 off be4 but lil'access in desert ...\n\npass[in] on a sentiment that a 
 lebanese sisterfriend of [my friend]\nshared at an emergency community 
 forum wednesday.\n\nshe mentioned that it really hurt her to see all the 
 pictures of dead\nfolks being circulated; that she felt 'this is somebody's 
 dead' ,\nthis is sacred. somebody's sister, cousin, child, 
 grandmother,\nuncle. that we do need to be aware but that she felt we need 
 to\nalso be respectful, to revere our martyred. i am not directing this\nat 
 you of course. i just wanted to share it because it really hit me\nhard.\n
