In contrast, Lebanese people are deprived of their right to <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">just live<\/span><\/em> with dignity. To end this post with music, one song comes to Bambi&#8217;s mind now. It&#8217;s Mr. Leonard Cohen&#8217;s <em>Hallelujah<\/em>, in an acapella version in both English and Arabic (shared earlier). May God save Bambi&#8217;s birth country from its endemic corruption and comfort its sweet people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Inside Lebanon\u2019s crisis: why families are fleeing to Europe\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b4Zqw58mX5k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Vocals MEA - Hallelujah [Acapella Version] (2020) \/ \u0647\u0644\u0644\u0648\u064a\u0627\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_mbbAtVeZ40?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/heart-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25231\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/heart-13.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/heart-13-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 85vw, 196px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This short video is a heart-breaking documentary on the Lebanese economic tragedy.
