As I write these words, the masses are gathering for an anti government demonstration in the center of Beirut. Tanks are guarding PM Fuad Saniora’s offices fearing that the demonstration will get out of control. This is the new climax in the crisis between the Sunni – Christian government and the Hizbullah (+ other pro Syrian groups).
Except following the news on television, radio, papers and online news sites, there are lots of blogs written by well educated Lebanese in excellent English. They share personal experiences, feelings and also a deeper look into the very delicate political situation in Lebanon. I became aware of them during the war this summer, and I’m following them regularly. They don’t delete comments written by Israelis like myself. Readers from Israel usually identified themselves proudly and almost always received serious responses.
The current crisis isn’t related to Israel. But Lebanon is always fascinating…
Of course, there are lots more. Lots of links can be followed from these blogs. I settle for these two.
