A debate about Syria on Lebanese TV ends badly:

The subtitles get a little confusing as the discussion heats up. The transcript's here. Basically the Future Movement leader Mustafa Alloush says that Bashar al-Assad is a liar; an accusation to which loyal Ba'ath Party member Fayez Shakr does not react well. He throws a glass of water, which lands on the interviewer.

I love Shakr's "Your sister…" at the end, before the commercial cuts in. There are certain ritual insults which must always be thrown in these situations…

    Somewhat related — at least it’s from the same part of the world — after the bomb blast at the Tehran military base this past week, a poster in Iran has been ciruclating: “Just one depot shook all of Tehran, See what will happen if it falls day and night on Tel-Aviv”
    Very scary times we live in.
