[Bias alert - NYT usually favors Israel]

By Roger Cohen Nov. 26, 2025

[on-site, in-depth report from Lebanon, with many photos]

Abbas Fakhr al-Din, the soft-spoken mayor of Nabatieh, a city in southern Lebanon, sat beneath a portrait of Ahmad Kahil, a doctor and his predecessor. Dr. Kahil was killed in an Israeli strike on the municipal building on Oct. 16, 2024, that took the lives of 16 people in all. The rubble remains.

I asked Mr. al-Din if he was afraid. “No,” he said. “I have to be with my people through good times and bad.”

Nabatieh and the surrounding area continue to be hit by intermittent Israeli strikes, killing people and heightening the sense that the cease-fire is even less stable than Lebanon’s battered buildings. To the mayor’s eyes, American strategy is devoted solely to support of Israel.

They need to get some real air defenses. Israel would be seriously knee-capped if they have to fight face-to-face rather than from the air.

    Liberal Zionist propaganda asking if Israel's "war" has hurt it's image and ignoring the deliberate act of genocide.

    Speaking to hippy colonists and ignoring people in Lebanon living in terror from Zionist drones.

    The politicians in Beirut may be whores to Jewish supremacists but the sha3b will never accept an apartheid colony of racists in Palestine.
