   hello,

   I have not been able to follow the news lately as I have moved to Canada (from Lebanon). So thank you for keeping up the blog as I feel it bridges me back to the events of the world.

   Reading this article I will recount a funny incident I was met with 2 weeks ago. I was at a writing class where I wrote a paragraph about war (not any particular one – just human suffeirng during a war)… when suddenly one of the sudents – who knows I am Lebanese – attacks me with the remark that Lebanese, as terrorists, deserved to be bombed because they use civillians as human shields while bombing North Israel!! I was not even writing about Lebanon!! And most definately not about Israel as well… I did mention though it was 1990!! I was so shocked, I found no immediate reply on my mind…

   Do you know Nizo’s Blog? He is of Palestinian or Israeli Arab origin & I believe lives in Montreal. A very nice fellow. Check out his blog. If you live in Montreal you should try to meet him.

   Since the best way to defewnd against such attacks in unavailable at this time, do I understand you are allowing this type shielding?

   It is not as if the IDF is using human shields as a barrier against retaliation during an attack, which it is well documaented that the Arab enemy does.
