Open Your Heart
"Open your heart for those who are much worse off than you", said German Chancellor Angela Merkel in defense of her refugee policy. Both Germany and Lebanon continue to live up to this vow. Therefore, with the cold and rainy winter just around the corner, we should once more turn our attention to those who need our support the most: refugees and citizens burdened by the Syrian crisis and its implications for Lebanon.

As Christmas approaches, I would like to quote Father Georges Massouh from his article in this supplement, "The true lord is the one who chooses to be a servant to the poor, the needy, the displaced, the refugees, the homeless and all the afflicted." So, why don’t we start donating more, sharing more and judging less? Because no one knows how it feels for refugees to be at the constant mercy of prejudice, and no one knows to what extent our perception is influenced by biases.

Once again, I am pleased to present to you the 17th issue of the "Peace Building" news supplement. This four-year-old initiative engages the media by bringing together journalists, writers and artists from diverse backgrounds to work on promoting peace and rejecting prejudice - an experience befitting a country that has long boasted.
