It's high time for the US and France to help Israel finish the job
Yeah, I’m celebrating. For the past two weeks, Israel (including the Mossad, IDF, and military intelligence) have shown unparalleled prowess and success in the global war on terror.
First, thousands of Hezbollah beepers exploded on command. Then their walkie talkies. This is recognized as the most precise anti-terrorist operation ever. Before and after, Israel took credit for the targeted assassination of nearly all the top Hezbollah leaders. Israel targeted and destroyed countless Hezbollah missiles and launchers, along with other weapons and systems. Whether by design or chance, the debilitating of Hezbollah’s communications systems, destruction of its weapons and infrastructure, and elimination of many top leaders caused many of the remaining leaders to have to meet in person, providing another opportunity to eliminate them while hiding deep in bunkers beneath Beirut’s civilians.
It’s also been reported that Friday’s brilliantly executed assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was partly facilitated by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s trip to speak at the United Nations, giving the impression that Netanyahu would never leave Israel if such an operation were imminent. It’s even been suggested that while hiding in his bunker, destroyed by some 80 tons of precision weapons, Nasrallah was watching Netanyahu’s speech.
Unlike our enemies who shout “Allahu Akbar,” revering their “great” god in the midst of and following the massacre of civilians (whether a year ago on October 7, or two decades ago on 9/11), I am celebrating the downfall of Israel’s enemies.
I’m celebrating Israel’s intelligence, fortitude, and ability, all of which fell short a year ago in a multi- system failure that allowed the most inhuman massacre of 1200, kidnapping of 251, beheading, gang rape, sexual mutilation, burning people alive, and more.
I’m celebrating that so many terrorist leaders, their headquarters, and so much of their infrastructure have been destroyed.
Unlike our enemies whose demise I do celebrate, I am not celebrating the death of “innocent civilians.” Though to be honest I have become less liberal in who I consider innocent. If you’ve allowed your children to be indoctrinated by genocidal hate for generations; if you’ve participated in any way in building terrorist infrastructure in, under, or around civilian areas and institutions; if you’ve witnessed this and not at least reported it or resisted it; and if your neighbor’s home has become a weapons cache, you own no small part of the blame.
I’m celebrating the message to the Iranian Islamic regime that they are in our crosshairs, and to the Iranian people that the end of the regime is in sight. When that happens, the funding and arms to its terrorist tentacles will wither and die.
I’m celebrating the first time in decades that Lebanese citizens can see a light at the end of the evil Islamic hijacking of their country, and that they can be emboldened to vomit out all the terrorists in their midst.
I’m celebrating the strong message this sends to our Arab allies, that we have the same enemy and must continue the fight together even if they won’t do so in public. And that even if they cannot rely on the US whose policies too often embolden and enable the terrorists, that they can rely on Israel, and similarly should be partnering with Israel, with or without US support.
I’m celebrating how the past two weeks have been a game changer for the entire Middle East. Iran could once hide its nuclear weapons behind the threat to unleash Hezbollah’s massive arsenal. Hezbollah can still do damage but has been so degraded, not only can the Iranians not hide behind this threat, but they realize they might be next. After two successful long-range attacks on Houthi weapons and infrastructure in Yemen – the same distance from Israel as Tehran – the Ayatollahs are rightly hiding.
I’m celebrating because despite the Biden-Harris administration reflexively calling for a ceasefire, and even threats to Israel to preempt a ground operation, more responsible voices are calling out those wanting a ceasefire. Despite the genuine suffering it may cause at home, Israel cannot afford to not completely dismantle Hezbollah and its arsenal. Failure to take full advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the threat is irresponsible. If we take our foot off the gas, we will coast to further disaster for Israel, Lebanon, and the world.
I’m celebrating because Israelis are grappling with whether we should be celebrating at all, and if so, how it’s appropriate. It shows our humanity, our values, our Biblical grounding. Yes, as they try to exterminate us, the Jewish people are debating if and how to celebrate the downfall of our genocidal enemies.
But I am also dismayed. Given last year’s massacre from which Israelis are traumatized, Israel has had to rebuild its deterrence. But there are so many against us, including would be allies.
In 1983, Hezbollah killed 241 Americas, including 220 Marines: the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marines since Iwo Jima. That same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers. Now is the time for the US and France to help Israel to finish the job for which they were too cowardly or inept to do all these decades. Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil was the mastermind of the murder of the Marines. The US should be sending thank you notes to all who were involved in eliminating Aqui, not to mention the $7 million reward.
I’m dismayed by overt threats from the Biden-Harris administration to hold Israel back rather than standing shoulder to shoulder. I’m dismayed that rather than worrying about escalation in Lebanon, the administration is more concerned about its consequences regarding the presidential election, rather than showing leadership and resolve.
I’m dismayed that fear of escalation has become the US military strategy. It displays cowardice and weakness to our Islamist enemies, and to the Arabs who are looking for strong allies. Being more concerned about gas prices as a result of a regional war is a failed domestic and foreign policy.
I’m dismayed by the parroting of “ceasefire” as a foreign policy. It’s a cop out, kicking the can down the road. It delays inevitable future fighting. After defeating the British at Trenton, George Washington did not call for a ceasefire. He went on to defeat them at Princeton. Nor did Patton at the Battle of the Bulge.
Things still may get much worse before getting better. By the time you read this, Israel may be engaged in an all-out ground incursion in Lebanon; to rout out and push back the remains of Hezbollah’s army away from the border so tens of thousands of Israelis can come back to their homes which they’ve evacuated. The needs will be great.
May all Israelis who have been forced to evacuate their homes and communities be able to return home soon and safely, and may this be the beginning of a new future for Israel and the Middle East.

Israelis are coming to the realization that their diligence must be constant and effective. They know that men like Netanyahu might not be perfect but if they elect and empower Bidenesque like leaders, things will not go well. BTW when this is over, the anti Netanyahu cadre within Mossad that allowed Iran to arm and finance Hamas through Egypt, did not report to Netanyahu or the IDF will be purged with prejudice.
“the global war on terror”
You cannot win a war in which you are unable or unwilling to correctly name your enemy.
This is a war on islam. They declared it. We must either win or lose it.
Speaking at Kanal D TV’s Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, ‘These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.

BUMP
And we MUST win or else the whole planet 🌎🌍🌏 will be one big caliphate, and I don’t want that at all!
BTTT
It’s growing beyond that as Islamic terrorist states/groups are being state sponsored by other super powers. A real mess!
“Wake up and smell the roses!”
FrontpageMag has always been a Neocon flagship publication.
It was a leading voice for the 2003 Iraq War.
Afterward, it urged the U.S. to take out Iran.
Not surprising they want the U.S. to intervene and escalate in the Mideast.
You’ll catch hell for saying that, but it’s mostly true. If there’s an October surprise, you can be sure it’ll be blamed on Iran and off we go . . . to the tune of “Onward, Christian Soldiers.”
Let the thing be pressed.
Israel almost succeeded in getting Cairo nuked during the 1967 U.S.S. Liberty incident
BBC ^ | 2002 | Nigel Anthony
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyiP1tUOxig&t=1437s
The 6th fleet sent nuclear bombers to attack Cairo, only for them to be recalled when McNamara & LBJ realized the Operation Cyanide false flag had failed & Israel, not Egypt, would be blamed for the U.S.S. Liberty attack.
At the time-segued queue of the video (23:57), we see the U.S. Sixth Fleet, leaders of whom (Admiral Moorer?) believed that Egypt had attacked the U.S.S. Liberty, deploying nuclear-armed ship-launched bombers, to retaliate against Egypt, by committing the third nuclear bombardment in history of a heavily populated civilian area, this time against the capitol of one of the oldest civilizations of all time.
Yes we have all been simultaneously celebrating and mourning this week. What a difference a year makes.
The cease fire plan is almost as stupid as the two-state solution. Tried and failed.
for He is good,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Give thanks to the God of gods,

For His lovingkindness is everlasting:
The sun to rule by day,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Psalms 136:1-22
“From the the river to the sea, let’s have Israeli sovereignty!”
“You cannot win a war in which you are unable or unwilling to correctly name your enemy.
This is a war on islam. They declared it. We must either win or lose it.”
100% correct. Especially the “win it or lose it”.
War does not end until one side is utterly destroyed, or at least has it’s entire ability to resist wiped out.
Witness the occupation of Japan and Germany after WWII. We’ve not heard a peep out of them since.
The same needs to be done in iran and much of the mideast. If we would have nuked mecca after 911 we would not be having these problems with islam now. Their scriptures command them to kill or enslave us. The only answer is to eradicate them.
