where is the safe check-in in beirut?

where is the lebanese flag on facebook?

where are the news headlines, and lights on government buildings and honouring and remembering the lebanese victims? or the syrian victims? or the iraqi victims? or the schoolchildren in pakistan, who get killed while in class?

these lives matter too. they too were daughters and sons, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. they too had struggles and dreams. they too were killed prematurely. these losses deserve the same outrage and empathy, the same outpour of love and sympathy. 

if you gather and protest, march, or pray remember all victims of terrorism – not just the european ones. be aware of media bias, fight against it. educate yourself and educate others. be informed, that is the only way you can offer support.
