Dearest Raida,
Friends everywhere,

A new development we just discovered is that the previous article by
Raida titled
"Lebanon: Day 8
While the world is turning its back and closing its eyes"
http://english-cyprus.indymedia.org/newswire/display/176/index.php

has been going around the world and readers all over are reproducing and
resending it everywhere.

It has been republished on Al Jazeera,
http://www.aljazeerah.info/Opinion%20editorials/2006%20Opinion%20Editorials/July/25%20o/While%20the%20world%20is%20turning%20its%20back%20on%20Lebanon%20and%20closing%20its%20eyes%20By%20Raida%20Hatoum.htm

and on Israel and Italy indymedia.

Also it and has been featured as a major link on top front page of
http://rense.com
under the title
"ISRAELI SAVAGERY
World Turns Its Back, Closes
Eyes On Israeli Slaughter"

Additionally, it was republished by a San Fransisco branch of the
Tribe.net network.

All this explains why both our servers have been brought down to their
knees (again) in these last two days, due to unprecedented numbers of
visitors. And we have more than a hundred Comments by readers under the
article.

In a way it's wonderful to see so much positive response, on the other
had it shows the desperate yearning by so many simple and average people
who desire Peace - there are so many of us in this world, and our quest
still unanswered.

We'll try to keep everone up to date.

I expect that the new article by Raida titled
"Daddy, why did Israel do this to us?"
http://english-cyprus.indymedia.org/

might get the same reception as it begins now to be disseminated. We'll
see how it goes.


Many of us in the world Peace and Justice community are doing our best
to spread the news and to organize protests, mobilizations. But the
political struggle within the US and Israel is difficult. We will keep
on going on.

To all our friends and comrades in Lebanon we say please take heart,
please hold on, please stay safe - we are with you,
Petros
