In the drugs and arms trade, is Iran getting away with murder?

Baria Alamuddin

Possibly one of the biggest scandals of the Obama administration was the blocking of active investigations into Hezbollah and Iran’s complicity in the deadly global trade in drugs and armaments. Former US Treasury official Katherine Bauer testified that these investigations were “tamped down for fear of rocking the boat with Iran and jeopardizing the nuclear deal.” In recent days, the

Ahed Tamimi: Palestinian heroism in microcosm

Baria Alamuddin

There could be no better metaphor for the injustices of the occupation than the case of Ahed Tamimi. This courageous young activist faces the possibility of life in prison for slapping two heavily armed Israeli troopers. Ahed furiously confronted them after security personnel shot her young cousin at close range with a rubber bullet, damaging his skull. When a video

Crackdown won’t prevent change from coming to Iran

Baria Alamuddin

Decade after decade, the Islamic Republic of Iran has experienced regular explosions of popular anger: Mass student protests in 1999, the Green Movement in 2009 — and now 2018. How do these latest protests differ from what came before? Whereas previous protest movements erupted out of relatively privileged circles in Tehran, these latest demonstrations saw a grassroots uprising from poverty-stricken

Spotting glimmers of hope amidst the darkness

Baria Alamuddin

For those who care passionately about world events, there hasn’t been much to feel optimistic about throughout 2017. Across the Western world, we witnessed the unleashing of xenophobic and anti-globalist tendencies: Liberal Europe was menaced by a spectrum of fascist and authoritarian tendencies and the right-wing of Britain’s Conservative Party sought to hijack the Brexit negotiations for departing the EU.

It is time Lebanese media remembered what their job is

Diana Moukalled

Lebanese media is in such a state these days that Lebanese TV channels are being ridiculed on social media as “Manar 1” and “Manar 2,” suggesting that their coverage of recent events is a poor copy of the Hezbollah Party affiliate Manar TV. Most Lebanese media have united behind “war media,” the military media wing of Hezbollah, and have abandoned

Yemen’s implosion endangers global trade

Baria Alamuddin

The Yemen war is often regarded as a remote, localized conflict in Saudi Arabia’s backyard. But US military strategists warn that developments in Yemen pose a geostrategic threat to world trade and the regional balance of power. For those concerned with global shipping, the Suez Canal and Bab Al-Mandab at either end of the Red Sea represent two vital chokepoints.

Palestinians and the ‘battle of empty stomachs’

Diana Moukalled

The Palestinians are now embarking on a new course in their conflict with Israel. More than two weeks ago, some 1,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails began an open-ended hunger strike, refraining from eating any food and only drinking water mixed with salt, to protest the deteriorating conditions of the prisons. The hunger strike has so far caused the death

The stealthy Hezbollahzation of Iraq

Baria Alamuddin

Experts disagree about the date when Hezbollah came into being. It emerged out of the shadows, and suddenly in 1983 was responsible for bombings that killed hundreds of peacekeeping forces in Beirut. We Lebanese were similarly bemused by this entity that gained a stranglehold on our society. As the civil war ended, instead of demobilizing like other militias, Hezbollah expanded

Sanctions against Hezbollah

Diana Moukalled

In its responses to questions regarding its sources of funding, Hezbollah has always said it does not deal with Lebanese banks. Its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah once said the money comes directly from Iran. These statements contain some truth, as security agencies at the ports and airports are allied with Hezbollah and so may easily permit it to pass through weapons

Media’s poisoned narrative over Syria atrocity

Diana Moukalled

“Syrian Army eliminates tens of terrorists in chemical warehouse.” So read the headline of a Tunisian leftist newspaper following the poisonous gas attack in Khan Sheikhun in Syria’s Idlib province, which resulted in the death of dozens of people, including many children. Once again, we find ourselves confronted by elements of the Arab media that do not see, nor wish

Will Iraq re-embrace its Arab roots?

Baria Alamuddin

It has recently been a cause for great optimism to see the Arab world rediscovering Iraq, but how ready is Iraq to rediscover the Arab world? The keynote development was the visit of Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir in late February, the first visit by a Saudi foreign minister since 1990. This led to an intensification of diplomatic activity, not

Israel can shoot the messenger, but cannot kill the message

Baria Alamuddin

Most of the world’s media conveniently missed the fact that a UN agency earlier this month issued a report describing Israel as an “apartheid regime.” The report used the word “apartheid” in its strictest sense under international law, defining it as a crime against humanity. The consequences were predictable: Pro-Israel groups furiously mobilized; the UN secretary-general ordered the deletion of
