This is how much the Lebanese trust the Israel Defense Forces (IDF): After iftar, they go out for shisha, tea, and snacks while watching Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah targets, without the slightest fear that Israel would ever target them.

Lebanese president and speaker denounced Isrsel for “committing massacres” that killed women and children in an airstrike on south Lebanon. The video shows one of the targeted houses. What do you see in the first few and last frames? Do you see a wheel still spinning? Was this a house on wheels? Was this a car parked inside the house? How about Israel struck a house inside which Hezbollah had parked a missile launcher trained on Israel?

Being stuck in traffic at 4 a.m. while fleeing for your life—this is what life under Islamist Iran and Hezbollah tyranny looks like. The irony is that 80 percent of those in the cars would elect the same Hezbollah to parliament if elections were held in ten minutes from now. The challenge is to explain to these people that they should vote for their interests, not for their identity and emotions.

Sharaa Islamist Arab Syrians dancing over the dead bodies of Kurdish Syrians. They also invite them to be integrated into “new Syria,” which looks exactly like old Syria but with a new president that has a beard and doesn’t shake women’s hands.

Anti-Islamist-regime Iranians are just relentless. Video of a protest from hours ago. Hard to verify. Source is reliable.

America’s ally Emir of Qatar bashes America for demanding disarmament of Hezbollah in Lebanon saying such a move causes civil war. So Qatar is holding a summit to denounce Israeli infringement on its sovereignty but sits there and meddles in sovereignty of other countries. And Qatar doesn’t see the irony!

After the “famine, genocide and ethnic cleansing,” Gazans flood sweet shops (and it’s not even Ramadan). Sahtein to all Gazans. Happy to see them out and about.

Lebanese social media is circulating this video claiming that Shia Amal partisans engaged in a fistfight with Shia Hezbollah terrorists to force them to pull a rocket launcher away from their neighborhood to avoid Israeli retaliation.

As Congress nears repealing Caesar Sanctions on Syria, and as Ambassador Tom Barrack Barrack claims #Syria will become a thriving ally of America and sign a "border deal" with #Israel (whatever that means), Jolani organized a military parade in Damascus where the new Syrian Army shouted exclusively Islamist slogans, including for Gaza. Attendees reported the military did not mention Syria once. It seems Jolani and the new state still see themselves as part of an Islamist Umma, not a Syrian nation-state. In Doha, Jolani accused America and Israel of terrorism for "killing civilians" in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gaza, while denying he was ever a terrorist.

On Lebanon’s most popular talk show صار الوقت: Policies are about interests, not morals. Lebanon’s interests require it to detach itself from Palestine, the Palestinians, the Arab world, and the region. The Lebanese should pursue their own interests as their top priority.

Exodus of residents from Beirut’s predominantly Shia southern suburb, fleeing the Hezbollah war with Israel. This is what Hezbollah calls “defending Lebanon.” The irony is that most of these displaced people themselves mourned Khamenei and would vote for Hezbollah if elections were held tomorrow. Nation-building is impossible until individuals understand the difference between their identity and their interests—a distinction that has yet to sink in for the majority of Lebanon’s Shia.

Very telling how much trust the Lebanese have in Israeli strike precision. This Christian family was driving when Israel hit a Hezbollah target. Mother lost it, started invoking Jesus, Mary and the saints for safety, daughter driver started calming her that it’s nothing and soon traffic will move. A male voice in the background describes how precise the missile sailed.

As part of “law enforcement,” Jolani’s Islamists desecrate a Druze house of worship. Notice how the Islamists are dressed in PRESS vests. In Gaza, Islamist Qatar’s Al-Jazeera Press people also doubled as Hamas fighters.

The earliest jokes of the Syrian revolution against Assad were that his security forces frisked Syrians looking for their “Facebooks” (believing Facebook was a physical machine). Assad’s security also beat Syrians while asking: “Who’s your lord?” The tortured Syrian was expected to answer, “Assad is my lord.” Now Sharaa’s security are doing the exact same thing. They beat a Syrian, accusing him of talking to Kurds on Facebook, then ordered him to bark—which he did while they continued beating him. New Syria, new Shmyria…

This is how happy Syrians are after reports that Nasrallah is presumably killed. They call him “Hassan Zummeyrah”, Arabic for “Hassan the Trumpet” poking fun at his long speeches.

Wow! If you are a Mideast expert, leave everything and watch this video. I could have watched hours of it. This is Waddah Younis, the Hezbollah fighter whom the IDF captured when he got stuck (or was hiding) in a tunnel shaft in south Lebanon. Waddah hails from a Communist family, but says that no one in Lebanon would give a job to a Shia (totally not true), and says Hezbollah is the only one that has money to employ people (true). He says that Hezbollah launched attacks from south #Lebanon villages because it controls municipal councils, such as in Hoola (formerly a bastion of Communists) but not in Rmeish (predominantly Christian) because the mayor is a partisan of Christian anti-Hezbollah leader Samir Geagea and his Lebanese Forces Party. Waddah also says that Hezbollah fighters ran away. They were only interested in the money. This should debunk our perception of Iran-led "resistance" fighters as being ideological, whether Hamas or Hezbollah. These people are unemployed and join terrorist organizations mainly because of unemployment. Now that we know that Tehran has cashed more than $200 billion since Biden came to power, it'd be wise to reconsider how "de-escalation" might work: Not by holding back our allies from fighting back but by strangling the source of terrorism and belligerence.

Tuesday, Concordia 2025: - Arabs view peace as a prize Israel should beg for. Contrast with Abraham Accords that offer mutual benefits for Arabs and Israel. - Treat peace as a tool, not the end. Signing peace first allows resolving issues as friends, not enemies. - Syria’s Sharaa does not align with Abraham Accords. He follows the old model, placing peace after several conditions like convincing the nonexistent Arab and Islamic public opinion. In these countries, there is no public opinion. People believe what their leaders want them to.

In pro #Israel rallies, you always find the Israeli flag next to the flag of the host country. In anti #Israel rallies, you always find the Palestinian flag instead of the flag of the host country, which is sometimes shunned and even burnt.

I rooted for Saudi Arabia for decades, especially for Vision 2030 and plan to copy the Dubai model and normalize ties with Israel. But starting a year ago, Saudi reversed course. I can’t tell why. Only explanation is that 2030 failed and economy faces headwinds, therefore Saudi reverted to anti-Israel populism.

Emirati Arab Cast host Jamal Al-Mulla spills the beans: When any Arab government wants not to take a position on anything, it inserts the Palestine Cause into its statement. Jamal says that in 1991, after Iraq invaded Kuwait, Palestinian leader Arafat said in a speech before the Arab League that "the Kuwaiti problem will be solved only after the Palestinian Cause." Palestine was a cause, but Kuwait -- invaded and burnt down by a fellow Arab country -- was only a problem. In 1991, only 12 out of 22 Arab League members voted against Iraq, six Gulf countries and the six others were bought off by wealthy Gulf governments. This round, the line is even clearer since aggression is not by an Arab League member against another, but by a non-Arab foreign country against Arab countries, and yet, the Arab League is shameful and so are countries like Iraq, Algeria, Sudan's Burhan government and West Libya government. The Gulf is hurt and will not forget how fellow Arab countries let it down, like always citing Palestine as a distraction. When the shooting stops, I expect a few Gulf countries to rush to normalization with Israel. My money is on Kuwait, perhaps Saudi Arabia too.

After #Israel respects going back to 1974 ceasefire, #Syria will consider talking further to Israel over the Golan (toward peace). But then he added that current Arab peace treaties, including Abraham Accords, are government-to-government and not people-to-people because the Arab and Islamic street is not on board (and currently inflamed over Gaza). These treaties should be revised (to become more genuine and reflect “Arab street”). So, here you have it, no bilateral Syrian peace with Israel (like Abraham Accords), and no peace with Israel without Syria getting back the Golan.

On Shams TV قناة شمس: - Houthis have parted ways with Iran. Their participation in the war was ceremonial. They hope to be rewarded with legitimacy as rulers of Yemen eventually. - Hamas is gone and rules half of the Gaza Strip with light weapons only. - Iranian proxies in Iraq showed poor performance in the war. The Iraqi government confronted them, and now their political position has become much weaker. - The only Iranian proxy that executed Iran's instructions and jumped into the war was Hezbollah, but it has been enormously weakened. If Iran agrees to US terms, it’ll have to distance itself from the Lebanese militia, which will become easy prey for the Lebanese state.

Dear Western media and academics: The video below, by one of Hezbollah's founders Imad Mughniyah, dispels the myth that the pro-Iran militia was founded as a reaction to Israeli invasion and occupation of Lebanon. What Mughniyah says is that Hezbollah's spread in Lebanon as an Islamist movement is independent of "resistance" that is a temporary tactic. Hezbollah is an Islamist society with deep roots in Lebanon and that no one can uproot. To understand the problem of why "Hezbollah being part of the Lebanese fabric" is a huge problem, replace the word Islamist with the word Nazi.
