While doing some research in the blogosphere on the war in the Middle East I read a couple of blogs (Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon) that give incredibly touching and shocking accounts of what is happening in the Middle East, especially the current events in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon. While browsing through globalvoicesonline I stumbled accross the following screenshot.

At first it makes you want to smile but of course it has a deeper, dead-serious meaning. It visualizes in a techno-metaphorical way what people of Lebanon want: Peace and their country be saved. What politicians and the military [on either side] want is quite obviously a different story…

I can only recomment visiting globalovoicesonline on a regular basis since the news coverage and commentary of blogging citizens in countries around the globe is a very good addition – sometimes supplement – to the reporting of global corpate media.
