Israeli blogger Lisa Goldman in Beirut!
The news came as a shock to some audiences: A Zionist agent roaming the streets of Beirut after successfully penetrating airport security! Down with the government!
It is a shame some people cannot make a distinction between politics and everyday life. I could have chosen to write this post on another day, but on the 1st anniversary of the July 2006 war, I – probably naively – prefer to salute a peaceful gesture, denoting normalcy (something that both Lebanese and Israelis crave for) rather than celebrate wars, victories, death or destruction.
It is time that we, in Lebanon, review some of our meaningless legislations, such as the one banning Israelis or people with Israeli stamps on their passport from entering the country. Do they seriously think that this is the best way to prevent Mossad agents from operating in the country? And if this law isn’t that effective in protecting us from the Mossad, what is it protecting us from? Israeli bloggers?
Lisa, just as you mentioned in your blog, "extremists always have the loudest voice". Those of us with a much more modest voice would like to tell you: Ahla w sahla! (As long as you don’t come in your olive-green uniform)
