Hizballah intends to ensure they serve their sentences in absentia as well, and there appears to be no political will in Lebanon to demand otherwise. One of those indicted has boasted that authorities know where he lives, but cannot arrest him. The track record so far calls into question whether “all reasonable steps” were really […]
Hizballah on U.N. chief’s call to disarm: No.
As noted here, it will take more than asking once to make that happen. “Hezbollah rejects call by U.N.’s Ban to disarm,” by Dominic Evans for Reuters, January 14: BEIRUT (Reuters) – Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah dismissed on Saturday a United Nations call for his militant anti-Israel movement to disarm, saying it was determined […]
How about that: U.N. chief tells Lebanon to disarm Hizballah
Weird stuff happens on Friday the 13th, you know. Here, someone actually remembered U.N. Resolution 1559, after which Hizballah was the only group from the Lebanese civil war that failed to disarm. For that matter, it was the U.N. Secretary-General who remembered. It will take more than asking once, however, to dismantle the army of […]

One wounded in southern Lebanon by rocket fired toward Israel that didn’t quite make it
Hallmark doesn’t make a “Thanks for Understanding, We Were Aiming at the Infidels” card. It would have to have a tidy little pocket for diyya, or blood money allowed under Sharia. “One person wounded in south Lebanon by rocket,” from Reuters, December 11: BEIRUT (Reuters) – One person was injured in southern Lebanon Sunday when […]
Hizballah aims to “reassure” about its intentions in Lebanon, makes vague statement that says nothing
The good news here is that for a moment, Lebanon has remembered its identity separate from being the host to Hizballah’s parasitic pseudo-state, and has agreed to contribute its share of funding to the UN Special Tribunal investigating the Hariri assassination, for which four Hizballah members have been indicted. Hizballah tried to create a diversion […]
Report: If Assad falls, Hizballah may attempt to take Beirut
Hizballah has for some time been a parasitic pseudo-state within Lebanon, complete with its own armed forces, and has slowly been working to devour its host. An attempt to take Beirut would be a rather logical progression of events, unfortunately. Would Hizballah face any resistance from the Lebanese armed forces? “If Assad falls, Hezbollah will […]
Lebanon: Bombs target nightclub at hotel, liquor store in Christian area
Spontaneous Sharia enforcement. These attacks are less likely to be the work of Hizballah, which is busily devouring the Lebanese state from within, and more likely to be some other jihadist group. “Blasts target nightclub, alcohol shop in south Lebanon,” from Agence France-Presse, November 16: Two bombs targeting a nightclub and a liquor store exploded […]
Surprise: Hizballah-dominated Lebanese government withholding its share of funding to UN tribunal investigating Hariri assassination
The tribunal indicted four Hizballah members for Hariri’s death, and said they may be linked to other assassinations. This development is another indication that the parasitic pseudostate of Hizballah continues to succeed in devouring its host. “US warns Lebanon over Hariri court funding,” from Agence France-Presse, November 5: A top US official on Saturday warned […]
Lebanon: We don’t know where indicted Hizballah members are. Indicted Hizballah member: They know where I live, but they can’t arrest me.
Lebanon is dying, its sovereignty now symbolic. It is the name on the mailbox, but Syria and Iran run the house, via Hizballah. More on this story. “Lebanon denies report it knows location of Hariri killers,” from the Jerusalem Post, August 20: Lebanese state prosecutor Saeed Mirza on Saturday denied reports made by one of […]
