STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought i was doing ok. i thought i was taking it well. a few outburst here and there but then i picked myself up and moved on. but i cant breath anymore i'm physically ill. I'm at work and i cant work. i cant think i cant talk. bombing dead civilians fire destruction is all i read. my heart is skipping beats regularly. i havent slept for days.

my point is, this is me, sheltered in boston in an airconditioned room, fed and warm and comfortable. and every time i think of my people back home i get physically sick. people are being massacred. no food. no shelter. constant bombardment. like from a horror movie.

please, someone do something. this is wrong. this is wrong. how can anybody not see it.

help, anyone.

Mononoke,

I stopped work for the next couple of weeks.
I've started coordinating with various relief agencies here. Attending rallies. Getting humanitarian aid organized and looking at the post-genocide reconstruction. Cleaning the streets. Getting qualified engineers and architects to contribute their services. etc... etc... etc....

I too feel physically ill. I haven't cried yet. I shed a tear at one of the demonstrations we had when the police came to drive us away. We all started singing the national anthem. Everyone shed a tear.

I also shed a tear with Saniora's speech.

But I haven't cried. The day that happens is the day I surrender to them. I will never surrender.

Stay strong Mononoke. There is hope yet.

Ya 7abibte,

I am having a very hard time doing any work as well, and if you check the spymeters you'll seem me all over the place. It's only a matter of time before I get fired hehe. I hope your rally goes peacefully today, and be strong!

habibeh Mononoke,
what you're doing so far is just great: organizing this protest, not to mention keeping on writing & denouncing despite everything. w ba3dein, sometimes, working from outside can do far more good than being stuck here. trust me. so stay strong & write write, 7atta ana hon dal strong kamein. *bosat w tafa3ees*

i cried today. i haven't cried, really cried, in 2 years. i cried because i was subjected to an assault by another 'lebanese', right here where i've only been for a month, with screams and a huge scene and fingers pointing in the street when i mentioned the word 'peace rally'. she didn't want peace if HA continued to exist. she said let the whole country be bombed to death then. i told her the rally is apolitical, areligious, and purely humanitarian. so she screamed some more, with a few others too.
i cried because there was no hope of 'united we stand'.
after i cried my heart out, i thought. fuck, damned if i'm leaving my country in the hands of people like her, this bitch!
so don't give up; it's us as 'rational', non-racist, non-sectarian lebanese that can do it. noone else will.

Girl...It's sad how we feel physically or mentally ill cause we're suffering from our own ordeal.

It sucks, innocent people pay cause Nasrallah or Bush or Sharon or whoever argued. I can't believe how our fairest case can be handed to the worst lawyers.

Sad, isn't it?

I feel just the same....having quite nights while knowing my family and my people are not just kills me.
I feel I'm helpless, and insignificant....I'm so drained....so tired of just following the news....and hearing about the killings....
is there a stop soon?
