The Syrians in Lebanon are transforming into figures. The goal is to inspire fear in the Lebanese of «the invasion of the displaced persons».
It is even more of a disgrace when tragedy is abstracted in a quantity. Each person has his own story and his own cause. Generalizations are deliberate stamping out of detail. While the tragedy of the displaced lies in the details of their suffering, and their suffering is clatter. Resurrection is still far on the horizon. It is outrageous that the displaced people have become a political problem, as is the case in Europe that closed its doors to them. They are a humanitarian cause that needs to be tackled from the perspective of human brotherhood. The displaced person has enough dealing with the hardships of asylum; to alleviate his suffering is a moral duty. Mankind has not yet lived up to the unity of «human brotherhood».
Lebanon suffers from its problems that preceded the Syrian displacement. To make the displaced persons bear the responsibility for these problems or compounding them is qualified deceit; evasion of truth. The world could still awaken from its slumber one day and proclaim a law on «the rights of the displaced people», so long as wars will not be stopping, conflicts are on the rise, and displacement is as a result of this violence.
Peace is still out of reach. The protection of the displaced persons and those fleeing wars is a project worth striving for. Addressing wars by putting an end to them and addressing displacement with «temporary peace» in outspread diaspora... Perhaps something of this nature may well still happen. The war is still in its early stages.
