Jeebesh,

Many thanks for forwarding the mails. They really do "reach through and 
touch you like no statistics ever can".

Dear all

Sometimes the words of a single witness can reach through and touch
you like no statistics ever can. These are a series of ongoing mails
from Beirut. They were forwarded to me by Avi Mograbi an Israeli docu
maker who was supposed to come to Delhi and Bombay last week but
cancelled his trip to stay back and do his bit to bring sanity and
humanity to the people of Israel and to all those who still do not
grasp what is actually going on in the Middle East.



We've shown Avi's films in Vikalp. Avi's son is a refusenik who
refused to fight in the Israeli army and was jailed for it.



I know this is primarily a film related space and what is below goes
far beyond film, but please do read this. Anand
