Lebanon Agrees to Talk with Israel on Maritime Borders

Oct 10, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 3 Comments

For the last decade, Israel has been discovering huge undersea deposits of natural gas in the Tamar and Leviathan fields under the Mediterranean, and is now producing that gas both for its own use and for sale to Egypt and Jordan. Lebanon, meanwhile, has stood on the sidelines, needing to demarcate its maritime border with […]

Sep 6, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Macron, in Beirut at the end of August, engaged in some symbolic acts before getting down to the business of lecturing his hosts on the need for meaningful reform.

Carl Bildt Snipes At Israel

Aug 16, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

As is well known, whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, anywhere in the world, Israel is always among the first to offer aid, beginning with Human Locator Devices to rescue those still under the rubble. It sends medical teams, medical equipment, medicines, field hospitals. And Israel has a long record, too, of providing […]

Lebanon’s president suggests he is open to peace talks with Israel

Aug 16, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Aoun did not respond enthusiastically when asked if Lebanon would make peace with Israel. “That depends,” he said. “We have problems with Israel and we have to resolve them first.” This was, however, not a blanket rejection, as has always been given in the past. The Israel/UAE deal is reverberating positively around the Islamic world, […]

Muslim sociologist says Beirut blast Allah’s punishment for blasphemy, homosexuality, plastic surgery in Lebanon

Aug 12, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“You curse Allah and His religion, and you expect Him to give you success?” Abd Al-Zaziz Al-Khazraj Al-Ansari here assumes the Islamic view that obedience to Allah will bring one success in this world, and disobedience will bring ill fortune in this world. When pious Muslims don’t achieve success in this world, this often leads […]

Blaming the Beirut Blast on Israel

Aug 12, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

While there is near-universal agreement in Lebanon that the blast in Beirut was the result of a fire that caused 2,750 tones of ammonium nitrate — that had been carelessly stored in Hanger 12 at the Port of Beirut for six years — to explode, there are still those brazenly promoting the story that Israel […]

In Lebanon, Can Hezbollah Be Tamed?

Aug 11, 2020 2:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

When 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate that had been carelessly stored for six years in Hangar 12 at the Port of Beirut blew up on August 4, the loss of life and destruction was terrific. 154 people have died so far, 5,000 have been wounded, 300,000 are now homeless, and $10-$15 billion in damage has […]

Israel Offers Medical Help to Lebanon, Lebanon Remains Silent

Aug 11, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

As so often happens after disasters worldwide, Israel was among the very first countries to respond to the blast in Beirut, offering medical help to the affected people. In this case, those affected are Lebanese, many of them Muslims, and their country, Lebanon, is still officially at war with Israel. None of that mattered to […]

Lebanon: Hizballah’s Nasrallah and His Ally President Aoun Hanged In Effigy

Aug 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Since last October, Lebanese have been out protesting in the streets against the mismanagement and corruption of their political class. Those nonviolent protests were put down violently by Hezbollah bezonians, following the directions of Hassan Nasrallah. In the spring, the coronavirus epidemic took its own toll on the protests, because many were afraid to show […]

Time for Lebanon’s President Aoun to Resign

Aug 10, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In Lebanon, there is rage building against the entire political class, the politicians who for years have, through mismanagement and corruption, helped to lead Lebanon to economic ruin. Lebanon’s Debt-to-GDP ratio is the second highest in the world; the currency is cratering; unemployment has skyrocketed; young Lebanese professionals dream of emigrating. The collapse of the […]

Lebanese Politicians Want Their Government to Act Against Hezbollah (Part 2)

Aug 4, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The Sunnis are, unsurprisingly, determined to curb Hezbollah’s power by joining with all the other Lebanese groups that have had enough of Hassan Nasrallah and his bezonians goose-stepping through south Beirut. The Future Movement [predominantly Sunni], led by former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, has demanded that the state and military take responsibility, “in light of […]
