They indirectly intervened to cancel the events of Nakba week, and interestingly enough the event at Townhouse gallery (which I live very close to) was ignored by them because it doesn't have much of a popular Egyptian crowd that frequents it. This is the same Egyptian state that likes to delude itself that it achieved a glorious victory over Israel in 1973 (and then went promptly and made "peace" in 1978). AUC professor Jalal Amin the other day said that in his daughter's junior high school exam around that time, all the questions in the Arabic comprehension section had sentences about the gloriousness of peace in it.

Why aren't there any posts on the clashes in Lebanon? There's gunshots and RPGs all over the place. Nasrallah declared war..
What's there to say?
Technically, he didn't declare war. He stated that the government declared war. At this point, I think it's a struggle just to find the truth in anything.
Most of the Western media is anti-Hizballah; all of the Lebanese media is strongly partisan one way or the other and unable to separate the news from the editorial; and most of the Lebanese bloggers are privileged folk (i.e., not really experiencing what most Lebanese experience) who identify with M14 and provide an unambiguously biased assesment (anyway, there is no more annoying, illogical person in this world than the Lebanese M14-er; even though I disagree with my opposition friends, at least they listen and speak with rational principles).
most of the Lebanese bloggers... identify with M14

not
quite
all
of them
though the privelege thing, ok, i'll concede that.
and most of the Palestinian bloggers are privileged folk (i.e., not really experiencing what most Palestinians experience)

""Most of the Western media is anti-Hizballah""
Is there any good reason not to be anti-Hezbollah? Do you consider their aims to be legitimate? If so, why?
