  • U.S.-Iran Relationship
    “Chickenshit”: U.S. officials tells us what they really think about Benjamin Netanyahu

    U.S. media coverage of the most recent war in Gaza was notably more critical than during similar incidents in the past. Young Americans are more critical of Israel than their parents, and tomorrow’s Republican leaders may not be quite as ironclad in their support of the Jewish state as today’s are. In the years to come, then, anonymous sniping could feel quaint—a reminder of when the two countries cared enough about their relationship not to insult each other openly.

  • Lebanon and Syrian Refugees
    Lebanon Cabinet votes to stop accepting Syrian refugees

    The Cabinet’s decision will “stop the flow of all Syrian refugees except those with an exceptional humanitarian case,” Joreige said. Also, the UN refugee agency will need an approval from the Ministry of Social Affairs before registering any Syrian national as a refugee. The minister also said the government would encourage "refugees to return home or to go to any other country by all possible means.” The plan also calls for dropping the refugee status of anyone who set foot on Syrian territory.

    Islamic State militants allegedly used chlorine gas against Iraqi security forces

    Chlorine bombs are an easy-to-create but inexact weapon, experts say. All that is needed is a small explosive charge to rupture containers filled with the substance. “It’s difficult to deliver on target in combat situations,” said Jean Pascal Zanders, an independent researcher who specializes in chemical and biological weapons and disarmament. “Chlorine dissipates fast unless someone is able to concentrate it in a confined area.” Fighters in Duluiyah say it was not the only time chlorine has been used against them. Another attack this month caused minor injuries, and the fighters were treated locally, police officials said.
