REMEMBERING FADLALLAH

NOVANEWS Lebanon's Grand AyatollahMohammed Hussein Fadlallah, a leading Shiite figure, has died at the age of 75 yesterday. The religious leader, with a huge following, was remembered by bloggers from across the region. Lebanon declared three days of mourning in respect. Lebanese Dr As'ad AbuKhalil from The Angry Arab News Service shares some information he got first-hand from Fadulallah: I am still in Doha and don't have time to write an essay about Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah. But much of the writings (not only in English) is missing many elements about his background and thought. In his early years in Najaf, where his father `Abdur-Ra'uf Fadlallah was a teacher, he was very much disturbed, as he once told me, by the strength of the communists in that country. The conflict with the commun...

BEING AN IRAQI IN LEBANON

NOVANEWS The Iraq war has produced nightmares for generations: When one mentions refugees in Lebanon, one usually thinks about the estimated 300,000 Palestinians who live here in appalling social and economic conditions. But an estimated 50,000 Iraqis have sought refuge in Lebanon in the last few years, most of them without legal status and in constant fear of arrest. Like Jordan and Syria, Lebanon does not have a refugee law and accordingly treats most Iraqis as illegal immigrants, regardless of their need to be protected as refugees.

SYRIA AND HIZBULLAH

NOVANEWS Syria and Hizbullah in Lebanon have raised their preparedness for an Zio_Nazi attack, according to the London-based Arabic newspaper Ash-Sharq il-Awsat. The newspaper says Hizbullah is worried by the concentration of Zionist troops along the Lebanese border ahead of maneuvers, even if Deputy Secretary-General Naim Kassam stressed that it was impossible to say for sure that the attack would be soon. Hamas has limited military capabilities overseas but can rely on other terrorist groups, such as Hizbullah, as part of its effort to strike at Zionist in retaliation for last month’s assassination in Dubai of one of its top operatives, which has been attributed to the Mossad. Unlike Hizbullah, defense officials noted on Sunday, Hamas does not have much experience operating overseas. Hiz...

HIZBULLAH & UAE

NOVANEWS When I was in Lebanon last January, I learned so many things that I forgot to report on so many things. I will be there in late May, so I will learn more. Here is another one that I forgot about. I was talking to a friend the other day, and he reminded me of the story that I had told him in Beirut in January (in light of the Dubai assassination and the high-profile role of the Dubai chief of police.) Months ago (in 2009), the UAE sent a very high envoy to Beirut on a secret mission to meet with Hasan Nasrallah. The man met with Hasan Nasrallah for several hours. His message from UAE rulers was that they want Hizbullah to use its influence among the Shi`ites of the Gulf to prevent disturbances in the event of an Israeli/US war on Iran. I am told, that what the man heard from Nasral...
