A reminder of the central aspect of this conflict that everyone ignores: it is a religious war, an Islamic jihad. The State Department and the entire Western intelligentsia has never shown any sign of understanding the implications of that.
“Israel assassinates two Hamas terrorists in Lebanon as Hezbollah rockets damage homes in North,” by Maya Gur Arieh and Darcie Grunblatt, Jerusalem Post, October 5, 2024:
Israeli Air Force fighter jets on Saturday morning killed Muhammad Hussein Ali al-Mahmoud, who served as the operational arm of the Hamas terrorist organization in Lebanon, the IDF announced later in the day.
He was mainly responsible for directing terrorist activities in the West Bank. However, Muhammad has also been involved in Hamas’s efforts to establish a foothold in Lebanon, which included supplying weapons for rocket fire toward Israel. He has been involved in trying to manufacture advanced weaponry as well.
In another joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet earlier Saturday morning, in the Tripoli area of Lebanon, the terrorist Said Alaa Naif Ali, from Hamas’s military wing in Lebanon, was killed. He led attacks against Israelis and worked to recruit operatives for Hamas in Lebanon….
The military said on Saturday morning that the Israel Air Force (IAF) struck Hezbollah terrorists operating within a command center that was located inside a mosque adjacent to the Salah Ghandour Hospital in southern Lebanon.

Mosque is often used as a place for terrorist center, arsenal, kidnapped people, killings or rapings. It is Islam holy place, people will get angry if you walk into a mosque with removing your shoes, a man even rebuked me because my dog peed in front of a mosque (not inside at all).
But they don’t get angry if the holy place is used for such usages above. It tells what kind of religion Islam is.

Israel should level as many mosques as they can south of the Litani, and claim that they were Hizbullah sites. Put on Hizbullah the onus of proving that they weren’t
OLD GUY says
Western countries and their citizens should close all mosque and deport Islamic followers. Nothing good will come from having these hateful people in your country. Let’s not trade DIVERSITY for murder and rape of our families.
