The following picture spread around like wildfire these past couple of days. Those against Boutros Harb started going on about how he was going back to his “roots” of bowing to those who are “superior.” (Yes, I have heard this being said.). Those that support him figured it can’t be true. I am neither a blind supporter nor a hater, so I simply didn’t care.
Typical Lebanese positions.
But there’s a video now to show which side was right. It looks like the picture was a very cheap shot by Assafir. They knew what he was doing and still published it anyway.
A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares 
In the video, as Boutros Harb was about to sit, he executed many bows going from 20 degrees to 40 and deeper to 80 degrees before his master. You don’t need to bow at 80 degrees to be able to sit down. Look at the video in very slow motion. The video’s intent is to distract the viewer from the core of the problem by showing that they were about to sit.

Yessssssssss look at him bow to his Master! Of course he waited until after he met and shook hands with him, and until all the cameramen rallied up to shoot him perform this profound act of servitude in the 2nd room but WAIT! If you really slow the video down, and go frame by frame, you can actually see he’s FAKING to sit down. Yes. What he actually meant to do was BOW. You can see it in his eyes at frame 552. The sitting part and the whole “invitation to sit down” act was all a cover-up. In fact, I think that this entire footage is fake and that the headlines of Assafir and Tayyar were objectively factual as usual. I’m even surprised they didn’t mention S&M while they’re at it! It is definitely not a cheap shot and if I were Boutros Harb I would not sue for slander! So shame on you Boutros Harb. Why didn’t you bow to your Master right away, huh?? Show some respect! *whip*
PS: I think stupidity should be illegal. Just saying.

Appreciate your feedback.
The issue of who is and who is not credible in Lebanon and elsewhere is a different and interesting topic. The media in general is hardly objective but most of the time bias.

Because it’s a given. Because it has become so ingrained that it doesn’t even deserve a proof.
You have a house in Lebanon? I have three. I also live there, which you don’t. I pay two electrical bills too, yes. Well newsflash, the ministers who have been handling the ministry of energy have either been FPM or FPM allies for the past 20 years.
And if you’re seriously going to wrap up the entirety of the country’s problems with paying two electrical bills, then there’s not much for us to do here when it comes to discussion.
