According to the Telegraph, “whistleblowers” at the Beirut International Airport stated that “they were concerned about increasing weapons supplies arriving on direct flights from Iran.” The Lebanese Air Transport Association swiftly denied the claims and is now suing: “Lebanon to sue The Telegraph over allegations of Iranian weapons at Beirut airport stored by Hezbollah,” by Naim Berjawi, Anadolu News Agency, June 24, 2024:
Lebanon has said it will file a lawsuit against the British daily The Telegraph over an article alleging the presence of Iranian weapons and missiles at Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport stored by the Lebanese group Hezbollah.
The newspaper’s article “seeks to tarnish the reputation of Beirut International Airport,” the country’s Public Works and Transport Minister Ali Hamieh told a news conference on Sunday.
He called on ambassadors and media outlets to visit the airport and refute the claims made by The Telegraph.
No immediate reaction was available from the daily as of yet.
On Sunday, The Telegraph, citing airport whistleblowers, said Hezbollah was storing huge quantities of Iranian weapons, missiles, and explosives at the airport.
Lebanon’s Transport Minister Ali Hamieh went into self-defense mode and called the Telegraph report part of a “psychological war” on Lebanon, designed to tarnish the reputation of Lebanon’s only international airport. Foreign diplomats from Egypt, Germany and the European Union showed up to tour the airport, which didn’t say much. They were diplomats who were given access to areas of choice to inspect, not trained weapons inspectors (who are themselves prone to trickery). Consider the weapons inspections that took place in Iraq in 2021:
The detection of a “garage”-type undercover biological-weapons program, or of small yet strategically significant weapons, is quite challenging. For nuclear and chemical weapons inspectors, this challenge is likely to grow as the miniaturization of production and improvements in the effectiveness of the weapons become reality.
The diplomats were virtually given a guided tour by regime guides, and their naïveté was easily exploited, but the tour was good for optics. Even Iran’s installations were ostensibly open to highly trained inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency for years, but those inspectors only appeased Iran and gave it warnings. Iran admitted to breaching the Obama nuclear deal twice, in June 2019 and again in November 2020. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was virtually ignored when he presented extensive evidence in 2018 that the Iran deal was based on lies. Now Iran is believed to be very close to possessing a nuclear bomb.
According to the Jerusalem Post:“Tehran has smuggled weapons to the Lebanese terrorist group by air in the past, and they were then stored in Lebanon’s only commercial airport.”
Now, in damage control to keep the international community off the track and keep business running at the Beirut International Airport, Lebanon has filed a lawsuit accusing the Telegraph of lies.
As Hizballah ramps up its attacks on Israel, it is counting on Joe Biden et al and Western globalists to gang up on Israel, as they have done during the Hamas war. Any weapons cache at an international airport must remain concealed. Hizballah is influential in Lebanon as an armed Islamic “resistance,” as well as a political body. The Iranian proxy brands itself as a “Shia resistance movement within Lebanon.” It is virtually the counterpart of Hamas in Gaza, with its ministers and parliamentarians holding power in Lebanon. According to Chatham House:
Hezbollah stands out among all political actors in Lebanon in having de facto control over Lebanon’s border with Syria. It also stands out for the extent of its use of the Port of Beirut to transport drugs, weapons and explosive material both in and out of Lebanon without any state oversight of its operations or inspections of the hangars it controls.
The most disturbing fact about Hizballah, given its political influence in Lebanon, is that it is positioned to use its people as human shields, as does Hamas. According to Iran International in March:
Christian communities in southern Lebanon have openly opposed Hezbollah’s rocket launches towards Israel as they are used as human shields in the ongoing conflict.
As Hizballah escalates its battle with Israel, it is counting on the naïveté of appeasement-minded Western Leftist leaders to continue to blame Israel, Meanwhile, it also has allies within the highly corrupt Lebanese political structure. Transport Minister Ali Hamieh is one of those. He is Hizballah affiliated, and likely lying to protect Hizballah as it stores Iranian weaponry in Beirut international airport.
Like Hamas, Hizballah’s next move would be to rack up the death toll numbers if it forces Israel into a position to strike, as it, too, hides among the general public.

Prof MEARSHEIMER and others have told us that neither the US nor Iran are interested in a war. But about the past:
It is always that in 1937 (Peel Commission) the Palestinians were OFFERED a STATE of their own,their own state.
This is what it says:
a.The ETHNIC EXPULSION of 225,000 Palestinians from the part given to the Jews.
b.The part left to the Palestinians was NOT to become an independent state.It was to become PART of another country.Part of JORDAN,under KING ABDALLAH ,who was happy and agreed.
Verify,it is true.
c.The part to be given to the Jews had the MOST fertile land.From 1931 and 1936 the Jewish population MORE than DOUBLED from 175,000 to 370,000 , increasing the Jews from 17% to 27%.In 1925 the Jews were 108,000.Assuming 50% had been born there in 1925 (circa 50,000), roughly 310,000 of the 370,000 Jews in 1936 were FOREIGNERS ( circa 85%).
In 1948 the Jews were 540,000 (170,000 more) and one can say the percentage of foreign Jews would be 90%.d.
The ARAB HIGHER COMMITTEE,the political organization that represented the Palestinians was for one state “with protection of all legitimate Jewish and other minority rights and safeguarding of reasonable British interests”.
They also demanded an END to more Jews entering and buying land.They did not advocate EXPULSION of the 370,000 Jews.But the two leaders of the Jews, BEN GURION and CHAIM WEIZMAN ( who convinced the UK to proclaim the BALFOUR DECLARATION of 1917,for the creation of a Jewish homeland, that would include JORDAN itself)were ok with the ethnic expulsion of 225,000 Palestinians ( and the expulsion of 1,250 Jews from the part given to the Arabs).
e.The Peel plan cited as an EXAMPLE the 1923 Greek and Turkish exchange ( the COMPULSORY(at gun point) expulsion of 1.2 million Greeks from Turkey to Greece,and 400,000 Turks from Greecel.The report states:”in the last resort … COMPULSORY” And that ALL of GALILEE was to be given to the Jews, where the
OVERWHELMING percentage of the LAND was OWNED by Palestinians,a slender amount by Jews.Ethnic cleansing of Galilee.
Alkflaeda says
Jordan was created specifically for “Arabs from West Palestine”. It comprises nearly 80% of the land that was available at the time of the Balfour Declaration – but of course 80% isn’t enough for a people that think they are entitled to 100%. The surrounding Arab countries expelled 700,000 Jewish people in 1948, then warned the Arabs in the new state of Israel to move out so that the land could be ethnically cleansed of its Jewish citizens. Israel won that war and understandably did not roll out the red carpet for the Arab citizens who had deserted her in her time of need to return. They became the so-called refugees – but they had left voluntarily. Only “Palestine” has hereditary refugee status – everyone else makes a fresh start.
The Jews who entered Israel from Europe are descended from people who lived in Judea in the first century, and had then already been in the land for a millennium. The Palestinian Arabs are mainly descendants of post-1850 migrants.. And, yes, the descendants of migrants have rights – but their rights do not trump those of the Jewish people whose ancestors were indigenous to the area. This is why the Palestinian Arabs vandalise archaeological sites – because it is a bit difficult to explain why all these artefacts have Hebrew inscriptions, if they are in fact Arabic.
Aslan says
” The Palestinian Arabs are mainly descendants of post-1850 migrants.. ”
Probing more about it there are several scholars who disagree but one stands out:
a very Zionist Israeli scholar YEHOSHUA PORATH (1938-2019),professor of Middle Eastern history. The claim first appeared in ”From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab–Jewish Conflict over Palestine” (1984 ) by JOAN PETERS.
At first DANIEL PIPES (Jewish-American expert on the Middle East) agreed with Joan Peters.Later he admitted her book was wrong.
Porath wrote an article ”Mrs Peter’s Palestine”(1986) where it says
“large-scale immigration of Arabs from the neighboring countries” is a myth “proposed by Zionist writers”. And that:
”As all the research by historian Fares Abdul Rahim and geographers of modern Palestine shows, the Arab population began to grow again in the middle of the nineteenth century.
That growth resulted from a new factor: the demographic revolution. UNTIL
the 1850s there was NO “natural” increase of the population, but this began to change when
MODERN MEDICAL TREATMENT was introduced and MODERN HOSPITALS were established,
BOTH by the OTTOMAN authorities and by the foreign Christian MISSIONARIES.
The number of births remained STEADY
but infant mortality DECREASED.
This was the MAIN reason for Arab population growth.”
Aslan says
There is a bit more,before 1850 due to a measure to CONSCRIPT Egyptians to form a modern army, 15,000 to 30,000, we do not know the exact number
of MEN,only men,
escaped from Egypt and went to live in Palestine.
We know some returned,but let’s assume it was 30,000, assume ALL the 30,000 married ,assume ALL the 30,000 Egyptian men had children,and their children had children.
Who did they marry? They married PALESTINIAN women whose ancestors had lived there from time immemorial.
Aslan says
In the book by Israeli actress NOA TISHBY,self-styled Liberal Zionist, ”Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth” (2022) she tells of how in 1919,at the Paris Peace Conference that resulted in the creation of the Treaty of Versailles and the LEAGUE of NATIONS
an Arab prince,prince FAISAL (later king of IRAQ ( 1921-1933) ) and LAWRENCE of ARABIA,
were both supporters of the Balfour Declaration (1917) that would give the Jews a homeland and included Gaza,West Bank,Israel and JORDAN.
1.Prince Faisal and CHAIM WEIZMANN,in the name of the World Zionist Organization,created by Theodor Herzl in 1897 to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine, signed the WEIZMANN-FAISAL AGREEMENT(1919)
2.The text says ””to work together to encourage immigration of Jews into Palestine on a LARGE SCALE ”
and ”The parties to carrying into effect the Balfour Declaration of 1917, calling for a Jewish national home in Palestine.”
3. Prince Faisal added in Arabic,with a translation by Lawrence of Arabia, a CONDITION,that for the agreement to be valid the Arabs were to get their INDEPENDENCE,form independent states.
Tishby does NOT include that part.Why? Weizmann submitted the agreement to the Paris Peace Conference and
ELIMINATED the part added by Prince Faisal.He betrayed him, an important Arab leader who was for a Jewish homeland.
TruthLaser says
The person cited has a decades long record as an anti-Semite. There is no need to dispute his views. Now, there are countless anti-Semitic channels online which the person cited and many others sell hatred. By the way, the most fertile areas were made fertile by Jews. They found water where Arabs did not. To then say, those were given to them ignores their possession and development.
Walter Sieruk says
In any future was between the State of Israel and that militant murderous jihad terror entity, Hezbollah in the long run, the jihadists who make up Hezbollah will completely fail in their Islamic goal of destroying Israel and replacing her with an Islamic state.
The reason why this is so is because God loves Israel and will not let her be destroyed. Therefore, Hezbollah is fated to lose in its war against Israel in the end.
In fact, God loves so much that He even views her as His “special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
MuggsSpongedice says
WW3 seems to be where all this is heading. President Trump has been warning about this and with a weak and feckless US presidency installed by the coup d’etat of rigged and stolen 2020 election, a coup literally hell bent on destroying USA and funding jihad against Israel and the free world with antisemitic globalist UN and other similar global agencies, which way can this world go from here except into Bible prophesy?
Edward A.Brandwein says
Pure mudslime bullshit
BLSinSC says
SIMPLE way to find out if there are weapons and explosives – just drop a SMALL BOMB and wait for the SECONDARY EXPLOSIONS! If none – then say “oops – sorry about that”! If MANY – then say “told you so”!!
