Recently, the world was shocked during attacks across Paris on Friday night of November 13th. Today, 128 innocent civilians in Paris dead. Simultaneous explosions shocked France’s capital at various locations on Friday, including suicide bombings outside a bar near the Stade de France soccer stadium in the northern area of Saint-Denis. As many as about 100 hostages were being held in the Bataclan concert hall according to Interior Ministry of France.
These attacks was very tragic towards over the world. There are many innocent people that should not deserve to it which is over a hundred of them are no longer with us. There are also a shocked for European State about the attacks. Its may be the tragedy towards family members that loss the person that they love.
All over the world were mourned towards this tragedy and pray for them. But we should not forget the attacks across Lebanon that occured in Beirut. There are about 45 innocent civilians dead. 2015 was ending the way it started with terrorists attacks occuring in Lebanon and France almost at the same time, in the same context of demented creatures spreading hate and fear and death wherever they went. Both capitals were broken and scarred, old news to us perhaps but foreign territory to them.

When the tragedy occur in Beirut and people died on the street on November 12th, the world leaders did not mention it and rise up in the condemnation. There are no statement expressing their objection on the attacks or sympathy towards Lebanese people. There are no global outrage towards innocent people whose only fault was being out there at the wrong place and time should never have to go that way or that their families should never be broken that way or they did not send the world into mourning. Their death was but an irrelevant fleck along the international news cycle, something that happens in those parts of the world. The world view direction only towards Paris attacks compared to what happening to Beirut.
When Lebanese people died, no country bothered to lit up its landmarks in the colors of their flag. Facebook offered users a one-click option to overlay their profile pictures with the French tricolor, a service not offered for the Lebanese flag. On Friday the social media giant even activated Safety Check, a feature usually reserved for natural disasters that lets people alert loved ones that they are unhurt, they had not activated it the day before for Beirut.
There are should not have any discrimination towards different kind of races, religion and state because we are all the same as the human in this world. We live under the same roof of sky, we get along by day and night, we breath with the same oxygen, so why cant we act towards others, respectful in the similar way by not prejudice to each other.
