ISRAEL
Emoji75,000 people from communities closest to the Lebanese border are still under mandatory evacuation orders. More than 250,000 people still living in communities like Rosh Pina, Nahariya, and Tzfat — just beyond that evacuation zone —have also had their lives dramatically upended.
LEBANON
EmojiHezbollah launched 320 rockets at Israeli civilians during the Yom Kippur holiday and to this day continues to launch missiles
EmojiIran and Hezbollah knew in advance of Hamas 10/7 attack https://www.jns.org/secret-documents-reveal-iran-hezbollah-knew-of-oct-7-plan/
EmojiHezbollah can be destroyed – by following the money. Some 40% of Hizbullah's revenues come from trading Captagon. International cooperation is also needed to check the Lebanese banking system, which allows Hizbullah to launder the profits from drug trafficking.
EmojiHezbollah terrorists are using UNIFIL outposts as hiding places and as places of ambushes. The UN's insistence on keeping the UNIFIL soldiers in the line of fire is incomprehensible. Between an IDF pillbox and a UN position, Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon found a tunnel shaft. 'There's a compound here every meter,' says one of the soldiers. It's hard to ignore the sense that someone fell asleep on guard duty. 
Remember when: 5 men linked to Hezbollah were charged for killing an Irish UNIFIL member in mid 2023.  I bet not.

EmojiThe Strange Story of the Palestinian Flag
Ths Palestinian flag was designed by British imperialist Sir Martin Sykes. In World War I, the British wanted local Arabs to rebel against Turkish rule. The Turks were allied with Germany. Sir Martin Sykes designed all the Arab flags as part of a British plan to get Arabs to fight Turkish rule. https://www.meforum.org/mef-online/the-strange-story-of-the-palestinian-flag see also https://johndizard.substack.com/p/the-origin-of-the-palestinian-flag
EmojiThe networks Sinwar cultivated and the ideology he championed remain alive and well, continuing to pose a threat far beyond the borders of Israel. To understand the persistence of Hamas, one must look beyond Sinwar to its enablers. Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Iran have been sustaining Hamas for years. To truly weaken Hamas, the West must confront those who underwrite its violence. To understand the true scope of this threat and why it must be confronted with a global response, read WBII's comprehensive portrait of Sinwar and listent to this interview with Mosab Hasan Yousef. Ending organizations like Hamas requires more than leader elimination; it involves convincing terrorists and militants that their war goals are unattainable, leading them to consider disarmament.
