Lisa, I'm sorry. Really I am. I still don't think, even with the above letter written by this Leb/Pal journalist, that Rinat's entering the south of Lebanon was warranted or ethical. It's one thing to enter a country that's divided by opinion in a city we know opinion actually IS divided or entering an area everyone knows (!) an Israeli would not be welcome (understatement) - I think that s-o-m-e hitchasjvut should be in place. Therefore, although it sounds hypocritical, I view your reporting mission as a step forwards, but cannot agree with that of Rinat (not Rinat personally, but every Israeli that would have entered that region). To approach hizbAllah supporters/members their wishes should be respected as well, because without respect there is no hope in this region. I wonder when we start to learn this... and btw: I don't mean respect for Hizb's 'ideology' of course - but in human-to-human relations.
