Those who have died but their passion to their country, the "Switzerland of the Region", never did. What would Gebran Khalil Gebran, Maroun Naccashe, Michael Neaameh, Edmund Safra, Elia Abu Madi...say to "those uncivilized non-Lebanese" of Today who praise the idea that "Jews are concentrated in one place instead of chasing them around the World"? Until the True-first-Democracy-and-only-multicultural-state amid its environement i.e. our beloved Lebanon is back-to-normal, I congratulate first Mrs. Nonoo from Bahrain for her qualitifiactions and her new assignement wishing her all the best. My congratulation to Bahrain for naming a Jewish-woman-ambassador to USA and which gives a hope for equality, openness, fairness and respect for the People of the Arab World. To Huda Nonoo, I say: Like your beloved country, I'm proud of such a dynamic woman as yourself, too! May God help, protect and overwatch our country, Green-Lebanon, for always Goodness!

I won't really go in depth of analyzing how best Bahrain treats its citizens, but I can only salut their choice, and pray the the remaining 50% of their population obtain representation. But that is not the issue, Lebanon is. I fully agree that we are falling behind. However, let us be realistic, it is up to us to create a safe environment for all our citizen, but it is up to the Jewish Lebanese as well to crack the shell from inside. I do not claim it is easy, or that it will happen in a blink, but sometimes over caution is equal to slow death - I agree, we have gone far behind.
