Soldiers! Leave us kids alone! All in all you're just another brick in the wall All in all we've just made another BREAK in the wall</i> P.S: The original song is entitled “Another Brick on the Wall” I respect such artists. They support the case with their creativity. They can let the world know how racist Israel is. Roger Waters, songwriter of Pink Floyd, made some efforts against the wall. In a separated action, Palestinian children have performed an inspired song of his well known “Another Break on the Wall”, the changes on lyrics are as follows:

We don’t need no occupation
We don’t need no racist wall
No more siege and no more curfews
Soldiers leave us kids alone
Hey! Soldiers! Leave us kids alone!
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all we’ve just made another BREAK in the wall

I love the idea of "decorating" the Wall. In a loose way, it reminds me of San Diego's <a href="http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/" rel="nofollow">Chicano Park</a>. That’s brilliant.

You take some beautiful pictures! I am a student at the University of Minnesota in the USA. I am a journalism student and am required to write a story on Beirut. I am just trying to get a hold of anyone I can from Beirut so I can talk to them about how the war with Israel effects you on a daily basis, or if it effects you at all? I would be very greatful for any response you could give me. Thanks so much for your time. Please e-mail me at tarr0011@umn.edu. Thanks again! Tiffany Hi there.

Naseem, your blog is kind of a "get-away" for me. Your work is highly appreciated and admired. Keep it up!
