ما تخافي يا ماما
في حديقة الصّنائع في بيروت، حيث النّازحون ينامون في العراء، يجلس أطفالٌ في فيء شجرة، يرسمون طائراتٍ سوداء وقذائف.
في حديقة الصّنائع في بيروت، يركلون كرةً ويلعبون "اللّقيطة"، كي ينتقموا من الذّباب الذي يتآكلهم ليلاً.
في حديقة الصّنائع، صبيّ صغير رصدته الكاميرا. يصمت. يشيح النّظر. ينظر ثانيةً. ثمّ يتكلّم بخجل.
- وين الماما؟
- هونيك. عم تبكي.
- ليش عم تبكي؟
- لأنّو الطّيارات قصفت البيت. بيتنا وقع...
يطأطىء رأسه نحو الأرض ويضيف: "هي مفكرة إنو بطّل عنّا بيت."
ثمّ يدّس يده في جيبه، يخرج شيئاً، ويعلن بانتصار:- بس أنا قلتلها ما تخاف... أكيد رح نرجع عالبيت. أنا جبت معي المفاتيح. حتّى شوفي!

- The Independent
They wrote the names of the dead children on their plastic shrouds.
"Mehdi Hashem, aged seven - Qana," was written in felt pen on the bag in which the little boy's body lay.
"Hussein al-Mohamed, aged 12 - Qana"
"Abbas al-Shalhoub, aged one - Qana." And when the Lebanese soldier went to pick up Abbas's little body, it bounced on his shoulder as the boy might have done on his father's shoulder on Saturday. In all, there were 56 corpses brought to the Tyre government hospital and other surgeries, and 34 of them were children. When they ran out of plastic bags, they wrapped the small corpses in carpets. Their hair was matted with dust, most had blood running from their noses.
You must have a heart of stone not to feel the outrage that those of us watching this experienced yesterday. This slaughter was an obscenity, an atrocity-yes, if the Israeli air force truly bombs with the "pinpoint accuracy" it claims, this was also a war crime. Israel claimed that missiles had been fired by Hizbollah gunmen from the south Lebanese town of Qana-as if that justified this massacre. Israel's Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, talked about "Muslim terror" threatening " western civilisation" -as if the Hizbollah had killed all these poor people.
And in Qana, of all places. For only 10 years ago, this was the scene of another Israeli massacre, the slaughter of 106 Lebanese refugees by an Israeli artillery battery as they sheltered in a UN base in the town. More than half of those 106 were children. Israel later said it had no live-time pilotless photo-reconnaissance aircraft over the scene of that killing-a statement that turned out to be untrue when The Independent discovered videotape showing just such an aircraft over the burning camp. It is as if Qana-whose inhabitants claim that this was the village in which Jesus turned water into wine-as been damned by the world, doomed forever to receive tragedy. And there was no doubt of the missile which killed all those children yesterday. It came from the United States, and upon a fragment of it was written: "For use on MK-84 Guided Bomb BSU-37-B". No doubt the manufacturers can call it "combat-proven" because it destroyed the entire three-storey house in which the Shalhoub and Hashim families lived. They had taken refuge in the basement from an enormous Israeli bombardment, and that is where most of them died.
I found Nejwah Shalhoub lying in the government hospital in Tyre, her jaw and face bandaged like Robespierre's before his execution. She did not weep, nor did she scream, although the pain was written on her face. Her brother Taisir, who was 46, had been killed. So had her sister Najla. So had her little niece Zeinab, who was just six. "We were in the basement hiding when the bomb exploded at one o'clock in the morning," she said. "What in the name of God have we done to deserve this? So many of the dead are children, the old, women. Some of the children were still awake and playing. Why does the world do this to us?"
Yesterday's deaths brought to more than 500 the total civilian dead in Lebanon since Israel's air, sea and land bombardment of the country began on 12 July after Hizbollah members crossed the frontier wire, killed three Israeli soldiers and captured two others. But yesterday's slaughter ended more than a year of mutual antagonism within the Lebanese government as pro-American and pro-Syrian politicians denounced what they described as "an ugly crime".
Thousands of protesters attacked the largest United Nations building in Beirut, screaming: "Destroy Tel Aviv, destroy Tel Aviv," and Lebanon's Prime Minister, the normally unflappable Fouad Siniora, called US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and ordered her to cancel her imminent peace-making trip to Beirut.
No one in this country can forget how President George Bush, Ms Rice, and Tony Blair have repeatedly refused to call for an immediate ceasefire - a truce that would have saved all those lives yesterday. Ms Rice would say only: "We want a ceasefire as soon as possible," a remark followed by an Israeli announcement that it intended to maintain its bombardment of Lebanon for at least another two weeks.
Throughout the day, Qana villagers and civil defence workers dug through the ruins of the building with spades and with their hands, tearing at the muck until they found one body after another still dressed in colourful clothes. In one section of the rubble, they found what was left of a single room with 18 bodies inside. Twelve of the dead were women. All across southern Lebanon now, you find scenes like this, not so grotesque in scale, perhaps, but just as terrible, for the people of these villages are terrified to leave and terrified to stay.
The Israelis had dropped leaflets over Qana, ordering its people to leave their homes. Yet twice now since Israel's onslaught began, the Israelis have ordered villagers to leave their houses and then attacked them with aircraft as they obeyed the Israeli instructions and fled. There are at least 3,000 Shia Muslims trapped in villages between Qlaya and Aiteroun- close to the scene of Israel's last military incursion at Bint Jbeil -and yet none of them can leave without fear of dying on the roads.
And Mr Olmert's reaction? After expressing his "great sorrow", he announced that: "We will not stop this battle, despite the difficult incidents this morning. We will continue the activity, and if necessary it will be broadened without hesitation." But how much further can it be broadened? Lebanon's infrastructure is being steadily torn to pieces, its villages razed, its people more and more terrorised - and terror is the word they used - by Israel's American-made fighter bombers. Hizbollah's missiles are Iranian-made, and it was Hizbollah that started this war with its illegal and provocative raid across the border. But Israel's savagery against the civilian population has deeply shocked not only the Western diplomats who have remained in Beirut, but hundreds of humanitarian workers from the Red Cross and major aid agencies.
Incredibly, Israel yesterday denied safe passage to a UN World Food Programme aid convoy en route to the south, a six-truck mission that should have taken relief supplies to the south-eastern town of Marjayoun. More than three quarters of a million Lebanese have now fled their homes, but there is still no accurate figure for the total number still trapped in the south. Khalil Shalhoub, who survived amid the wreckage in Qana yesterday, said that his family and the Hashims were just too "terrified" to take the road out of the village, which has been attacked by aircraft for more than two weeks. The seven-mile highway between Qana and Tyre is littered with civilian homes in ruins and burnt-out family cars. On Thursday, the Israeli Army's Al-Mashriq radio, which broadcasts into southern Lebanon, told residents that their villages would be "totally destroyed" if missiles were fired from them. But anyone who has watched Israel's bombing these past two weeks knows that, in many cases, the Israelis do not know the location in which the Hizbollah are firing missiles, and - when they do - they frequently miss their targets. How can a villager prevent the Hizbollah from firing rockets from his street? The Hizbollah do take cover beside civilian houses just as Israeli troops entering Bint Jbeil last week also used civilian homes for cover. But can this be the excuse for slaughter on such a scale?
Mr Siniora addressed foreign diplomats in Beirut yesterday, telling them that the government in Beirut was now only demanding an immediate ceasefire and was not interested any longer in a political package to go with it. Needless to say, Mr Jeffrey Feltman, whose country made the bomb which killed the innocents of Qana yesterday, chose not to attend.
Message from Lebanon!!!
J'ai trouvé ce passage dans un autre blog libanais
Israel proved it again; the forces of Armageddon took over the forces of God. They came, flew over our heads, targeted our bridges, violated our privacy and killed; they killed those who never killed a cat, they killed our children. In 1996, Israel bombarded UN base in Qana and killed tens of innocent people that looked for shelter.
Back then, it was considered as a strategic mistake and Israel stopped its attack. Now, ten years later, Israel is proving to the whole world that, what was a strategic mistake ten years ago, is now a phase in a pseudo-unstoppable attack. Qana is back.
The "brave" Israeli soldiers killed 37 children. We say "brave" because killing a child is hard; when u think of those innocent helpless faces wishing only to eat play and sleep, killing inoffensive children becomes a hard target. To kill a child you should be heartless, and being heartless is an excellent quality of a brave soldier. Brave soldiers are those who act with no regret, killing is an act of no coming back, thus an act of no regret. They killed the children of Lebanon, the "Lebanon", the small but huge country, the country of trade and goods, the country of tourism and leisure, the gate to the middle east, the cradle of civilization.
Killing children in our society is not an act of bravery, killing women is no act of manhood, killing elders is out of our ethics.
We say to Israel, you will never kill us, you cannot frighten us, you will never conquer us, you will always be looked down-on as cowards. Leave your planes and weapons, and like in the old times, fight like men. Body to body, spear to spear, shield to shield; then, only then you will realize how weak you are. But you will never take that risk, you will never jeopardize your souls, you are a bunch of cowards. A clay footed giant...
Every child you killed is a curse upon your heads; every curse is an enemy you made. Like for the battle between heaven and hell we say that men are the ones who created evil on earth it is the choices they make that enslaved their souls forever, life is the test and you failed.
As for us, people of Lebanon, we are asked to stay united, to free our souls from hatred, to forgive our mutual mistakes, to forget our minor differences and always remember that we are Lebanese… and only Lebanese. Together we stand, divided we fall.
loubnan sayabka! Lebanon will stay
non seulement il restera mais en plus il vaincra!
A l'heure de ce carnage et de cette guerre aveugle qui s'est abbatue sur nous, nous tenons à affirmer, à répeter que le Liban, par la force de ses citoyens, de sa résitance se lévera plus fort et plus déterminé que jamais!
Pour le Liban, nous résistons! Samidoune
Voilà 21 jours déjà que le Liban, son peuple, et surtout ses enfants subissent de plein fouet une attaque des plus sanglantes, des plus meurtrières…
Jamais dans l’histoire de tous les conflits, récents comme anciens, la communauté Internationale n’a mis autant de temps pour parvenir, du moins formellement, à un cessez le feu.
L’ONU, présentée comme la voix des sans voix à la fin de la 2e GM, gardienne de la paix dans le monde, paraît inerte…elle est devenue elle même une sans voix, victime de son excès de zèle et de sa soumission à une bande d’illuminés qui dirigent la plus grande puissance de ce monde !!!
Sa voix, si jamais elle s’exprime, ne parvient même pas à dépasser le mur du silence qui hante et qui hantera pour toujours sa tour de verre… et de honte…
Les enfants tués, ceux qui seront tués dans les jours avenirs, ne pourront jamais pardonner ce silence pesant qui a conduit à leurs morts sans aucune raison. Ils hanteront à jamais nos esprits, nos jours et nuits. Nous les garderons dans nos mémoires, et jamais, o que jamais, nous ne les oublieront… comment peut-on oublier ces jeunes enfants qui, hier encore remplissaient notre pays de joie et de bonheur, comment pourrait on oublier leurs sourires innocents, leurs rêves (comme celui des gens qui les ont précédés) d’un Liban meilleur. D’un Liban vert, d’un liban joyeux, regardant l’avenir mais sans jamais oublier son passé glorieux par ses citoyens, macabres par les actions des barbares qui l’entourent…
Triste journée que de voir le pays des cèdres de Dieu en ce début août… pauvre Liban, tu es, tu étais et tu seras toujours victime de ta différence, de ta grandeur, de ta splendeur…
O mon liban,
On cherche une nouvelle fois à t’asphyxier en assassinant ta seule richesse, ta seule fierté, ton seul atout… tes enfants !!!!!
Mais sois sure, tes enfants, malgré la barbarie de l’ennemi et l’indifférence des amis, ne t’abandonneront jamais. Ils vivront ou mourront à tes cotés… Pour eux, la vie dans toute sa splendeur n’a ni goût ni saveur…
N’est pas peur mon liban, le jour viendra ou tu te lèveras, tu t’en sortiras de ce combat macabre plus fort, plus déterminé que jamais.
Qu’ils sont cons ces israéliens ! qu’ils sont cons ces américains ! qu’ils sont lâches ces arabes !!!!!
En 1982, ils ont essayé de te détruire et c’est la génération 68 qui étais là pou leur faire face… en 1996, ils ont fait de même et c’est la génération 1982 qui étais là pour te défendre…. En 2006, ils essaient de nouveaux de te détruire et c’est la génération Qana 1996 qui, nchala, les vaincra !!!
Qu’ils sont cons ces israéliens ! Qu’ils sont haineux ! tous les 10 ans, ils s’acharnent sur toi et tous les 10 ans c’est la génération de leur dernier acharnement qui se lèvent, tel ton cèdre, pour te défendre.
Nous te défendrons jusqu’au dernier souffle, car sans toi, sans le sourire et les cris de tes enfants qui remplissent chacune de tes petites ruelles, la vie, toute la vie n’a vraiment aucun sens pour nous !!!!
Alors lève-toi !
la liste des terroristes!!!!
