The Syrian town that Hezbollah almost starved to death
October 16, 2024 | Alana Schetzer
Israel’s assassination of some of the most senior leaders of the Hezbollah terror group, including its chief Hassan Nasrallah, was mourned by millions of Shi’ite Muslims and quietly celebrated by even larger numbers of Sunni Arabs. But for one group of people in a small mountain town in Syria, the elimination of Hezbollah’s senior leadership was especially sweet.
Understanding the “Ring of Fire”
November 6, 2024 | Colin Rubenstein
On October 26, Israel carried out its long-expected reprisal for Iran’s October 1 launch of some 200 ballistic missiles against Israel – the largest single ballistic missile attack by one nation against another in history. Israel’s response involved three waves of Israeli jets reportedly first hitting air defence facilities, and then drone and ballistic missile manufacturing and launch sites.
The Australian Government refuses to see UNRWA’s terrorism
October 31, 2024 | Justin Amler
What these Foreign Ministers have failed to understand is that UNRWA is not really an international aid agency, but an internationally-funded Palestinian entity (99% of UNRWA staff are Palestinian) complicit in terrorism, which masquerades as an international aid organisation, and an ineffectual one at that.

It has become increasingly clear the world views this conflict through two vastly different lenses.

But there is an alternate perception in which Israel is cast as the aggressor.

October 21, 2024 | Dave Rich
We can count the hate crimes and look in horror at the shameless return of medieval anti-Jewish tropes, but perhaps more significant is the shift in the language of the anti-Israel movement from occupation to colonialism, and the associated change in its focus from reversing Israel’s conquests in 1967 to erasing its foundation in 1948.
Securing a better post-war future for Lebanon
October 21, 2024 | Hanin Ghaddar
By failing to protect its top political and military figures, safeguard its core Shi’ite constituency, or secure its promised victory for the Iran-led “axis of resistance”, [Hezbollah] surrendered its claimed right to bear arms under the increasingly dubious pretence of protecting the country.
Biblio File: The failures, the heroes and the blood: The literature of October 7
October 21, 2024 | Calev Ben-Dor
We should not be overly surprised that as the anniversary of the Hamas massacre on October 7 was drawing closer, hundreds of thousands of words had been written to mark the event – 80 Hebrew-language books published in Israel so far – to help us better understand that day.
