Iran's attacks over the weekend against Israel have lamentably failed. Perhaps Iran intended them to fail because of its cowardice and impotence. It has even begged Israel to consider the "matter concluded", which means Tehran is terrified at the prospects of a major confrontation and, despite decades of virulent rhetoric against Israel, it knows that under the present circumstances it cannot win a war against Israel. The Iranian attacks have nonetheless demonstrated that Israel's invicibility is not intrinsic to it, but comes from its parasitic reliance of its Western sponsors for money, weap ..read more

It has always been the problem for the idiots claiming to be fighting Israel: It's much more powerful than they are, and it has the American behemoth behind it. Here in Lebanon, we have endlessly advised the Palestinians back in the 1970s, then the Hezbollah thugs since 1991 to date, that smart people fight battles they can win. Had the Palestinians accepted the 1947 partition plan, they might have used the seven decades to build themselves up into a technology-savvy country with a strong economy. Instead, the hostility and threats were exploited by Israel that played the victim so well during ..read more

As they did in the 1970s, Lebanon's Christians who were facing an Arab- and US-backed assault by a coalition of Muslims-Communists-Palestinians-Syrians, kept calling on the State and its useless Army to enforce the rule of law against the coalition's militia which consisted essentially of the Palestine Liberation Organization of Yasser Arafat and its assortment of affiliated militias and terror organizations. With the failure of the State and its Army, the Christians waited and sustained attacks for 10 years before forming their own militia to defend themsleves. Today, the same scenario is in ..read more

Israeli IDF and Settler Terrorists Burn and Kill in West Bank Israeli terror forces shot dead two Palestinians in raids in the occupied West Bank on Friday and the Palestinian Health Ministry reported at least one person was killed in an Israeli settler rampage near Ramallah. The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said another man was killed by Israeli forces conducting a raid in the Al-Far'a refugee camp in Tubas. The Jewish terror squads said they opened fire on Palestinians who threw explosive devices and killed one man it said was attempting to attack them. Israel has stepped up militar ..read more

Habib Battah  April 10, 2024 On a late July day in 2023, amid the pine tree hills overlooking the Bay of Beirut, 14 bright yellow tower cranes and thousands of workers toiled over the construction site of the third US embassy in Lebanon.

At over 40 acres, the new Beirut embassy, a 19-structure ziggurat that dwarfs any government facility in Lebanon, is the second largest in the world after Baghdad’s. Its billion-dollar estimated budget r ..read more

Another April 13 is coming up, the date in 1975 when the Lebanese Christians took up arms against the Syrians and the Palestinians in an attempt to prevent that Lebanon becomes a substitute Palestine. Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), founded by Yasser Arafat on 1965, began a campaign of destabilization and war against the Lebanese State. Unable to do anything worthwhile for Palestine, the Palestinian “Revolution” turned against its host country, Lebanon. Backed by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Libya among other Sunni Arab countries, Arafat chall ..read more

Netanyahu now has only one objective left for his Gaza War: Destroy Hamas. The other objective, namely to rescue the hostages, is no more. The Israeli hostages seem to be all presumed dead. This makes sense because  1- the Jewish bombing of Gaza that has killed upwards of 33,000 Palestinians must have randomly killed a significant fraction of the hostages held by Hamas. 2- Hamas appears to be running out of hostages to trade. Which means that Netanyahu has failed monumentally in achieving his two objectives in Gaza, not to mention his other blunders: Haiving hiddern its violent colonialis ..read more

The former Nazi Germans are in panic mode: They continue to sink deeper into their fermenting hybrid cesspool of 1- Holocaust guilt and 2- Unwavering blind support for the supremacist Jewish Nazi state they helped create back in the 1940s. If they oppose Israel's barbarity, they'll be reminded of their horrid past. If they back Israel's barbarity - which they are doing now - they'll be guilty of genocide, but of Palestinians this time. That is why I have always said that Germans are incapable of nuance, they're dense, neurotic and dangerous at once.  When, as Nazis, they burned all the br ..read more

The New Republic Opinion Hafiz Rashid Mon, April 8, 2024 Press Asks What Israel Doesn’t “Want International Journalists to See” The Foreign Press Association slammed Israel on Monday for preventing international journalists from accessing Gaza, suggesting that Tel Aviv was trying to prevent the rest of the world from seeing the extent of the destruction. Israel’s brutal war in Gaza has killed at least 33,175 people in the last six months, including 13,000 children. Images and reports from the territory show vast areas filled with rubble, horrific images of corpses, and bombing survivors nu ..read more

Exclusive: Google Workers Revolt Over $1.2 Billion Contract With Israel Billy Perrigo Mon, April 8, 2024 In midtown Manhattan on March 4, Google’s managing director for Israel, Barak Regev, was addressing a conference promoting the Israeli tech industry when a member of the audience stood up in protest. “I am a Google Cloud software engineer, and I refuse to build technology that powers genocide, apartheid, or surveillance,” shouted the protester, wearing an orange t-shirt emblazoned with a white Google logo. “No tech for apartheid!” The Google worker, a 23-year-old software engineer name ..read more
