US Ambassador in Lebanon: with eggs and shoes

People in the village of Kfar Milki in Iqlim Tuffah in South Lebanon today heard that the US ambassador in Lebanon was planning to visit the public school in the village to brag about a fistful of dollars that the US had donated. Quickly (and typically) a group of women and children gathered outside of the school in the village armed with signs, eggs, and old shoes. They started chanting and saying that they may allow the ambassdor to visit the village if the US stops giving bombs to Israel. The ambassador heard of the noise and the commotion and decided to cancel the trip. This was based on a report on NBN.
