people on my FB newsfeed complaining that people are complaining about the tricolour flag filter thing - when pointed out that the issue people have is the mediation and corporatisation of attacks and cynical subversion of how we should feel, the reponse seems to be 'yeah well I've been to Paris, I ain't never been to the facking Lebanon'
Beirut is a very nice city, was there last month. Would go again. Painstakingly conflictive at the core but beautiful all the same. I'd recommend anyone to visit it.
Their reaction is fully understandable.
It's also a them against us situation. Hezbollah backed Shia's vs. Sunni militants.
