Eighth Newsletter - Your Bulletin (8/8/2020) highlighted the interaction on Lebanese social media platforms with the ongoing demonstrations in Beirut, and the tag "Judgment Day" was the most accurate description of what is happening on the ground.
Through this tag, the activists transmitted hundreds of pictures and clips of protests against what they called the princes of blood and war, and the activists demanded fair retribution from the ruling political class for all the poverty and destruction it inflicted on Lebanon and its people, as they say.
Activist Ali Spiti wrote, "The protesters’ mood has changed, which is remarkable, from demonstrating to build a state, to abandoning the dream of the state, which will not be realized soon, and to demonstrate and fight against those who have deprived them of it. "
Journalist Fatima Abdullah said, "Not once I was with the execution, but today, and an excuse from human rights, with the execution of everyone who neglected, stunned, or brokered, or caused the crime of the port, and everyone knew about ammonium and let the firefighters die in cold blood. Those criminals are forbidden to mislead We live with more than 150 martyrs of the homeland massacre.
As for activist Manal Kuntar, she said, "The Lebanese army today has a different job than before. Today the security and safety of the demonstrators is in the hands of God and the army, and its job today is historic.
The artist, Badi 'Abu Shakra wrote, "Do you know what terrorism and criminality is? When tear gas was poured among the thousands of people standing there, women, men, choice and children, this is terrorism ... the army commander must take a quick decision. Your people, Joseph Aoun, are dying."
Journalist Josephine Deeb said, "How many times have we seen the same scene! People are demonstrating in the Martyrs Square, two after that, young people arrive from Khandaq Al-Ghamiq with sectarian chants, but perhaps this time the attempts to contain the street will not succeed in creating a sectarian problem, because after the August 4 explosion it is not like it before."
Journalist Michel Tueni wrote, "Live bullets ... an interruption of broadcasting to prevent the media from being broadcasted directly, welcome in the era of crime, dictatorship, repression and terrorism."
As for the media, Rima Njeim, she warned the revolutionaries against the brutality of the authority and said, "They are breathing their last breaths ... expect everything from them."
