict between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon has resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives and a serious humanitarian crisis.

International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War fully supports your call for an immediate cease-fire on humanitarian grounds, and believes that the cease-fire will need to be maintained by a United Nations international force, deployed in a buffer zone between Lebanon and Israel.

The longer a cease-fire is delayed, the greater the loss of life and more massive the destruction of human habitation and infrastructure. Continued fighting also increases the danger of escalation into a wider war in a volatile region where nuclear arms exist. It is a wake-up call for the revival of nuclear disarmament and the establishment of a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle East.

Only peaceful negotiations, based on a genuine desire for peace and justice, will resolve this humanitarian crisis and the underlying Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Negotiations can only begin after a cease-fire is in force.

Yours sincerely,

Ron McCoy and Gunnar Westberg Co-Presidents, IPPNW"

Dear Zena, I write to you from New Jersey. My heart aches over what is going on in Lebanon. My tears kept coming down as I read your blog. We are writing to our government. We are forwarding emails to everyone to do something to stop this madness. We pray that this will all stop. But we feel helpless. Don't give up hope. You will survive. Lebanon will survive.
