The Media Campaign Against Tom Barrack is Childish…And the Vast Difference Between Hezbollah the Devils, and Mullahs’ Criminality, and Morgan Ortagus: America, Beauty, and Hope Elias Bejjani/August 26, 2025
My commentary today revolves around three key points:
01 – The Significance of Morgan Ortagus’s Courage in Beirut
Through both words and actions, she proved that she does not fear Hezbollah. She urged the Lebanese not to fear it either, because it is nothing more than an Iranian arm whose time has ended. She reassured that America, the West, and the majority of Arab states have already decided to strip it of its weapons, dismantle its military presence, and end its occupation of Lebanon.
02 – Hezbollah’s Hysteria and Its Mouthpieces
From Naïm Qassem, to the Hezbollah’s MPs, officials, and media lackeys – they are all living in denial, delirium, hallucinations, and daydreams after the collapse of their Iranian Evil project and their humiliating defeat, along with the downfall of the so-called “Axis of Resistance,” the grand façade of terrorism.
03 – The Infantile Media Campaign Against Tom Barrack
This campaign is practically parrot-like, empty of any real meaning, and represents a complete divorce from the real positions and priorities that should be taken against Hezbollah’s occupation, its defiance of the constitution, its rejection of international resolutions, and its daily threats against the Lebanese.
To begin with, the difference between the faces of Naïm Qassem, Mohammad Raad, Wafiq Safa, and the rest of the gang of the “fake resistance,” and the face of Morgan Ortagus, is like the difference between devils and angels, between owls and doves, between ugliness and grace, between evil and good.
Morgan Ortagus, the U.S. envoy who confidently walked into a famous Beirut beauty salon to have her hair done, wanted to say boldly to the Lebanese: I am not afraid of Hezbollah, and I advise the Lebanese not to fear it either. It is an Iranian arm whose time has ended, and America, the West, and most Arab countries are working to strip it of its weapons. This practical gesture alone is enough to destroy the entire fear-mongering machine that Hezbollah attempts to plant in Lebanese minds through its daily sectarian and terrorist speeches.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General” Naïm Qassem, along with the rest of its leaders and their hired propagandists – journalists, analysts, and media parrots – live in a hysterical state of threats, screaming, excommunication, treason, and false promises of returning to the days of total domination. Yet behind all this noise lies one simple reality: defeat, collapse, and pathological denial of reality. They are hallucinating, detached from facts, after Hezbollah and Iran’s humiliating downfall, the collapse of Bashar Assad’s criminal regime in Syria, and Israel’s systematic elimination of most Hezbollah leaders – which continues daily – while Hezbollah is incapable of even firing a single bullet in response.
Every day, Hezbollah threatens the lives of free and sovereign Lebanese – from Sheikh Ahmad Shukr, to journalist Qassem Qassir linking the militia’s weapons to the “return of the Mahdi,” passing by Wafiq Safa, Hussein al-Moussawi, and many others. Yet most of Lebanon’s press and political class remain silent and cowardly. Only a few dared to respond.
The absurd irony is this: the very same people who stayed silent in the face of Hezbollah’s death threats, assassinations, and repeated threats of civil war suddenly erupted in hysteria over an innocent, spontaneous passing remark by Tom Barrack—when he simply used the English word “animalistic” to tell journalists to calm down. That single word was blown out of proportion into a full-blown circus, as if it were the crime of the century. This is hypocrisy at its peak, fueled by nothing but a culture of submission and servility.
Where were those loud voices when Hezbollah thugs assaulted journalist Daoud Rammal as he prayed at his parents’ grave? Where were they when Hezbollah shed the blood of journalist Mohammad Barakat? Where were they when Hassan Nasrallah declared to all Lebanese opponents of his Iranian militia occupation: “You are not human”? And where were they when Hezbollah’s newspaper editor, the thug Bob al-Amin, kept issuing his threats of “feel your necks”?
The list goes on… and silence was always the answer. Yet today, the same people pretend to be outraged at Barrack! The truth is clear: what Barrack actually meant was simple—“Calm down, or we will leave.” But the parrots preferred to scream.
On the Word “Animalistic” vs. “Anomalistic”
From a linguistic perspective, there is no English word “anomalistic,” as some pretended. There is anomaly (abnormality, irregularity) and anomalous (abnormal, unusual). The word Barrack used was animalistic. Here are its meanings from leading dictionaries:
Oxford English Dictionary: “Relating to the characteristics or behavior of animals; resembling or suggestive of animals.”
Merriam-Webster: “Of, relating to, or resembling an animal or animals; marked by instinct rather than reason.”
Cambridge Dictionary: “Like an animal; relating to the behavior of animals rather than humans.”
In plain words: animalistic = primitive, brutal, driven by raw instinct and savagery.
So the entire outcry was nothing but empty propaganda – a parrot-like hysteria, just as meaningless as everything Hezbollah and its chorus of mouthpieces promote.
Conclusion
Morgan Ortagus represents America, beauty, and hope, while Hezbollah represents ugliness, devils, and the mullahs’ criminality. The contrast could not be clearer. What Ortagus told the Lebanese is in itself a roadmap: Do not fear Hezbollah. Its time is over. The international, Arab, and American decision is to disarm it and restore Lebanon to its statehood. As for the media campaign against Tom Barrack, it only reveals how deeply Lebanon’s press has been infected by decades of occupation – Palestinian, Syrian, and now Iranian – planting submissiveness, self-censorship, and the mentality of “devil’s advocates” into the veins of too many so-called journalists.
