كانت هذه الدقائق الأخيرة في الخطاب الأخير لحسن نصرالله قبل مقتله بثمانية أيام. استمعوا اليه يهدد إسرائيل ويقول أنها لن تستطيع اقامة حزام أمني في جنوب لبنان وانها اذا فعلت ذلك، فان ميليشيا نصرالله ستحول الحزام الى وحول وفخ وجحيم وكذلك شمال إسرائيل. حصل عكس كل ما وعد به نصرالله. من يحاسب هذا الانسان وميليشيا حزب الله والجمهورية الاسلامية الإيرانية على هذا الفشل الذريع؟ يمضون أيامهم وهم يسخرون كيف آذت هذه الحرب أو تلك شعبية ترامب أو نتنياهو ويسخرون عندما يخرج المقترعون هؤلاء الزعماء من الحكم لمحاسبتهم. أما إيران وميليشياتها، فوهم جماعي وتخدير للشعوب ووعود فاشلة، ولا محاسبة، بل استمرار في طريق البؤس والشقاء والفشل نفسه ونفس الكلام الببغائي الخشبي المعفن تبع انتظرناهم من الغرب فجاؤوا من الشرق وحلل يا دويري وسهم حماس الأحمر التافه. على الأقل الفاشل عبد الناصر اعترف بنكسته. ايران والاسلامويون لا يعترفون بأي فشل أو هزيمة، فقط بطولات وهمية وهزائم مدوية.

Shortly after October 7, Saudi channel Al-Arabiya interviewed Hamas chief Khaled Mishaal. Interviewer Rasha Nabil tried to corner him by blaming Hamas for launching an attack on Israel when it knew what the Israeli reaction would be. Meshaal’s response was that every nation sacrifices millions to liberate itself. He went on to count: Russians lost 30 million vs Hitler, Vietnamese and Afghanis vs America, Algeria lost six million against France. So 70,000, the number of casualties in Gaza War commonly cited, remains far from what Hamas has in mind. And the number of war victims can be also used to vilify Israel along the way. And Hezbollah teaches the Lebanese the same thing, that “martyrdom on the way to liberate Jerusalem” must be celebrated and that the living should not mourn the dead but be festive. Only America is asked to stop their death by forcing Israel not to respond to Hamas and Hezbollah killing of Israelis.

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.

The Lebanese are fighting back. This Hezbollah motorbike rally was waving its flags, honking and passing through the Saqiyat Al-Janzeer (non-Shia hood) in Beirut. The local resistance stopped the bikes and started beating the Hezbollah thugs and chasing them away. Only if the Iranians did this to their basij…

Great news from Yemen today. Saudi-supported government have retaken Al-Mokha and other areas, sent Houthi fighters fleeing. Saudi should only stop when they’ve taken Saadah. Other good news, Kepler reports energy exports through Hormuz Strait are above pre-war levels for the first time since Feb. 28, and Iran can do nothing about it. Waiting for the news that says IRGC are fleeing from Tehran.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

Told سكاي نيوز عربية that disagreement over Sudan is now clear between America, on one hand, and Saudi, Turkey and Egypt, on the other. America's UN Amb Waltz and Africa Envoy Boulos put, in an op-ed, RSF and SAF on an equal footing, saying both are civil war criminals, that an arms embargo should be enforced on the two sides. America thinks RSF and SAF should hold a truce and move over, let other Sudanese lead Sudan, post civil war. Turkey, Saudi and Egypt disagree. Two weeks ago, Turkey received SAF deputy chief and promised more military support and weapons. Saudi signed on a document establishing a joint council with SAF, insisting publicly that it represents the legitimate government of Sudan, while Egypt allows Turkey to use its airbases to fly advanced drones that help out SAF in battling its opponents.
