One after\u00adnoon in the dog days of a Beirut sum\u00admer, Tony gets into an alter\u00adca\u00adti\u00adon with Yasser over a bro\u00adken drain\u00adpipe. Tony is a mecha\u00adnic and a Christian. Yasser is a con\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adtion fore\u00adman and a Palestinian. When Tony, hard-nosed and hot-hea\u00added, refu\u00adses to accept Yasser\u2019s half\u00adhe\u00adar\u00adted apo\u00adlo\u00adgy, two brui\u00adsed male egos begin to swell. Tony utters an unf\u00ador\u00adgi\u00adveable insult to Yasser. With a speed neither man could fore\u00adsee, their per\u00adso\u00adnal argu\u00adment escala\u00adtes through the neigh\u00adbor\u00adhood and the city to the natio\u00adnal stage. The dis\u00adpu\u00adte comes to encap\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adte the las\u00adting lega\u00adcy of the Lebanese Civil War \u2013 and beco\u00admes a light\u00adning rod for peo\u00adp\u00adle with more power than eit\u00adher man to pur\u00adsue their own agen\u00addas.

THE<\/span> INSULT<\/span> is an impec\u00adca\u00adbly made poli\u00adti\u00adcal dra\u00adma, laye\u00adred with cle\u00adver obser\u00adva\u00adtions on the com\u00adplex histo\u00adry of the regi\u00adon. But, abo\u00adve all, this is a tale of two men trap\u00adped by the past and try\u00ading, as best they can, to escape from its grasp in order to move into the future. (Kiva Reardon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
