books Nabil Boumonsef: “The Bogeyman”… in our glorious history!
At the height of the calamities rolling over the heads of the Lebanese, there is bitter sarcasm regarding vocabulary that escapes the standards of traditional expression, especially since Lebanon is witnessing more than the repercussions of wars proliferating on its land, a danger in the explosion of hysteria of insults and hatred on social media, as if it were a burial announcement for the civilization of a country that had a great time.

And he wrote Ghassan Hajjar: Restrictions on media freedom in times of chaos
Today is the anniversary of the martyrs of the Lebanese press. None of the men of that period remained. Even newspapers dating back to that time turned their last page, with the closure of Al-Bairaq newspaper in 2011, which was founded by journalist Saeed Fadel Akl in 1911. Akl was a prominent journalist and one of the martyrs of journalism who was executed by Jamal Pasha on May 6, 1916. Newspapers in Lebanon continue in the midst of the storm, struggling, martyr, and witness, at the same time.

And he wrote Khairallah Khairallah: Iran’s conditions… like the victor’s conditions!
Did the Islamic Republic of Iran win its war with the United States and Israel in order to impose its conditions on them? The victor is the one who imposes his conditions at the end of wars. This is what happened at the end of World War II, in which the United States and its European allies defeated Germany and Japan. The result was the surrender of these two countries under American and Soviet terms in light of the role Moscow played in defeating Hitler’s armies.

And he wrote George Issa: Iran or Trump… who wins the chess of war?
Checkmate or “The King is Dead”. It is the most famous phrase in chess, copied from Persian: “Shah is dead.” The game moved to Persia after originating in India, where the phrase “Chaturanga” meant the four divisions of an army (infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots). In any case, the Iranians seem to have a clear imprint on the game of chess. Will they transfer that imprint to the field? Is it even possible to transfer it to the field?
