Lebanonesia Meets Israel. According to Haaretz--and one should always be wide-eyed, skeptical when it comes to Israeli media--we saw them in action last summer, a Lebanese blogger (probably with three readers from what one can gather) is visiting Israel. Here, he shares his impressions: " I didn't imagine there was any poverty here [in Israel] at all, that there were beggars at the intersections or the Western Wall. In Lebanon there is no such thing; there you can see Mercedes and Lamborghinis on the roads." (thanks Ali)
