Great videos. thanks for the translation. What a fascinating trip — two trips to Beirut. You do such excellent work. I am enjoying this immensely. And I have to say this – girl, you got balls !!
I don;'t speak Hebrew but just listening, you speak like a person with total, flawless fluency.
Thanks for your great contribution.

Now I see why all of you lust after that Zvi dude, seriously cute!!!!
Ditto on the excellent Hebrew, especially in the second interview.
I actually wrote a response to the Daily Star about their original article – and especially my disappointment that they not focus on how depressing it is that in Lebanon, a country which wants to move forward, that interviewee was so scared of repercussions that he retracted his whole interview. I also pointed out that by beating that false drum and saying you had endangered him, they were in fact endangering him more by using him to prove a point.
I'll happily write more directly to the editor if you like, and I would encourage anyone else too – especially Lebanese.
And how typicall that the article was written by a foreigner in Lebanon, it is the “activist” types who seem to be the most obsessive, without the excuse of growing up in a paranoid atmosphere.

Hey Lisoosh -
Re. Zvi: so now you can join the Noorster-Lisa fan club.
Re. the Hebrew: Chen chen.
Re. the Daily Star: I'd be really grateful if you would write to the editor, and I extend the request to anyone else who is as revolted by the Star's article as I am.
Just FYI, a Palestinian-Lebanese journalist who worked with Rinat in Lebanon, and who knows Nour personally, has written a long letter of protest to the editor of the Star. He reiterates my point about the Arab media having free access to Israel, and rakes the so-called professors of journalism over the coals for declaring their support of limiting press freedom. I've read the letter, and it rocks. If I can get Rinat's permission, I'll publish it in this thread.

Will write, and would love to read the guys letter. The more the merrier I think.
Also wanted to say that I found the bartender talking about the “Jewish book” and planned expansion just incredibly sad. It is a perfect example of how desparately important communication across that border really is.

lisoosh – you're absolutely right about the importance of communications. I've encountered those same claims about “Israel's plans to expand from the Prath to the Hidekel” in discussions with Arabs on the Internet. Apparently, this is a common belief. I'm sure there are also Israeli misconceptions about the Arabs. Communications across the border are the only solution.

Shuv, kol hakavod.
All the more for maintaining your sweet cool w these two so-called interviewers. They appeared to be Tweedledee and Tweedledum, those fictional characters in Lewis Carroll's “Through the Looking-Glass” and in other tales. Like Carroll's characters, these look-alikes (tie, jacket, hairstyle, glasses, paunch, shirt, age) never contradicted each other; instead, they both uttered the most vacuous comments and blandest questions. Oh, yeah — it must have been the cleavage that affected their brains.
At least Mister Cutie Pie got to say a few meaningful words at the closing. And the footage (yours, I reckon) was so interesting. Thank you!
