Mail d'un ami Libanais
Je viens de recevoir ce mail co d'un ami Libanais, Anthony. Je le copie-colle ici faute de mieux ...
My fellow humans
From the heart
of Beirut.with the sounds of missiles, explosions and people screaming, being
the only background music for the past week.I am writing to you.
Within less than
24 hours.a country that carried the secrets of a wonderful sea, strength of
standing mountains, whispers of wide green trees.was turned upside down.leaving
its appealing nature hiding below a dreadful artificial disaster zone.
The same airport
where we used to land in after every trip abroad..is now closed, bombarded, and
on fire. The same bridges we used cross everyday around the country...the same
streets we used to walk on everyday are now void, empty, risky..or a bunch of
rubble.
This is
my Lebanon. It will always be my Lebanon: A flourishing country with strong,
kind-hearted people that strive to make their dreams come true. Now, they're
only seeing their dreams vanishing infront of their eyes in a matter of days.
I am writing to
you.with a tear in my eye so much wanting to drop...as I see my own country
getting slowly demolished..bit..by bit...day after day..minute after minute. I
only wish, that none of you...really none of you would ever experience this
feeling. We've been expriencing it for the past week and until this
moment..though it isn't new,it is still
overwhelming.
Who
started the conflict? Who's fault is it? This isn't the case. Civilians are
dying on both sides.
And no matter who's fault it
was, no matter what happened...nothing justifies the gradual destruction of a
whole country and paralyzing it from helping its own self. Nothing justifies the
mass murder of citizens fleeing, using forbidden weapons. Nothing justifies
butchering tens of families, new-borns, fathers, and elderlies per hour, hitting
ambulances transporting wounded citizens, massacring a whole nation ruthlessly,
basically destroying my Lebanon, my one and only
nation.
As I see
the thousands of foreigners fleeing,I call upon whoever is in Lebanon and
reading this e-mail: Please be safe. The Israeli war machine is so evil, it does
not make a difference between a civilian, a militant, an animal or a child, a
church or a mosque. But we Lebanese are used to being resistant, strong and
solid...never surrendering even in the most devastating moments. This is exactly
what makes us proud.
They can destroy
our bridges, level our homes, massacare our people..but they can never crush our
strong will to survive, florish and strive. They tried doing that in 1978, 1982,
1993, 1996 and 2000...they failed in each an every attempt. July 2006 is yet
another date for them to fail once again. A date we will make sure they shall
never
forget.
Proud to
be Lebanese;
Anthony Nader Houella
