Syria's dividing lines: Syrians in Lebanon take one of two sides: those who reject Al-Assad's Baathist regime, and those who remain willing to negotiate with it. Waiting to vote: Lebanese politicians are fielding proposals to revise the voting system while the date for legislative elections remains uncertain. Syria's media war: As the battle in Syria rages on, the media has become a weapon to fight for.  
Circumventing censors: Censorship played a crucial role in Lebanon following the civil war, but now it is being challenged by rights groups who see free expression as the baseline of all rights. Lebanon strikes Islamist suspects: A deadly military operation in the town of Arsal may be the first of many in Lebanon. Flight next door: Many Syrians have moved to Lebanon to escape the conflict in their country, but not all of them are facing the harsh life of the refugee.  
Unrest mounts in south Lebanon: A young Egyptian died in the crossfire of a recent shooting in the southern city of Saida between local Salafis and supporters of Hizbullah. Lebanon still languishing: The Arab Spring seems to have passed over Lebanon, with sectarian tensions remaining high and the government still unable to get much done. Getting the picture: Visualising Palestine combines images and facts with a message of social justice to tell a different story of Palestinians than mainstream media.  
Uneasy balance: The Lebanese government maintains the status quo through the backing of Walid Jumblatt, while the US and its allies make plans. Left with nothing: Syrians often played host to refugees fleeing violence and persecution. Today, they are the ones displaced as war wages in their country. Clashes in Tripoli as government falls: The government in Lebanon collapsed this week following disagreements with Hizbullah, leading to street clashes in Tripoli.  
Lebanese killing fields: Lebanon could be closing a dark chapter of assassinations, or the latest victim could be the start of a protracted conflict. Instability rocks Lebanon: A series of kidnappings, killings and the threat of bombings have pushed Lebanon to the brink of total instability. About face: Lebanon requests aid for Syrian refugees after calls made by Hizbullah's Nasrallah. But can the country resolve its own internal political divisions?  
Democratic doubts: Parliamentary elections are approaching in 2013, but Lebanese politicians are fighting over electoral laws, putting in question whether elections will be held at all.
