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.

Voice of Lebanon: Turning Just Questions into Muzzling Sword Will Not Go Unnoticed
Voice of Lebanon radio station on Saturday stood behind its presenter Nawal Lichaa Abboud who has been referred to the Publications Court based on a lawsuit filed by the Lebanese University President Fouad Ayyoub over an episode she had hosted to discuss the conditions of the state-run academic establishment.
“Once again, Voice of Lebanon finds itself in the struggle arena, defending the freedom of expression and opinion," read a statement issued by the radio station.
“Dr. Ayoub did a good job by resorting to the judiciary so that it would judge who's keen to respect the other's opinion and the one holding firm to a unilateral point of view."
The statement stressed that the questions asked by the host during her contested episode serve as a small sample of the numerous inquiries shrouding the Lebanese University and its presidency.
"Turning just and justified questions into a sword to silence the voice of truth will not go unnoticed," the statement stressed.
“Voice of Lebanon only fulfilled its job by putting forward the people’s concerns," it affirmed. “No one will untie the bond between Voice of Lebanon and freedom."
