When the political and media elites accord you the moral high ground, you can do anything you want.
“Nine children killed in rocket fire in Majdal Shams, Hezbollah denies responsibility,” by Darcie Grunblatt, Jerusalem Post, July 27, 2024:
Following a direct hit in the area of Majdal Shams, a Druze village, on Saturday evening, nine were killed, among them children and teenagers between the ages of 10 and 20, Mako reported. Dozens were wounded to varying degrees and were transported to hospitals by Magen David Adom teams and IDF helicopters, Magen David Adom said in a statement.
The rocket hit a soccer field near a playground.
According to an IDF situational assessment and IDF intelligence, the rocket launch toward Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terrorist organization, the IDF reported.
A senior official from Lebanon’s Hezbollah group, Mohammad Afif, told Reuters on Saturday that the group was not responsible for the strike.
Upon arrival at the scene, senior MDA medic Idan Avshalom stated, “We arrived at the soccer field and saw destruction and items on fire. Victims were lying on the grass, and the scenes were difficult. We immediately began triaging the injured. Some of the injured were taken to local clinics, and our teams were directed to those clinics as well. During the incident, there were additional alerts, and medical treatment for the injured is still ongoing.”…

I bet that this will prove very ill advised and that the retribution will be immense and not far in the future. Were I a member of the Hezbollah upper chain of command, I would take a leave of absence to Qatar for a while. To target a children’s playground is beyond acceptable and by the way, should I hold my breadth waiting for the fools at the UN to condemn this atrocious act? I think not.

Ray, you would never be a member of hezbollah.
When children are hurt, targeted, abused, murdered, I always recall what Jesus said about what would be better for the one doing the evil.
These evil scum will get everything coming to them; every thing they deserve.
Ray Jarman says
Somehistory, thank you for the kind words. You are very correct about me being a member of an evil organization such as Hezbollah. I also know that we are told that to loving our neighbor is extremely important but I have to admit that I have an enormous problem Islam.

This will not be reported in our national media.

To add bitter irony to this sad disaster, the Druse of Majdal Shams are some of those who have refused to take Israeli citizenship, steadfastly maintaining that they and their town are Syrian. Of course Magen David Adam has done what they can to help the injured. I’ll write MDA another check, I was going to anyway. Hezbollah now denies that they fired the rocket that hit the soccer game. They still claim all the other rockets and drones they launched today.

If this attack were the other way around this would be all over the World News Agencies. But beings it was against Israel it is overlooked or excused.
