Re: Re: Re: Re: Beirut, one year after the war: my article for Time Out Tel Aviv

I honestly did not get that impression at all from Lisa's previous reports (and TV appearance). Haven't read the TOTA piece yet, but I can't imagine it's much different from the previous dispatches we've read.
There is absolutely nothing in the tone that indicates "outsmarting the Lebanese". So far, I've seen an honest depiction of what Lisa saw in Lebanon.
Sure, being an Israeli, and never having seen Lebanon through her own eyes, there is bound to be a skewing of what one sees colored to a degree by what one might have expected. A lot of westerners come to Lebanon thinking it's going to look like a war-scarred shithole and make comments like "Wow. It's not at all what I expected. I didn't see a lot of bearded men screaming 'Death to America'. " or similar comments. And I can see how some might find that kind of comment somewhat offensive, but that's about it.
What's a lot more maddening to me, is having read/seen the Hezbollah/Al Manar/Al Jazeera depiction of Lisa's visit, with all the lies and fabrications that entailed.
