Lebanon : Human  Rights/Development:

Political crisis set to worsen
Report, The  Electronic Intifada, 13 March 2008

TYRE, Lebanon, 12 March (IPS) - Soon  after the US
destroyer USS Cole was deployed off Lebanon's shore  28
February to "preserve political stability", a group of
young men  gathered around in the embattled agricultural
town Qana in south Lebanon, and  voiced their fears.
"Everyone feels there is a war coming," said  Salman
Ismael, a 22-year-old university student. "Especially
after the  killing of [Hizballah commander] Imad Mughniyeh
and what is happening in  Gaza."

A LETTER FROM A MOTHER IN GAZA TO A  MOTHER IN SDEROT
By Najwa Sheikh, Live from Palestine, 13 March  2008

Dear Rima Haimov, When I read your words the only thing I
can say  is that I feel sorry for your son, and that I can
understand you as a mother  and the traumatic events that
your child is experiencing. I cannot deny the  fact that
life becomes very difficult in such circumstances when  you
realize that you and your family are in danger at any
moment; I fully  understand your worries, your feelings and
concerns. I am addressing this  letter to you with the hope
that you will understand my pain  too.

SALATA BALADI OR AFRANGI?
By Joseph  Massad, The Electronic Intifada, 13 March 2008

Cultural critic Joseph  Massad finds a problematic
political agenda is at the heart of Nadia Kamel's  first
documentary Salata Baladi, in which she mourns the
imagined loss of  a cosmopolitan Cairo, told through the
story of her mother Mary Rosenthal,  a.k.a. Naila Kamel and
her separation from family that left Egypt for Israel.
