The Lebanon Mania

When the war first started in Lebanon I was so scared. I used to call a friend of mine in Beirut daily, I was scared to death. I thought was has never been so close to me. I was happy when I saw people walking around with Lebanon flags, I put the flag on my own blog. I was supportive, and I liked the fact that everyone was being supportive to the cause.
This was until I witnessed the Day for Lebanon held in my university. They were selling stuff all of which the money will go to Lebanon. They are sending one million EGP to Lebanon. My first reaction was: wow, that's good, then I started thinking about it.
Lebanon is in a much better economic state than Egypt, it's a much smaller country, too. The war has been going on for some 60 days only. Why all the propaganda?
War has been much much closer to me, it has been going on in Palestine for ages now!
Is it that it has been going on for long that we forgot Palestine, the never ending conflict?
I dont really know, but I was mad at myself. I support Lebanon, I wish there was something I can do. I am scared for Lebanon and lebanese people, especially my friends there and my friends' family but, this is mere propaganda. Having pop stars sing for a country not their own this is just media BS.
I will keep the flag on my blog because I love Lebanon, but I wish we wouldnt take it too far that it would become unfair for Palestine, for instance, or Iraq...places that need much more attention.
