A country boiling!
I fear the day when Nassrallah will go on TV and say that “if I knew that this will happen, I would not have acted this way!” just like what he said after the summer Israeli war.
A small scuffle in the Arab University of Beirut has exploded into a full fledged riot, which is spreading to several neighboring roads. Black smoke is once again filling Beirut sky. Phones are down, roads are closed and people are panicking…
Wish us luck and let’s hope that this is not the start of our worst nightmare.
I will keep you posted!
Update 1:
Silly blame game! You started it no it is you … It is not the fourth grade anymore… there are two killed already… STOP IT… go home… solve political issues in the proper institutions, the parliament, the government, through dialogue… They are shooting at each others… It is a war zone… JUST LEAVE THE STREETS…
Update 2:
The army ordered a Curefew from 8:30 to 6:00 in the morning in Beirut. I slipped from Beirut just before its start. What a sad day, If I am not wrong, this is the first curfew in Lebanon from many many years…

I am so happy to be able to connect , I have tried several times before I succeeded .There are no phones anymore and I barely made it home safe with kids.
I saw guys in the neighbourhood with black ribbons on their head and big wooden sticks in their hands ready for the great and divine battle !!!! The kids asked me who are they mum?? why the sky is black again?? what should I tell them?? that the civil war has just started and that 23 january was the bus of ain el remeineh in 1975!!!
It is so sad so sad!!! Ya haram ya beirut, a so beautifull city deserves better !!!
For sure Nassrallah will say: oh if I only knew that the strike and us cutting roads will triger the war I wouldn't have asked for the strike .....But let me tell you Bob he knows just like he knew that kidnapping of the 2 soldier will bring us war in july, for sure he knows he is smarter than we think.
And now all the money Sanyoora is getting will be spent on cleaning the road from 23 / 25 january and for the cars that burned and all the damage. And then they will wonder where did the money go and will say he kept it for himself......
Stay safe
and good luck lebanon!!!

Lily,
am sorry that you have to go through this. As a mother too,I don't want my kids to witness this. I am only abroad because I don't want them to have the same nightmares, it was tough growing up under those circumstances and the fear never leaves you.
Good luck to you
BOB and all ,please stay safe.
Noura and family
Lily,
It is strange how you always have to blame the victim.
When israel kidnaps 1000s of Lebanese citizens you don't say anything (HA didn't exist!). When HA captures 2 soldiers to free the remaining Lebanese prisoners, you blame Hezbollah!
When israel starts the most brutal war on us and even admit it had nothing to do with the 2 captured soldiers, you blame Hezbollah!
It is not Nasrallah shooting on civilians it is the pro-government militias, but you blame Hezbollah for the criminal actions of some LF members (not all) and other militias shooting on unarmed civilians!
But again just the fact that you focus on HA shows your frame of mind.
Ok, you are saying that Nasrallah is smart (everybody knew that) and that it is a trap (I consider this a conspiracy theory) then let me ask you this: why are the pro-government militias falling in it by shooting on unarmed civilians?
See you can not blame some for the actions of others it just doesn't work. If a beautiful woman is raped, are you going to blame her for being beautiful or are you going to blame the rapist for his actions?
When all is said and done it is the government in power that is responsible for the situation in a country not the people expressing their anger at it.
Bob, I agree with you on your conclusion: everybody JUST LEAVE THE STREETS.
Ya Sam
Khalas ayeb!! We have people from bith sides killed by gunfire! Your holier than thou opposition and Hezbollah have killed at least three 14 March on Tuesday. Or maybe you think that we are shooting our own people!!!
Stop the blame game. we are both in this togther and we share the balme and responsibility!
Stay safe everybody
Bob,
The guys from the march 14 were killed by the al amn el aam not the opposition. Haram my heart is torn when anyone dies whatever his political side but we have to make clear in what circomstance this happened.
Allah y'seed ahlon, ya haram!
Bob,
No matter what Nasrallah said, it is too late for words; blood calls for more blood.
One interesting fact; if I recall from the last war, all those who started it did not live to finish it. All of them. This current crop of leaders will follow their forebearers to their doom.
And the lucky among us will follow our cousins and brothers in exile, bulding elsewhere a truer Lebanon.
Bob:
Good luck.
I am very worried about what I'm seeing. And, whoever started it, I have a hunch that the bad guys stand to win this one. I'm very, very sad for you.
Be careful, and stay safe.
Yes Noura I remember those days. I grew up under the same circumstances and I thought that I forgot ,I thought that it was over, but it is all coming back to me , I am actually living it again and if this continues I am leaving because of my kids .
But I my heart will stay here since it is the only place that I want to live and die, I adore Lebanon and Beirut in particular and I just can’t imagine myself anywhere else!!!
It is so painful to see your city burning and feeling helpless. All I can do is hide and watch!
My thoughts tonight are for those poor mums that lost their sons for no reason.
I just hope this is the end of a phase in the history of Lebanon not the start of a new phase!
Good luck all and stay safe.

I'll respond to your questions another day, today my heart is bleeding and my eyes are in tears there is no place for any talk.
Lily
Bob,
Are insults allowed on this blog?
To Anonymous,
Hezbollah never attacked israel in the last 6 years except in immediate retaliation to an israeli attack.
However it did attack israeli soldiers on occupied land, that's different.
If you think that we are going to forget about your occupation of our land you will see how wrong you are.
Sam
Of course no. By now, you should know me better than that!
But it seems that you visit my blog more than I do, maybe I should make you a co-administrator :)
