Peter Maida

London - England | July 19

I am a Syrian engineer working in the UK. Like many young people, I was forced to leave my country seeking a better life. I have left behind my family, my friends, my neighborhood, and my memories. I do not know what I would do if I start to lose them!
My Lebanese friend was spending his honeymoon in Beirut with his British bride when the war struck. This is not about ideals, religions, countries, or interests. It is about people’s lives and their dreams.
Some people do not know what that means. Their lives and others’ lives are too cheap for them. We who enjoy life drive them mad because we show them that their life is meaningless.
Please demonstrate against war raising LEBANON FLAGS ONLY. It is the only symbol for joy, for love of life, and for resilience in this crazy war.
