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.

European Super League Battle Wages on: UEFA Will Not Withdraw Sanctions
UEFA believe they can win their legal case against the clubs involved in the ongoing fallout from the European Super League project.
Aleksander Ceferin's organisation will not bow to the orders of the Madrid court which stipulated last Friday that all sanctions against the clubs involved should be rolled back.
The court also ruled that UEFA should take back all other measures taken against the Italian and English clubs involved.
The case is now set to be heard by the European Union's Justice Court in Luxembourg, who will give their judgement on UEFA's control of football in Europe.
LaLiga president Javier Tebas declared his surprise at the chain of events and posted an article on Twitter which summarised the situation.
"The judge confirmed that none of the 12 clubs have given up on the Super League," it read, this in spite of the founding clubs giving public statements to the contrary.
"The Super League project continues with the involvement of all the founding clubs and the statements made are insufficient."
