I've written about my problems with Hezbollah maybe a dozen times over a decade. None of that changes the fact that unless given an alternative, it is ludicrous to expect people to just accept being militarily occupied and humiliated time and time again.

2026-08-26 07:17:03 GMT

Really good piece. Reinforces an argument I've also been making on how the Lebanese army was repeatedly weakened by the Americans to make sure that it cannot confront Israel, and this goes back decades. While that remains a fact, there will always be a need for a Hezbollah or a Hezbollah-like group.

I think “remigration” discourse needs to also be understood as an attempt to render migrant and racialised workers more precarious, in addition to being (obviously) racist.
They still want workers to come. They just want them to have little to no rights and be easily deportable, like in the UAE.

This was 4 days ago. This Lebanese man had to bury his 4 daughters, aged 6 to 13 (Zaina, Zahra, Malika and Yasmine), his mum, his dad, his nephew, his brother and his brother-in-law.

Whenever the Gaza Health Ministry was cited they were called 'the Hamas-run Health Ministry' to make us all doubt the numbers. Now even Israel accepts the official death toll, because that's how confident Netanyahu is that he'll face no consequences.
The real death toll is, obviously, much higher.

One of my eternal frustrations will always be how often politicians claim to do 'realpolitik' when they are in fact just being cowards. They are not being 'realists' in appeasing the man who said he wants to annex Greenland. They're just hoping he won't do it.
