Blogging "On the Brink" of War
As the Middle East sits on the brink of a humanitarian disaster citizens turn to the Blogosphere to express their opinions.
In Lebanon and Israel, bombing campaigns have damaged the infrastructure and power sources of the countries' major cities, but citizens and onlookers have continued to turn to the Internet for support, to communicate with friends and family members, and to share their perspectives.
During an extremely controversial International crisis, an online petition has also been created for Internet users to their show support for innocent Lebanese citizens.
Many Middle Eastern bloggers echo the sentiment of how hard is to truly understand this crisis from a TV halfway across the world. The Internet and the Blogosphere create a forum that allows citizens to communicate the true tragedy of this crisis. Check out what some bloggers and citizens have to say at
Global Voices Online and the BBC’s
