Lebanon: Personal grieving for Gebran Tueni

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Lebanon

Rami writes; Gebran Tueni [1] is not responsible for sectarian divisions in Lebanon. His entire platform was built around unity, a unity that he partially embodied. Those who decry his words are those that stand against a unified Lebanon [2]. To substantively engage what he has said and to call him out for his transgressions is one thing, but to so vituperatively cheer Tueni's death is to express the true evil in the human soul. [3]
