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.

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.

Red Flag -- New #Syria ruler Ahmed Sharaa signals to a woman to cover her hair. If the revolution was not about liberty, it was not worth all the sacrifice.

At a presser in Lebanon, Amb. Tom Barrack broke with 27 years of bipartisan U.S. consensus that Hezbollah is a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). "Hezbollah is a political party and it also has a militant aspect to it. Hezbollah needs to see that there is a future for them, that that road is not harnessed just solely against them," Barrack said. While some European governments distinguish between Hezbollah's political and military wings, successive U.S. administrations (Republican and Democratic) insisted that Hezbollah is a single terrorist organization. In December 2015, after the Iran nuclear deal, President Obama signed the Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act, approved in Congress by a sweeping 422-0 vote.

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.

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!

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.
