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.

As Ill-Advised as It May Be, Netflix Is Inviting You to Cook with Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton and Netflix are getting into the kitchen together and hoping the result is, well, so hot.
Neither party, however, are under the delusion that the forthcoming show, "Cooking with Paris," will showcase gourmet grub. In fact, they're seemingly counting on it being a little bit of a can't-look-away disaster -- not unlike her viral cooking video from January 2020.
Described by Netflix as "the traditional cooking show upside down," "Cooking with Paris" will have the heiress showing off her "very newly domesticated side and welcoming us into her kitchen while she learns to sauté, sear and zest."
"She's not a trained chef and she's not trying to be," a press release says. "With the help of her celebrity friends, she navigates new ingredients, new recipes and exotic kitchen appliances. Inspired by her viral YouTube video, Paris will take us from the grocery store to the finished table spread - and she might actually learn her way around the kitchen."
The six-episode first season premieres August 4.
