and so much more, so many different paraphrases and nuances ... in communicating news...

There's so much in the choice of words!
war against hezbollah says CNN while 1020 civilians have been reported dead so far not to mention the massive destruction of Lebanon.
expanding military action euronews still smoothens and uses emulsifiers
Israel advances in lebanon as reported from new zealand sounds like a field trip eih?
Expand lebanon operations operations?? isnt that the very term that was so controversial in the sharm el sheikh agreement when it came to the israeli acts in the occupied territories?

The world news are a source of huge frustrations when we live the daily massacres when we witness our whole geography changing shape ..... yes huge frustration. Like that anonymous comment posted to nadine on her blog, in brief, "yeah we know whats going on but what have you .. to the world you're the villains ...." or otherwise said, we know we have a blindfold but we're comfy with that ....
Huge frustrations .... what to do? Blame our misfortune on others? not much of an option we've already tried that.
Accept to be silently buried? Not much of a choice.
Then
Let's speak up!
Publish!
Make ourselves heard!

We always have been good at expressing ourselves, let's use our skills to make ourselves heard.
We need to be heard.
We need to work for peace Our peace, the security of our people our land our homes.
Just heard Sayed Nasrallah's word, we seem to be all agreeing on a solution ..... for once, we're agreeing for once! Let's make it happen ...
Despaired as we are, we still can ...
We still can God willing ....
