I was excited when I learned that the makers of the “Homeland” television series had arrived in Israel and were shooting scenes for the second season ‏(now being broadcast‏).

Tel Aviv/Jaffa is not Beirut

I was in Beirut in September taking part in the 30 year commemoration of the massacre of Sabra and Shatila. There were colleagues from the United States attending. I find it rather pathetic that the crew of "Homeland" had to use Tel Aviv/Jaffa as a very unconvincing stand-in for Beirut. It just symbolises the isolated position of the USA in the Middle East.

Segments of Beirut should be filmed in Beirut, not in a country that has caused considerable damage to Lebanon and her people!
