Hate "In the Hot Zone"

Across Syria & Inside Homs

 The optimism and content that I felt after reading Kevin Sites’ report on Syrian bloggers are now eroding. I was peaking at the comment section of Kevin’s latest report, and short of any other, more suitable description, I have to say, I am horrified. Horrified, that many of those who commented, were bothered by the story and bothered to see everyday people in Syira telling their stories. Would these hateres rather not see our faces? Do they prefer that in a time of conflict we die, without faces? Would that be easier on them? Some spoke of themselves as realists, other calling people in the Middle East “sub-humans”. To those I say, I still want to keep my face. If realism dictates innocent people’ death then let them die with their faces on, and if you out here still think it is too much to offer, then god help us all. We are not asking for much, are we? Twisted logic in some of those who commented went like “ they hate America, they don’t want us to help them, they are terrorists, they refuse our billions and democracy, hence we should not even bother with thier stupid stories” What I am not able is to understand is, why the hell you hate us that much? You are probably setting on your sofa drinking your beer and watching Howard Stern show…so enjoy it and leave us alone!! Cannot even tolerates a human face? or is it that you can no longer go and enslave black people so you are lashing out your hatred on the faceless Middle Easterns? I swear to god, some of you are no better than Osama benladden. what's ironic is the people intereviewd in there reports were not "radical islaimist" on the contrary they were people that you would like to have as allies.. and for you out there who think that way, i say: if you are outraged that Ben Laden and his followers think you are infidals and deserve death, you are no better. Wars are still to be fought in this dirty world, but at lease let's all look the enemy in the face. NowIf your conclusion to the above is that I am just another person who hates America, then you are not only wrong, you are moron. People all around the world look up to the fought hard for American values, and trust me if it was up to you and you likes, then blacks in the south will be to this day crossed in the south. Finally, I would like to thank you all those in the US , who enjoyed the stories brought to you from Syria, and for taking those stories simply for what they are.. stories. my hope is that those constitute the majority, although i am surprised my the shear volume of hateful comments. Top, more faces from syria to look at. Update: after reading some of the comments to this post, i felt un update is neceassry to clear up few things: there are no generalizations here, I personally live in the states, and I love it, americans too. I am concerned that pitty left wing-right wing battles are going too far. people mixing politics with feelings of being human. I have no illusions about the world. people are the same everywhere, and distributions of haters, i believe, is similar in all countrries. That's said, does not mean that we have to stop pointing out those haters wherever they may be. Syrians included, and on the top of the list. |
