The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

New Movies on Disney Plus in June 2021
Disney Plus hosts content from a range of places, from National Geographic to Pixar and Marvel. New original content on Disney Plus tends to be TV series, such as the High School Musical show and Marvel TV series like WandaVision. But there are also a load of hit movies coming to the platform this week.
Raya and the Last Dragon
Raya and the Last Dragon has technically been on Disney Plus for a while, but only as a premium download.
Now, the movie will be coming to the free section of the streaming platform, while it is also out in cinemas to watch on the big screen.
The official synopsis reads: “Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Raya and the Last Dragon travels to the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons lived together in harmony long ago.
“But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity.
“Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people.
“However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world—it’s going to take trust and teamwork as well.”
Kelly Marie Tran and Awkwafina star in voice roles.
Luca
Luca is an entirely new children’s film from Disney Pixar and features young actors Jacob Tremblay and Jack Dylan Grazer in the main roles.
The official synopsis reads: “Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film Luca is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides.
“Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.”
Loki
While it is not a film, Loki will continue the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a big way.
The film follows a 2012 Loki, thus one who has not learned to share or grow close to his brother Thor, after the events of Avengers Endgame thrust him into a new timeline in the multiverse.
Expect this to be full of twists and turns, and hopefully some brilliant cameos as well.
