New in PJ Media:
Ceasefire now? As much as Kamala Harris wants one and would capitalize upon one if it did materialize, the answer must be a firm no.
After exploding pagers and a series of carefully targeted Israeli airstrikes have completely decimated Hizballah’s senior leadership, the jihad terror organization now wants a ceasefire with Israel. This will come as music to the ears of the Biden-Harris regime, which would like nothing better than an October peace agreement between Israel and one of the major players that are arrayed against it.
The Harris campaign could wave this agreement in the air every time someone pointed out that the world during the Trump years was a much more peaceful place than it is now, and use it going into the election as evidence of Kamala Harris’ superior negotiating skills. But for a number of important reasons, Israel should resist all pressure from Washington.
So far, the pressure for the moment is coming not from Washington, but from Hizballah itself. CNN reported Tuesday that Hizballah Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem, who is the highest-ranking official in the organization at the moment (after Israel took out longtime Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several of his designated or potential successors) said, “We support the political efforts led by (Parliament Speaker Nabih) Berri under the banner of achieving a ceasefire. Once the ceasefire is firmly established and diplomacy can reach it, all other details will be discussed and decisions will be made collaboratively.”
Ceasefire! Diplomacy! Qassem knows how to push all the right buttons to get the U.S. State Department, the European Union, and the United Nations on his side, and even to shower billions upon his straitened organization. Kamala Harris has already sent $157 million to Lebanon, which means to Hizballah.
Apparently aware of how sympathetic the Biden-Harris regime is to the foes of Israel, Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib tried to shift the blame for the ongoing hostilities onto Israel last week. He told CNN that Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a ceasefire as Old Joe Biden had called for at the UN, but the Israelis killed him in spite of that — or perhaps because of that. However, the Israeli ambassador to Britain, Tzipi Hotovely, said that this claim was false: Nasrallah had not agreed to any ceasefire, and Bou Habib’s assertion was “ridiculous.”
Nevertheless, Antony Blinken and his henchmen in Foggy Bottom are likely to take Qassem’s endorsement of Berri’s ceasefire proposal with the utmost seriousness, and start badgering the Israelis to accept it. If they prevail upon them to do so, they’ll only be enabling Hizballah to survive and get back on its feet after the heavy losses it has recently suffered. This is certain from what Islamic law teaches about when treaties, including temporary truces, should be concluded with a non-Muslim foe.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Israel must press forward, to victory!
Troybeam says
Spot on plus they should not give one ounce of aid back to these people for trying to destroy Israel. War has consequences.
Emilie Green says
There is no substitute for victory. Failing to vanquish a foe simply means another war. Israel should stop being fooled by Lucy “holding” the football.

There are prophetic warnings In Zechariah concerning Jerusalem and Israel
I couldn’t possibly tell you where to find them
{Zechariah 12 v3,v9….Zechariah 14 v 12…actuallly you might as well read all of it zechariah chpts 12-14}
Hizbollah must have read Zechariah,It’ll be no party for the “party of allah”
It’d be like if allah decided to stamp on us all
It’d be lke if allah played Soccer{“he shoots..he scores..and..oh..}
obviously allah is not the Biblical/Torah understanding of God.
allah isn’t even omniscient according to the koran.
allah cannot be akbar with respect to the ALPHA AND OMEGA….who OWNS Israel
alalh has one ltwo and two right hands
Ben says
There can be no ceasefire with hiz-ball-less until the terror infrastructure near Israel’s border isn’t destroyed and hiznoballah isn’t severly weakened.
Kuffar says
In Islam it is called a Hudnah… A temporary cease fire so the brothers can regain their strength and rejoin the Jihad. Press on Israel, and destroy the enemy
Rarely says
It is highly doubtful that Israel will be able to completely eradicate Hezbollah. That being the case it might be wise for Israel to aim a little lower. This is especially true in light of the PR situation but I would ignore that if a complete victory were possibly.
In other words I do not believe that rejecting this cease fire opportunity is a no brainer.
Where do you realistically see this all ending?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
If Israel eradicates Hizbullah in Lebanon, will that be the end of Hizbullah? If no, it’d be b’cos Hizbullah has another home in Iran, or alternate homes in Syria or southern Iraq. So if at the end of the Lebanon operation, there is no Hizbullah there, but instead, they flee to Syria, Iraq or Iran, Israel would have achieved its objective
Unlike the Lebanese government which was pretty feckless, there is no way the Assad regime would allow Hizbullah to jeopardize the stability of its regime. During the Syrian Civil War, if Israel didn’t support attempts to overthrow the Alawites, then that’s a favor that they’d still want from Jerusalem. They ain’t gonna get it if they allow Hizbullah to shell the Golan Heights from the Syrian side of the border
Skai says
Do you think it hamass or hezbollah were winning they would ask for ceasefire? Israel must carry on

Hizballah Wants a Ceasefire Now. Here’s Why Israel Shouldn’t Give Them One.
…………………………………………..
Hizb’allah just wants a ceasefire so that they can rearm and attack Israel again. This is a Hudna.
The Istanbulian says
A public surrender and turning in of arms is needed.
James Lincoln says
Israel should tell Hizballah that they need to surrender unconditionally.
Hizballah will not do this.
Then Israel should respond publicly with this:
“There will be no cease-fire without an unconditional surrender by Hizballah.”
Hizballah will then be painted into a corner.
Nabil Bissada says
“Hizballah Wants a Ceasefire Now. Here’s Why Israel Shouldn’t Give Them One.”
Of course, if Hizballah has the power to destroy Israel he will never ask for ceasefire.
Muslims in their belief according to the Koran and the sharia law, they consider the Jewish, Christians, and any non-Muslims the first enemy who supposed to murder them, rape their women, etc.
Same what the Muslims did on October 7, with the Israeli civilians, put their babies in oven, rape women, murder women and men, kidnap civilians as a hostage and murder some of them with no morality and no humanity etc.
If Hizballah the Islamic terrorist’s organization want ceasefire, they must give back all their weapons to Israel with no conditions
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims
