HEZBOLLAH’S TYRANNICAL RULE WATCH Hezbollah’s Hostages: A Special Series Presented by The Free Press: Joseph Braude, The Free Press, Sept. 16, 2024 — Hezbollah—meaning “Party of God”—is an Islamist party, a terrorist group, an organized crime syndicate, and a proxy of Iran that for over four decades has spread destruction and death across the Middle […]
Ron Ben-Yishai Ynet News, Sept. 17, 2024 “Israeli security officials believe that Hezbollah has begun to attempt direct attacks inside Israeli territory due to a perceived loss of deterrence and the belief that no significant retaliation will take place as a result.” The detonation of pagers in Lebanon on Tuesday demonstrated to Hezbollah just how […]
TOI staff Times of Israel, Sept. 17, 2024 “Israel is gearing up for a major military operation in Lebanon, though not an all-out attack.” The security cabinet has updated its official goals for the ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza to include the objective of allowing residents of the north to return safely to their […]

I […]
Andrew Silow-Carroll Times of Israel, Sept. 1, 2024 “The Israel-Palestine conflict is very energizing for people who think about settler colonialism, because it’s the one place where you can move from theory to practice, and it’s a place where you can see all the things that you deplore historically in other countries actually taking place […]
