This is Beirut

This is Beirut is designed to give voice to the millions of Lebanese who are suffering while the world sits silently. We are not interested in propagating hatred. We want the world to witness through the eyes of Lebanese citizens the destruction and the suffering that has been brought on in the name of defense. If you have a story, poem or letter to share, please email amyabdou@gmail.com We will work together to end this violence.

Angry Beirut protests greet Blair

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair visits Lebanon and sparks angry protests against his visit. Click through for full story, including video footage of the protest. Aggrieved at what they see as the UK's pro-Israel bias, several protesters disrupted a news conference, shouting, "Shame on you" A British woman registered her disapproval at Mr Blair's foreign policy, sporting a T-shirt with the slogan "ashamed to be British" during a press conference. Seriously, break out the rotton tomatoes.
