this post reads:

 At first,
One was counting days in prison, for the day he gets out.
One was counting his weapons and rockets and how many enemies he could kill.
One was counting his days in exile, for the day he returns to become president.
One was counting his moneys, hoping to multiply his dollars.

Now, they struck alliances and became...
One counting down to know the truth.
One counting how many days he's been in the street.

As for me... since, and because of them,
I'm counting my days abroad.

Illusions / delusions of Being.


powered by ODEO
music: Btetlouj el Deni / Fairouz

- What do you mean defensive?
- Defensive. I mean you, everything about you; the way you act, the way you talk.
Fuck man, the way you defend your projects. You talk about your architecture like it is your soul, your baby… You defend it fiercely.
...

- That’s… That’s how I was brought up.
- What! They taught you to become defensive, and act like an ass all the time?
- No, but for as long as I can remember, and for every day of my life, I had to defend what was mine...

Starting with my country, my independence, my freedom, my safety, my reputation, my happiness, my love…
...
My very own reason of being!

1701 Balloons. [Truth or Paranoia]



A little while ago, we heard about a possible breach of UN resolution 1701 in southern Lebanon. More specifically, in the southern village of Nabatieh.

It was reported that "Balloons drifting from Israel into southern Lebanon sparked a panic among villagers over the weekend amid rumors they were filled with poison gas".

After finding the balloons in his backyard, a villager and his family manifested symptoms of poisoning and were treated as such at the hospital. The reporter covering the incident, also showed the same symptoms, and in her turn, was treated at the hospital.

Could it be real? Could it be pure paranoia generated by the Hebrew typography found on the colorful balloons?

Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV, claimed the balloons contained toxic gas and had been dropped by Israeli military aircraft, while Dr. Suleiman, an intensive care doctor at the hospital, said that although the patients complained of symptoms that are consistent with exposure to toxic gases, blood and urine tests did not reveal exposure to such gases.

"We have no explanation for it"

"Reports that balloons with Hebrew letters had popped up around Lebanon continued Monday, with one TV station reporting that balloons had appeared in Beirut. The report could not be immediately confirmed"

"The Israeli daily Haaretz reported Sunday that helium balloons from a promotional event by Ha'ir, a chain of local newspapers, had floated north over the border into Lebanon.
Still, their appearance spread alarm among Lebanese — a sign of the tensions and suspicion that remain in the border region after last summer's war between Israel and Hezbollah that devastated much of the south.

Here's my suggestion:
Erect another giant wall with sensors, lasers and such. Then issue passports for birds of all kinds. A Hassoun [local bird known for its beautiful colors and "voice"] can not eat from a tree in Northern Israel, and then cross the border to South Lebanon without being searched... and I mean cavity search.

What insolence!
