Covering Lebanon and occasionally MENA's conflicts. And currently, the war in Palestine.

Lebanon is a prime example of what an extractive closed market economy is.

An extractive economy that is only surviving because Lebanese are resourceful...just barely enough

Tax on solar panels, tax on bullion, tax on everything, and zero economic planning or any prospects of growth or vision

The Lebanese people are failures, and their diaspora is simply just good enough at being outsource employees who can offer a good enough service that is better than others in the region

It's pathetic, not even sad. Failure is an option and it's so disgusting to me seeing failure of people and leadership. Repulsed at any human who lacks productivity and thinks of his individual gain over the collective good of the community.

How do you still have self respect if you fail in your job?

Regardless I'm quite happy.

The failure is reaching its unprecedented peak and the Lebanese quality of life is reaching the worst absolute bottom while a Pro-USA pro-Arab anti-Hezbullah President and Prime Minister rule this shithole.

I'm quite comfortable that the minister of Justice, electricity, Interior ministry and even public affairs are all from the anti-Hezbullah camp and are allies of our enemies.

This is your chance...you failed and showed us how badly you failed. Showed us how bad leaning to what you want us to lean to is.

The Shia community is badly wounded and in pain.

I'm in pain over this community and sad over what some are doing towards Hezbullah.

But genuinely, my heart is calm knowing God will take care of who Stayed Hassan loved dearly

Sayyed Hassan was a saint. A man like no others. He was to be worshiped.

His words will be reality again with time and the community will recover and its wounds heal.

God promises this. I have faith in his promise.

Guys, wellness is sweet after pain. The good sleep after sickness. The rest after a tummy ache.

It's going to be alright

When your in a hole, stop digging

One day in life, humans will discover that many of the so-called technological advances were never worth it and that the small mathematical and engineering problems they were set to solve only created great human suffering.

That these new gadgets and machines and software weren't actually needed and were more of a poison-coated candy than the apple from Eden.

That we only increased human suffering, misery, loneliness and moral corruption. That we only drove societies into collapse, economies into extractive ways and greed beyond anything ever in all human history.

Technology is a blessing. It elevated the quality of human life. We are better than our previous generations. Medicine, communication, and information.

However there was a time and place where we should have drawn a line and said: We do not need this. Creating it is wrong. Humanity doesn't fair well with it.

See, human brains evolved but they are not so different than what they were countless of thousands of years ago. We are only today building up on the accumulation of knowledge and curiosity of those who were able to think before us

For that, what we are doing today to our souls and brains is torture, and nothing short of over simulation and driving our own well being into an abyss.

Creating the rifle to replace the sword was humanly sane.

Creating the nuke to replace a traditional bomb is humanly corrupt.

Creating the phone to communicate from afar was humanely sane.

Creating Instagram to scroll through infinite photos that don't present real life and reels that over simulate your brain and emotions is humanely corrupt

Creating a website to share information faster alongside preserving physical media is humanely sane

Creating corruptive websites is morally inexcusable and humanly wrong.

Creating a machine for the barber to cut faster is humanly sane

Creating a taxi with no driver is humanely corrupt and increases loneliness

Creating media to learn from is humanely sane

Creating an AI that will answer trivial questions and block your thinking and pacify you while making you the product to be sold and the product to be spied on it doom

I hope you guys understand these words well and understand that the future is bleak.

Preserve physical media. Reduce your phone exposure. Embrace technology that preserves the rightful ways of traditional values and decline the corruption of those who seeks perfection that doesn't exist in a materialistic world ruled by a corrupt greedy elite that will survive anything..but not you

Read books, go on walks and socialize

Travel, observe and love nature and write in your own diaries.

Feel the physical world again and ditch digital nonsense that is flavorless.

The taste of labor is so different when you produce a real product

Everyone caving in, especially Iraqis, and putting a ban in the Iranian civilian airliners is just shameful and shows lack of Islamic morals.

I hope the Islamic republic in Iran survives these new major economic obstacles and ends this war with a deal that preserves its power and makes its economy flourish

As for the Iraqi state, I genuinely hope you can't export a single barrel of oil. Shameful bent cunts

Iran, Hezbullah, Iraqi resistance, Yemenis and so on, no matter the mishaps or the mistakes they have done have proved that no matter how much you preach people about dignity the majority will never accept it and they will forever accept sitting on the side and being bullied than risk losing some privileges and comfort.

The moral compass in this area is very clear.

The thing is, what are even the privileges and comfort our nations have for being idle? None. Failed states with failed leaders ruling over failed economies and laws.

I want to blame Arabs for being Arabs from a racist perspective until I prove myself wrong.

I love the meme that shows old Arab Gods vs European Gods. We used to worship a God made of dates, and when hungry ate it.

It's like they we or whatever have zero sense of direction or gravitation towards success. Towards building up a true Strong educated and clean nation.

Towards creating true effective laws that get enforced, towards educating people about the world and what matters, towards not having everyone to worry about basics and be able to think beyond.

Idk. Useless rant over. Curse upon Israel, may it be devasted. And may the sword of the U.S be broken so they can become another Canada.

I focus on cleanliness and trash because I hate when people cannot maintain clean houses or streets. It's a personal trigger for me.

Probably while I dislike South East Asians countries the most. Iraq, Yemen and parts of the Gulf and Levant are sometimes as dirty.

It just tells me, whoever throws trash on the floor is simply a dirty person of no moral compass. An indicator of how his core his corrupted because who is dirty in public is dirty at home

And a home? Is the foundation of a society and then a country.

And btw, global warming deniers are the new flat earthers. Science is real

The government trying to investigate the truck is the funniest thing ever.

The group already says it's theirs and the whole world knows.

What they are actually doing is trying to find particular people involved in the units that move assets to expose them on all Lebanese territory and issue warrants for some heads.

This information will be shared by the Lebanese army to the Lebanese state and then to the U.S

It also intends to foil future movement in support of Israeli goals. Lebanon is getting nothing in return.

I would like to highlight, that the Lebanese state's prisons like Israeli prisons are holding many Hezbullah members who were arrested during their work

Hezbullah has POWs in the hands of the traitorous Lebanese and Israeli states

This country is only edging closer to complete humiliation and degrace.

Remarkable how it only needed the degradation of Hezbullah for the rotten smell from the core of this people and country to reek so pungently

The Yemeni war is a sad war and its a painful show of Muslim on Muslim violence

This war should not continue and a peace should happen today before tomorrow. North and South Yemen is the way to go. How it was and how its best for both people.

Ill talk about this later on. Human life should not be cheap and it's pathetic how Muslims and Arabs are anything but Muslim and Arab.

However while the war goes on, i hope people set aside their low-IQ takes and hypocrisy.

Taez is not Madaya. Madaya is not even Madaya. Taez is not being shelled or attacked. Its a city under siege during war with almost zero civilian casualties inside it. The city isnt being attacked. How better can this be?

And today's attack on the camp that killed 50+ recruits. Why surprised? The southern forces are actively fighting in the Western coast and thus a target. The lives of those lost and unfortunately sadly killed are on the hands of those who had the choice of not fighting this futile war but decided to to satisfy foreign arrogance.

Why celebrate the foreign FPV, drone and jet attacks on Ansarullah as a war effort but condemn a missile attack on a military camp?

And at the end of the day, who more do they want to involve in this war aside from the Greek AD, hundreds of US and Israeli officers, Egyptians and before than thousands of foreign mercenaries.

أما بشأن العلاقة مع حزب الله، فأشار الرئيس بري إلى أن العلاقة كانت أقرب في أيام الأمين العام السابق للحزب السيد حسن نصرالله مشدداً على مبدأ عدم وجود أخ أكبر ولا أخ أصغر

ورد عن أمير المؤمنين (ع): "في تقلّب الأحوال عُلم جواهر الرّجال"..

It is extremely unfortunate that the Jordanians decided to avenge the murder of innocent Christian Jordanian worshipers by murdering Muslim Women and many children in their sleep in Syria

All that before due process, before knowing if this is a lone wolf cell or not.

What crime did these children do you bastards? Why did they deserve to die tonight

The terrorist attack that happened in Jordan was everything the Jordanian leadership organized over 11 years during the Syrian Civil war. They nourished it and armed it.

May God have Mercy on the innocent lives that were lost due to terrorism done by both a Takfiri (Jordan attack) and Liberal (Syria attack) Muslims.

Ah yes, LebUpdate and the illiterate people in the comments

I was calling the Jordanian AF that, unless by reading this sentence and doing the analysis you assumed and accepted(!) Me calling the Christians takfiri?

Jews shows the world Arabs voting in Israel in an attempt to refute the apartheid and the Jewish dominance

Yet the same Jews use Arab voting as a rallying point to get Jews to vote in bigger numbers because: Look, Arabs are voting to steal our democracy and attack Israel from within

And when a LOT of Arabs vote? It warrants an investigation by the internal security forces. Those pesky Arabs definitely voted because of Qatari and Turkish bribes.

A very nornal country, God Bless!

Patriots and THAAD for Israel and the massive new U.S Airbase there

Yet Arabs? Including KSA and other major U.S allies who put their own morals and religion to the side for the sake of the U.S are being forced to scramble and beg for air defenses

Greek, UK, Egyptian and even Bahraini AD and Jets are all working to fill gaps. But lets send Israel 10 extra planes to protect their even #1 AD system that surpasses the whole world's

The lack of deployment of the Lebanese army in Mayfadoun, a town that isnt in thr yellow occupation zone, is traitorous

Similar to the lovely town of Al-Mansouri that was surrendered by the Lebanese state, Mayfadoun is recently under real threat of occupation and full demolition.

There is still time.

Lebanese media people and even ministers are clapping for Mr Mansour here.

My issue? Is that Mansour created a platform of no added value to the US or Lebanese community.

They created a degenerate gambling betting website and nornalized it to the youth and young adults.

Gambling is not only only a sin, it is a major factor in mental health issues and degrading people's wellbeing.

Gambling should not be normalized.

Diagnoses of gambling disorder rose more than 60% since 2018 in states that have legalized sports betting, with the biggest increase among young men, according to a new study of electronic health records across the U.S.

Gambling disorder is a recognized mental health condition in which patients often cannot stop gambling, despite the growing distress and harm they experience.
