The press imposes a self-censorship so as not to suffer the consequences of a corrupt administration that is heavily infiltrated by Shiite Hezbollah operatives who basically dictate all of Lebanon's policies. The figurehead President Michel Suleiman is just that: A former military idiot who is cultivating his own little political farm in the hope - like all his predecessors - of amassing a few millions, building a "palace" in his hometown on day, and retiring comfortably. The only way for him to do this successfully is to be a maid to Hezbollah and to Syria, and he is brilliantly performing his role.
Meanwhile, there has not been a government in nearly 6 months because the Lebanese, in their pathetic little political fights cannot 1) agree on how to divvy up a cabinet, not because they try hard to serve their people, but because each of the fractious parties and blocs are beholden to a foreign country (Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, US, France, etc...) and they play their roles of pawns moved about by these foreign countries on the filthy chessboard called Lebanon. Problem right now is that one of the foreign countries, Syria, is so busy with managing its demise by genociding its own people, that it has not had time to instruct its pawns and puppets in Lebanon (like Aoun the castrated mad general, Hezbollah's Hassan Bigballs Nasrallah, and other Syrianized buffoons), and the Lebanese cannot form a government. Talk of freedom, of sovereignty, of independence.... What a pathetic insignificant little cesspool of a country that has been at war for 50 years, mainly because outsiders are stronger than the will of the corrupt insiders, and Lebanon is basically a rag, a dirty rag, with which the Arab world and the West wipe their asses and flush the toilet at will.
Now, if that was not enough in this headless, aimless fuck of a country, the Lebanese people keep bragging about their freedoms, about their Paris of the Middle East and their Switzerland of the Middle East. But, no more. The Lebanese should wake up to the reality around them. I, as a Lebanese, am more proud of the peoples of Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Syria than I am of being Lebanese because those peoples rose fearlessly to defend their own human rights, while the Lebanese continue to live like dogs in a cage, mistreated by their own little dictators, treated like scum, deprived of any sense of normal life, fearful of the Hezbollah criminals and the Syrian regime behind them, feafrul of their own "security services" (which operate exactly as they do in Iran and Syria, kidnapping, killing, detaining at will, under false claims of "dealing with the enemy" etc.). In fact, the Great Ahbal President Michel Suleiman had 3 young people arrested last year because they criticized him on Facebook.
And now, the latest news of this country of freedoms, ruled as it has become by backward primitive Muslims from the Stone Age, is that the "Security Services" ordered the removal of photos from an international exhibit in Beirut because one of the photographers is an Israeli. This tells you where the priorities of this stupid country are. The country has no government, it has no running water and rations electricity. Cell phones are run by politicians like farms, charging an impoverished population the highest rates found anywhere in the world, the country is infested with radical Islamists who were kicked out of other countries, Palestinian and Shiite terror organizations operate freely, including the Speaker of the so-called Parliament is himself the head of a Shiite terror militia called Amal...
Lebanon needs a revolution like all the other Arab countries. The people of Lebanon should wake up and realize that their ruined nightmarish lives are caused by their social-religious system that perpetuates an incompetent, failed political system. Lebanon is not a country worthy of such a name. Lebanon is a failed federation of warring religious tribes and sects that need a constant slave master to keep things going. The Lebanese cannot govern themselves, as things stand today.
For a brief interlude in the post World War II era, right after independence, when the Christians has the upper hand, they manage to propel Lebanon into prosperity and good living by steering this small finch's asshole of a country away from the cesspool of Arab and Islamic nationalism. But then, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, lebanon's Muslims decided that Islamic Law, the Palestinian issue, and Arab nationalism take precedence over the preservation of a successful division of power and national cohesion. They fought their fellow Lebanese Christians, supported the PLO against them, defeated the Christians and brought down the country and its institutions. With the support of Syria, the Muslims rewrote the Constitution (Taif Agreement) such that the country now had three presidents: One castrated Christian, one Sunni slave to Saudi Arabia, and one Shiite slave to Iran. And it was downhill from there.... This is the Lebanon of today: run by the Muslims, like every other Muslim country: garbage everywhere, rampant corruption, Islamic Law here and there, incompetence, and a general degradation of services.... There is an element of fatalism about Islam that makes its adherents so obsessed with the fucking will of God that they stop doing anything for themselves... and most of these countries live on the edge of barbarity and civilization, without any personal or societal will to take charge of one's own life, one's own environment, one's own fate.... Islam's doctrinal tyranny is such a surrender of personal will that it inevitably leads to a general deterioration of life wherever ISlam happens to take over.
I congratulate the managers of the World Press Photo exhibit for shutting down their exhibit in reaction to the Lebanese Security hoodlums... This should be an example and a message to all international operators (tourism, art, culture....) who intend to have shows and activities in Lebanon not to continue supporting the pro-Syrian, pro-Iranian, pro-terrorist Hezbollah Police State in Lebanon. They should starve the beast. It should also be a message to the Lebanese people that if they don;t do anything about this pro-Syrian pro-Iranian regime of Michel Suleiman, the quality of their lives will continue to decline. Do they want Lebanon to become like Syria or like Iran or like Saudi Arabia? What next: public floggings and stonings?

Show Ends After Lebanon Bars Israeli
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: May 20, 2011
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A World Press Photo exhibit in Beirut closed early after Lebanese authorities ordered the removal of an Israeli photographer’s prize-winning work, an organizer of the exhibit said Friday.A Lebanese security official said the General Security Directorate ordered the organizers to remove the work of Amit Shaal because he is Israeli. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he noted by way of explanation that the two nations were “in a state of war.”
Erik de Kruijf, a World Press project manager, said the organization preferred to close the exhibit 10 days early rather than face censorship.
“For a week it was no problem, and then someone noticed that he is an Israeli photographer,” he said. “We cannot allow censorship of any kind, so that’s why we decided to take everything down.”
The World Press award is one of the industry’s most coveted prizes. Mr. Shaal won third prize in the arts and entertainment category.
His photographs show street scenes in Israel in which he holds up historical photos of the same places to show past and present.
Mr. Shaal said he was surprised by the decision, saying his work was not intended to be political. “It’s an examination of what was once and what is now,” he said. “The viewer can reach his or her own conclusion.”
