The aftermath of an Israeli strike on southern Beirut Nov 2024
The Cradle – Aug 28, 2025
There is a new US plan for a “clampdown” on Beirut’s southern suburb, which could potentially see the area come under the control of a foreign or Arab security force, according to a report released by Al-Akhbar newspaper on 27 August.
The southern suburb, a strong base of support for Hezbollah, was heavily bombarded by Israel during its brutal war on Lebanon last year. The suburb has been repeatedly hit by airstrikes since the ceasefire took effect.
According to Al-Akhbar, the plan aims to “treat the southern suburbs just like Palestinian refugee camps.”
The 1969 Cairo Agreement for years allowed Palestinian groups a degree of autonomy over refugee camps in Lebanon. Despite the agreement being declared null in the 1980s, the status of the camps has remained more or less the same.
However, Lebanese troops maintain checkpoints and a heavy presence around the camps. Palestinian camps in Lebanon have recently begun a symbolic disarmament process in line with the state’s efforts to monopolize control of weapons in the country.
The Al-Akhbar report frames the new US plan as part of Washington’s broader goal of disarming Hezbollah, which the Lebanese government vowed to achieve in a cabinet session in early August.
“The US proposal envisions checkpoints at all entrances [of the Beirut suburb], thorough searches of individuals and vehicles, and a tight control on goods, materials, and money flows. This mission would not be handed to the Lebanese army. Instead, the plan calls for a foreign security force, possibly an Arab one, to take on the task,” it said.
Al-Akhbar also said the plan falls in line with US efforts to “empty the southern border region.”
A recent report by Axios said there is a US plan for a “Trump economic zone” near the southern border, aimed at preventing Hezbollah from re-establishing its presence there. The report said this would happen with the help of Gulf financing.
During a press conference in Lebanon’s Presidential Palace on Tuesday, US envoy Tom Barrack confirmed plans for the economic zone.
“We have to have money coming into the system. The money will come from the Gulf. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are partners and are willing to do that for the south (of Lebanon) if we’re asking a portion of the Lebanese community to give up their livelihood,” Barrack said.
“We have 40,000 people that are being paid by Iran to fight. What are you gonna do with them? Take their weapon and say ‘by the way, good luck planting olive trees?’ It can’t happen. We have to help them,” he added, referring to Hezbollah members.
“We, all of us, the Gulf, the US, the Lebanese are all gonna act together to create an economic forum that is gonna produce a livelihood,” he went on to say.
This economic zone reportedly serves as an ethnic cleansing plan to remove residents of the southern border villages and prevent the return of those already displaced from there.
Lebanese MP and former head of Lebanon’s General Security Directorate Jamil al-Sayyed said in a post last week that “Envoy Tom Barrack has received the Israeli response to his mediation over the south.”
“The response included a ceasefire, the handing over of prisoners, and border demarcation, according to the following conditions: Lebanon must grant Israel the right to remain inside 14 villages and to fully or partially evacuate their residents. The villages Israel demanded in their entirety are: Odaisseh, Kfar Kila, Houla, Markaba, and Aita al-Shaab. The villages where Israel demanded to establish permanent military sites on their outskirts and forests are: Khiam, Ramiya, Yaroun, Aitaroun, Alma al-Shaab, Al-Dhayra, Marwahin, Maroun al-Ras, and Blida,” he added.
“If this news is true, and becomes official tomorrow or soon, it may be celebrated in our country as an ‘achievement’ similar to yesterday’s celebration over the symbolic handover of weapons in Burj al-Barajneh camp,” Sayyed went on to say.
Asda boss urges Rachel Reeves to ‘stop taxing everything’
Story by Tara Cobham
Asda’s chairman has urged Rachel Reeves to stop “taxing everything in some way, shape or form”.
Allan Leighton advised the chancellor to invest in Britain if she wants to grow the economy, not launch another new tax raid in her upcoming budget later this year.
Mrs Reeves is grappling with the various options at her disposal to fill a £50bn migrant hole in the public finances, while she attempts to stay within her self-imposed fiscal rules.
The answer is simple, just send them all home

who were the shropshire men ?
So called because shropshire was a centre for country wide movement
to keep Britain out of another war on Germany.
The Fens was also a peace focus as was Scotland
in fact Scotland was a real worry in Westminster that they may opt out
of the war such was the anti war feeling there,
Rudolf Hess in his peace mission flew to scotland, although found innocent
at the Nuremberg show trials he was still locked up for life
and when Hess was due for release a US service man strangled him with the cord to the electric light
so worried was the UK government that Hess may yet tell the truth.
Lord Victor Rothschild, the man behind getting the UK to fight for its old enemy
Communist Russia, instigated Regulation 18 B this was the immediate arrest and incarceration
for the wars duration, of anyone opposed to the war, peaceniks conscientious objectors and anti jews,
most folk knew it was a war for the jews, exactly as peace maker Gandhi said.
John Amery warned the royals of the Rothchild plan to put the UK in slavery
and Edward Viii did his utmost as a peace maker to stop the war.
Under total secrecy Churchill ordered the Shropshire men taken in dawn arrests and as the prisons
were full, Churchill had them brought to the tower of london, and they were never heard from again.
But it came out not to long ago, that Churchill had them all shot.
One reason Trump is coming as he knows we are on the verge again of Rothschilds regulation 18 B
we know there is provision to let criminals out of prisons to make room for peaceniks and dissidents
Kier Starmer has been described in MI 5 as Rothschilds right arm, we must prepare again for regulation 18 B
Leading US economists warn that Britain is facing the prospect of a repeat of its crippling 1976 economic crash as soaring debt and borrowing costs raise doubts over Labour’s budget policies.
The migrants bill is crippling the UK
One leading US economist said that the UK could be left unable to pay out its own pensions if the economy remains on its current course.
The UK must immediately ship out thousands of migrant spongers, it is feared Trump may have to step in as the UK crumbles into a communist dictatorship
BEWARE THE CHANGE AGENTS
we see each day terrible things happening in the world and its blamed on the Illuminati the jesuits
the elite the catholics the BBC the homosexuals the fat bastards, one daft commenter on here blames it on the natzis from 100 years ago.
There are people who will try and change the narrative, throwing a curve ball into any discussion
to kick the discussion away into the long grass.
The crimes of israel are there for anyone to see
in the UK we pay 5 grand a second in interest payments alone to rothschild, the national debt
is so much its unpayable, 70% of what you earn goes in taxes to rothschild and the debt is growing.
We should do what germany did, imprison the rothschilds and share the money back with the people it was stolen from.
The dirty jews are the folk behind it all
and their stupid lackeys who try and blame it on natzis
from w w 2
the anti migrant demonstrators have been making big hay out of the bumstroking incidents
but has this really done any harm ? the same as the tit grabbing, there wasa lot of this at notting hill
but its hardly a serious offence. Remember what Abdul Husien said, ” in our country we dont see women
just a figure in a big black tent with just eye holes and
over here they see miniskirts tight tops and hair flowing loose and it can drive men mad ”
so please cut the migrants some slack
Lebanon was considered to be a beautiful Christian country until the Zionists decided to destroy its Christian culture and flood the country with Muslims. As always, Zionist Jews are never content until they have utterly destroyed a nation and turned it into an immoral cesspool.
Labour loses over 200,000 members under Keir Starmer with one in 4 quitting the party last year alone
according to the party’s latest accounts.
Figures published today showed Labour’s membership has continued to decline from its peak under the popular former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
People desperate to get the Tories out, gave Labour’ a general election landslide in July last year, which delivered Sir Keir a huge majority in the House of Commons.
But Kier Starmers betrayal of the people and his racism toward his own, want him out and even prosecuted
Demands of the people

Greater Israel (Zionist International) and its enablers plots more land theft, more wars as long as America is contributing. Look at what Israel manipulates the United States into doing for its Greater Israel plans. All the more as to why…
Israel is not an ally to America. It is the opposite.
None of this would be necessary if it wasn’t for the presence of Israel. It’s all being done for Israel’s sake. Forget everyone else in the region. There are so many pressures in the region that it is becoming like a pressure cooker ready to explode into something really big. It must happen.
