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.

Gemayel Blasts Economic Part of Middle East Peace Plan
Kataeb MP Nadim Gemayel on Sunday criticized the economic part of the U.S. peace plan for the Middle East that was unveiled on Saturday, stressing that Lebanon is not a "real estate company".
The White House released a $50 billion economic plan that would create a global investment fund to lift the Palestinian and neighboring Arab state economies.
The “peace to prosperity” plan, set to be presented by White House senior adviser Jared Kushner at an international conference in Bahrain next week, includes 179 infrastructure and business projects.
More than half of the $50 billion funds would be spent in the Palestinian territories over 10 years while the rest would be split between Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan.
Lebanon would get $6 billion, according to the plan.
“Mr. Kushner, it is time for you to realize that we did not sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of martyrs for billions of dollars in exchange for settling the Palestinians and others in Lebanon,” Gemayel wrote on Twitter.
“Peoples' issues are not addressed with money, but by giving them rights, independence and sovereignty,” he added.
