When I had first heard that Hizballah constructed Mleeta, an interactive museum that showcases 24 years of resistance against Israel and her Lebanese collaborators, I did not know what to expect. Although countless articles were written about the facility shortly after it opened in May 2010, I knew that I could only satisfy my curiosity by visiting the site myself.

The Israeli publicity machine has effectively framed this murderous spree against Palestinians and Hamas in Gaza as a reasoned, defensive measure. Even though it has killed 350 [...]
Insinuating that electricity cut-offs and utter destruction of infrastructure could be in Lebanon’s future, Israeli General Lieutenant Dan Halutz’s before-shock of a statement was the precusor to the military earthquake unleashed on a Beirut airport last night and just bombed a main Lebanese highway.
