after reaching a kind of ceasefire, israel and HA are both not hesitant in declaring their own victory, i ask myself who the real winner is in this disgusting war?!...
on the lebanese side: 1,100 dead, a million displaced, 3,700 injured, plus the israeli army back again on lebanese territory. may i ask what facts of the above indicates a victory?
and as for israel, i guess they never dreamed of being fought back that hard. to me their operation in lebanon seems totally useless, it did in the beginning and it does now even more. a month of fighting, killing, destruction - for nothing!
to me there is no winner. and no looser.
but there is us, the lebanese people, whose lives were turned upside down from one day to the other. who now have to live with shortage in gasoline, electricity, medicine, whose nerves are wrecked and whose future is uncertain in a lot of cases.
plus, as i already said before, i don't totally trust this truce. i will return to lebanon with the awareness that the possibility of war is always present at anytime.
a very stressful way to live, if you ask me.
