As expected as this call is, what makes it particularly concerning is that Hizballah and Hamas are far from isolated. “Qatar, Turkey, and Hamas in Gaza are aligned with the Sunni Islamist and antisemitic Muslim Brotherhood.” Qatar’s ambassador to Germany, Mohamed Jaham al-Kuwari, recently asserted that “Qatar has become a central power in the Middle […]
In Lebanon, Can Hezbollah Be Tamed?
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 […]
Lebanon: Hizballah’s Nasrallah and His Ally President Aoun Hanged In Effigy
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 […]
Hizballah top dog Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast
What a remarkable coincidence. Could there possibly be some connection between Hizballah and this blast, which many are insisting was an accident? If there is, will we ever know that for sure, or will it be obscured for fear of “Islamophobia”? “Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast,” by Seth […]
Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah Huffs and Puffs
The Hezbollah leader imitates the puff adder, so-named because it puffs itself up to scare its enemies. The story is at the Jerusalem Post here: Marking 20 years since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in late May warned Israel of “the great war that will open all fronts at once,” saying that […]
How Weak Is Hezbollah? (Part 1)
The story, posted at The National, a UAE paper opposed both to Iran and to its proxy Hezbollah, is here: Some would say that, given the crisis Lebanon is facing today, Hezbollah’s project for the country is dead. Such statements, however, go too far. With thousands of men under arms, a missile arsenal, Iranian backing […]
Lebanon seeks $10,000,000,000 bailout from the IMF as Hizballah’s power increases
“Lebanon is set to request a $10 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to stem the country’s economic crisis, as part of the country’s financial rescue plan.” Meanwhile, the jihad terror group Hizballah has been gaining power in Lebanon, and holds 10% of parliamentary seats and two key ministry positions, including the Health […]
Hizballah leader calls for Lebanon to boycott American products as “part of the battle to prove Islamic superiority”
“Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah has called for Lebanese citizens to strike at the heart of U.S. global success and boycott its goods and products as ‘part of the battle’ to prove Islamic superiority.” This battle “to prove Islamic superiority” is an Islamic mandate. The battle is to subjugate House of War (dar al harb) and incorporate […]
In Lebanon, Nasrallah Loses Support
In Lebanon, after the government in October announced plans to increase taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and WhatsApp calls, protesters took to the streets. In a country where the confessional divide has traditionally been of great consequence, members of all three major sects – the Christians, Shi’ites, and Sunnis – have joined the protests, a unity […]
Rashida Tlaib and Her BFFs
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) has received a lot of criticism for the surpassing crudity of her declaration about the President — “We’re going to impeach the motherf***er”– and in the last few days for offering the phrase for sale on a t-shirt — but less attention has been given to the company she keeps. As […]
Hizballah top dog Nasrallah: “We will enter the occupied territory of Palestine”
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib bristle at suggestions that they support jihad terrorism, but if Hizballah actually did this, in what way would it upset them? How is their position any different from that of Hassan Nasrallah? “Nasrallah: ‘We will enter the occupied territory of Palestine,’” Arutz Sheva, September 28, 2019: Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah […]
Hizballah top dog Nasrallah: “In a future war, all of occupied Palestine will be struck by our rockets”
Nasrallah’s whole construct is based on a lie: Palestine is not “occupied.” The State of Israel was legally constituted and has defended itself successfully in a series of wars. Nasrallah’s determination to destroy it is not based on supposed Israeli atrocities or conflicts over land; rather, it is based entirely on Islam, as I will […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: A Few (Jihad Terrorist) Individuals Of High Net Worth
We hear endlessly about the economic misery of the “Palestinians” in Gaza, and the West Bank, or about the wretched condition of those who continue to live in the “refugee” camps of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria. We learn of their high unemployment rates, but not about why, most reluctantly, Israel has felt compelled to no longer […]
Hizballah top dog Nasrallah: “Death to America! Death to Israel!,” Trump’s move beginning of the end for Israel
Nasrallah mixed his incitement to jihad violence with some conspiracy paranoia, claiming that “America created ISIS and the takfiri groups.” “Takfir” is the act of declaring some other group non-Muslim, such that they can lawfully be killed. Sunni jihad groups such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda are often called takfiris by other Muslims — […]
Hizballah chief accuses Saudi Arabia of declaring war on Lebanon, forcing Lebanese PM to resign
Earlier in the week, it was Saudi Arabia that announced that Lebanon declared war on Saudi Arabia. Now, Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah is accusing Saudi Arabia of declaring war on Lebanon. Who is to be believed? It has long been the case that the two primary jihad-funding states of Iran (Shia) and Saudi Arabia (Sunni) […]
Hizballah top dog: “Christians and Muslims together oppose the challenges presented to them by Israel and the infidels”
Speak for yourself, Hassan. But unfortunately, he is right to a far greater degree than he ought to be: many Christian leaders, particularly in the Middle East, have thoroughly imbibed the dhimmi mentality. They don’t realize, or refuse to acknowledge, that the jihad that has devastated the Christian communities of the Middle East is the […]
Hizballah top dog: al-Nimr execution will spell the end of Saudi regime
Escalation continuing. “Hizbullah Secretary-General Nasrallah in Response to Al-Nimr Execution: This Will Spell the End of the Saud Regime and Clan,” MEMRI, January 3, 2016: In a January 3 address, Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in response to the execution of Saudi Shiite Sheikh Nimr Al-Nimr: “This blood that has been shed will spell the […]
Hizballah top dog praises “sublime jihad spirit” in murders of Israeli civilians
“What is going on now in Palestine reflects a lofty and sublime Jihad spirit.” He is referring to Muslims stabbing Israelis, running them down with their cars, etc. “Hezbollah leader lauds Palestinian ‘sublime Jihad spirit’ against Israel,” Jerusalem Post, November 7, 2015: Head of Lebanese terror group calls for Muslim solidarity in increased backing for […]
Hizballah top dog Nasrallah: “We will continue in the path of Jihad against Israel”
He is very happy with the recent spate of jihad stabbings of innocent civilians. “Hezbollah Calls for Intifada to ‘Save Al Aqsa,’” by Cynthia Blank, Arutz Sheva, October 18, 2015: Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, has expressed support for the wave of Arab terror attacks targeting Israeli civilians and security forces […]
