Good Neighbors on Siniora
Good Neighbors is a group effort by some Arab, Israeli, and other Middle Eastern bloggers, formed in the wake of the Lebanon War last summer. It is an attempt to continue the fragile online dialogue begun by Middle Eastern bloggers last spring,which continued during the war, although altered in tone. (The iconic example was one blogger sitting on his roof in Beirut, describing bombs falling in his neighborhood in a comment on an Israeli's blog.)
One of the Lebanese bloggers at Good Neighbors offers a gloss on a NYTimes op-ed by Lebanese PM Siniora; he begins:
Unfortunately, our Prime Minister comes off looking extremely stupid. Siniora’s Op-Ed is ludicrous when read from an international or Israel perspective, but makes sense when read in the Lebanese/Saudi context.
and proceeds to explain the subtext beneath each paragraph. Check it out.
