Beirut | Los Angeles calls itself a "nonpartisan albeit progressive project for peace, linking Americans with Lebanon in particular and the Middle East more generally." It's from the Levantine Cultural Center, an L.A. arts organization established in 2001 to explore the contemporary arts and traditional cultures of the Middle East and Mediterranean. They say about the new website:
We share the ethos that armed attacks of any kind cannot resolve political differences; that all parties must abide by international law and established conventions; and that peace comes with just solutions that address the needs of all concerned. Everyone in the Middle East must be empowered to enjoy the benefits of self-determination, and the rights and privileges so aptly laid down in the United Nations Charter and the Constitution of the United States.Any organization with a mission of peaceful bridge-building between east and west is welcome to become a partner in the project.
Los Angeles and Beirut became official sister cities in June.
