The Houthi Alternative for Lebanon

1 day ago | english.aawsat.com | Hazem Saghieh |Amir Taheri |Osman Mirghani |Emile Ameen

The Houthis resemble a boxer who, whenever he thinks he is about to strike his opponent, finds himself on the receiving end of devastating blows. However, despite his broken nose, gouged-out eye, and the blood pouring from his face, he refuses to leave the ring. Such behavior is met with glorification and veneration by the Resistance Axis.
Iran-US: The Fountain Pen Diplomacy

1 day ago | english.aawsat.com | Amir Taheri |Osman Mirghani |Emile Ameen |Abdulrahman al-Rashed

Will they, won’t they? This is the question that those interested in current talks between Tehran and Washington on Iran’s nuclear program are darting around in the hope of getting a straight answer. Public statements from both sides offer no clear answer. President Donald Trump seems confident that an accord that reflects his wishes is well on the way to conclusion. He is even musing about a golden age of prosperity that awaits Iranians once the accord is signed.

Israel’s crushing victory in its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon last year is considered one of its military triumphs, ranked alongside the Six-Day War victory in 1967. Meanwhile, its operations against the Houthis in Yemen, so far, have been more theatrical than effective, resembling its 2006 war in Lebanon. This, despite the fact that the armed group has no air defense capabilities or a missile arsenal to strike back.
Immigration Has Always Been Complex

The story of Chinese Americans really gets going with one of the great early episodes of globalization. The discovery of gold in California in 1848, brought tens of thousands of fortune seekers from around the world, including some from China. What happened next is the sort of history that many schools, states and the Trump administration have lately deemed dangerous and divisive. Chinese people and their descendants helped to build the country while also enduring generations of abuse.
Hezbollah: The Causes and Functions of Delirium

4 days ago | english.aawsat.com | Hazem Saghieh |Nadim Koteich |Choe Sang-Hun |Eyad Abu Shakra

Doctors and analysts agree that delirium is a sudden change in the brain function that leads to disturbance and mental confusion. It often results from a transformation the body is subjected to; it could be surgery or withdrawal that follows long-term alcohol abuse. One of the more acute symptoms of delirium is inattention and reduced awareness of one’s surroundings; the delirious can sometimes forget who he is, where he is, and what he is doing there.
Will a Strike Supersede the Nuclear Deal?

4 days ago | english.aawsat.com | Nadim Koteich |Choe Sang-Hun |Eyad Abu Shakra |Sam Menassa

The recent spike in leaked intelligence assessments warning that the Israeli military could strike Iran’s nuclear facilities should the ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran fall through, is redrawing the red lines around what Israel considers an “existential threat” amid sweeping regional and international shifts. Talk of an “imminent strike” is not limited to speculation in the media any longer, and it is not another round of the war of words between the two sides.
South Korea’s Election Likely to Reset Ties with China

4 days ago | english.aawsat.com | Choe Sang-Hun |Eyad Abu Shakra |Sam Menassa |Ghassan Charbel

If the front-runner for the presidential election on Tuesday wins, South Korea is likely to enter a major course correction in its diplomacy to improve ties with North Korea and China. South Korea’s relations with North Korea and China became increasingly strained under former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was expelled from office in April following his short-lived imposition of martial law.
The One Way Trump Hasn’t Changed the G.O.P.

5 days ago | english.aawsat.com | Choe Sang-Hun |Eyad Abu Shakra |Sam Menassa |Ghassan Charbel

By general consensus, if the policies of President Trump’s first administration were a compromise between his impulses and the doctrines of the pre-Trump Republican Party, then Trump 2.0 is Trumpism in full. The old order is dissolved, the Bush and Reagan Republicans are exiled or subjugated, and Trump alone sets the agenda for the G.O.P.There are clearly areas where this is true.
Is The 1948 War Over? Yes and No

1 week ago | english.aawsat.com | Hazem Saghieh |Amir Taheri |Hanna Saleh |Tariq Al-Homayed

The State of Israel emerged in 1948, and its emergence was accompanied by a war and the expulsion of the Palestinian population. Its birth thus became the foundational act that precipitated many subsequent wars and, eventually, the “Arab-Israeli conflict.” However, its emergence was also foundational to the rise of military regimes and radical ideologies in the Levant.
From the Greek Stable Boy to Josef Mengele?

1 week ago | english.aawsat.com | Amir Taheri |Hazem Saghieh |Hanna Saleh |Tariq Al-Homayed

In one of his memorable comments on the current state of Europe, the late Pope Francis expressed the wish that in a world gripped by turmoil and war the old continent becomes a field hospital for victims from the four corners of the globe. The comment implies that real or imagined victimhood provides anyone with a seat at the high table of privileges cast as human rights.
