❊ Anti-Israeli Vegetarians and Anti-Israeli Vegans

So I guess Lara Fabian is coming to Lebanon after all.

The only thing worse than reversing course is changing your mind about reversing course. So we are now entering a clash pitting “fans of the usurping power that kills Lebanese children” against “mullah-loving gun-totting enemies of culture and civilization”.

These are really harsh classifications. Surely we can come with something better than that. So I was inspired by previous comments in this blog to come up with different categories of Lebanese:

• Anti Israel Vegetarians: They are declared enemies of Israel and boycott activists. Every now and then they find a celebrity who sang in Israel, a gallery displaying the work of an Israeli photographer or a politician who accidentally said hello to an Israeli on twitter, and decide to publicly shame them for contributing to the death of Lebanese children. After that, they resume life as normal citizens of the 21st century
• Anti Israel Vegans: They are truly committed to the cause of boycotting Israel. They don’t use cancer drugs invented by Israelis, they don’t drink Starbucks or eat at McDonalds. They don’t use the internet, google, facebook, twitter or Microsoft products. They shun banks, loans, credit cards and just about any invention that Israelis happened to have taken part of somewhere down the creative line. These are the truly committed to the cause of not killing Lebanese babies

The problem with this dichotomy is that the vegetarians are hypocrites and the vegans are savages. The rest of the Lebanese are stuck between the two. They are not carnivores, they’re just people who decided that the best way to live is to eat that meal and not ask whether it’s halal or not..
