Hezb’allah Ceasefire: A Special Kind of Stupid
American Thinker ^ | 29 Sep, 2024 | Civis Americanus

Posted on 09/29/2024 5:54:35 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The USA and France want a ceasefire — which is to say they want Israel to allow Hezb’allah to regroup and attack again.

Reuters reports, “Israel rejects US-backed Lebanon ceasefire plan, hits Beirut again” and adds that France also supports a ceasefire. It is easily understandable, given that the last time France won a major war on its own was during Napoleon’s reign, that this country wants Israel to stop battering the same terrorists who murdered 53 French troops in 1983. French president Emmanuel Macron said of Benjamin Netanyahu, “It would be a mistake by the prime minister to refuse it because he would be taking responsibility for regional escalation,” as if there were not an all-out war already in progress. It would not surprise me if Vichy collaborators like Marshal Petain, Pierre Laval, and Admiral Darlan made similar comments about Winston Churchill’s “regional escalation” circa 1941. Churchill is credited, and rightly so, with saving civilization from the Axis, and Netanyahu looks like the right person to save civilization from Iranian-backed terrorism.

Less understandable is why our country also wants Israel to accept a ceasefire with Hezb’allah. Israel, in fact, did the United States’ work for it by killing Ibrahim Aqil, a terrorist responsible for murdering 241 U.S. Marines and other service personnel in 1983. Whether Israel is going to claim the $7-million reward for taking out our trash is yet to be seen, but the bottom line is that Israel did what we should have done ourselves.

Hezb’allah’s Acts of Mass Destruction

Let’s remember how we got here, even if Biden and Macron do not. First, Hezb’allah has no right to be in Lebanon at all. Second, Hezb’allah amassed more than a hundred thousand rockets, whose sole purpose is to murder Israeli civilians.

“ US under JoeyBoy is as bad as the UN.”

_______________

To be fair, Joe Biden stated recently that he had delegated all foreign and domestic policy to Kamala Harris.

It’s more than just stupidity, it’s pandering to growing Muslim electorates.

In the future, if Muslims gain more power, American, British and French weapons might get sent to Hezbollah and HAMAS.

Given that strong possibility, the evil and violent people of Hezbollah and HAMAS should be eliminated to the maximum possible extent.

quotes:

Nasrallah has also repeatedly vowed to destroy Israel. “It is an aggressive, illegal and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land,”

“The US has tried, through its local agents, to persuade the people that those who crushed their arrogance in Lebanon and frustrated their conspiracy against the oppressed were nothing but a bunch of fanatic terrorists whose sole aim is to dynamite bars and destroy slot machines. Such suggestions cannot and will not mislead our umma (community), for the whole world knows that whoever wishes to oppose the US, that arrogant superpower, cannot indulge in marginal acts which may make it deviate from its major objective. We combat abomination and we shall tear out its very roots, its primary roots, which are the US. All attempts made to drive us into marginal actions will fail, especially as our determination to fight the US is solid.”

No one can imagine the importance of our military potential as our military apparatus is not separate from our overall social fabric. Each of us is a fighting soldier.

Our culture is crystal clear. It is not complicated and is accessible to all.

We see in Israel the vanguard of the United States in our Islamic world. It is the hated enemy that must be fought until the hated ones get what they deserve. This enemy is the greatest danger to our future generations and to the destiny of our lands, particularly as it glorifies the ideas of settlement and expansion, initiated in Palestine, and yearning outward to the extension of the Great Israel, from the Euphrates to the Nile. Our primary assumption in our fight against Israel states that the Zionist entity is aggressive from its inception, and built on lands wrested from their owners, at the expense of the rights of the Muslim people. Therefore our struggle will end only when this entity is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no cease fire, and no peace agreements, whether separate or consolidated.

We vigorously condemn all plans for negotiation with Israel, and regard all negotiators as enemies, for the reason that such negotiation is nothing but the recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist occupation of Palestine.

The “US ceasefire” is in reality a publicity stunt by a lame duck administration

In world events, American Lame Ducks are irrelevant

quotes:

“Our participation in the elections and entry into the National Assembly do not alter the fact that we are a resistance party. We shall, in fact, work to turn the whole of Lebanon into a country of resistance, and the state into a state of resistance. In the past, a number of state officials promised that if negotiations did not lead to the liberation of the land, the entire population, and the state itself, would be transformed into a resistance force. We said before, and are saying now, that negotiations will not succeed, and that it is now time to act on that promise.”

If Islam becomes the choice of the majority then we will apply it, if not, we will continue to coexist and discuss till we reach correct beliefs.

<< Less understandable is why our country also wants Israel to accept a ceasefire with Hezb’allah. >>

1) Election virtue signaling to their anti-Israel prog base and to Muslims in Michigan, and 2) Protecting the mullahs in Iran, which has always been a big part of the Obama doctrine.

This would go e the terrorists time to recruit and rearm. Would be stupid to continue doing that it has done nothing in the past except more killing of Hebrews.

Ceasefires are proposed by those who don’t want victory.

Hezbollah got comfortable with tit or tat exchanges that were tolerable to both sides

I’m glad Nasrallah doesn’t have to be pestered any longer with talk of negotiating with “evil” Israel. He’s a freed man now from such annoyances.
