How the Saudi Plot to Topple the Lebanese Government Backfired by ROBERT FISK
The Saudis may be holding the Lebanese Prime Minister hostage but their apparent plan to topple the Beirut government has gloriously backfired. Far from breaking up the cabinet and throwing Hezbollahs ministers to the wolves, the Lebanese nation has suddenly … Continue reading
Israels 6th War on Lebanon: What Price Will Hezbollah Pay? by FRANKLIN LAMB
The price Hezbollah will pay during Israels coming 6th war on Lebanon will likely be less militarily consequential long term, than the near certain acceleration of the Party of Gods loss of its Resistance brand. The latter already being eschewed … Continue reading

Israel’s First War on Lebanon – The War of Lies by URI AVNERY
Thirty years ago this week, the Israeli army crossed into Lebanon and started the most stupid war in Israelâs history. It lasted for 18 years. About 1500 Israeli soldiers and untold numbers of Lebanese and Palestinians were killed.
