Fiery but mostly peaceful ceasefire continues.
The Biden ceasefire for Lebanon fell apart within 4 days. Officially the ceasefire is holding even as fighting continues between Israel and the Hezbollah Islamic terrorist group.
When is a ceasefire not a ceasefire, but still officially a ceasefire? When it’s a fiery but mostly peaceful ceasefire with terrorists.

Why Israel and Hezbollah Are Still Firing Amid a Lebanon Cease-Fire – The New York Times
So it’s a ceasefire in which the fires has not ceased. And Biden’s Israel ambassador warns that while the ceasefire is ‘holding’, this will only work if Israel ignores the terrorists violating it.
Ambassador Lew cautions Israel against blowing issues out of proportion in trying to maintain the ceasefire with Hezbollah.
“Israel has made clear that it has to be able to defend itself, but they also have to act in a way that doesn’t take small things and turn them into big things,” Lew says.
That was the policy with Hamas. Proportionate responses only when attacked. And that led to Oct 7.
In Lebanon, this would mean Israel ignoring as Hezbollah advances back to its old positions, puts up rocket launchers, refortifies, and waits until Hezbollah attacks to respond.
Lew promises that things will get better when “the Government of Lebanon has to increasingly gain control” except that the Lebanese government is a puppet of Hezbollah. So it controls nothing and will control nothing except whatever Hezbollah allows it to.
Biden’s ambassador claims that the ceasefire is holding. And it’ll go on holding if Israel just pretends that the terrorists aren’t there.

These politicians and their pathetic mouthpieces think we’re as stupid as they are…
tgusa says
They have their mindless talking points Eva and no matter how pathetic those talking points are they are sticking to them to the end. Yes, they make the mistake of thinking we are as stupid as they are. Or perhaps they know we aren’t as stupid as they are but ignore it. That is what the Biden does best, ignore, and then take a nap after ice cream.
Eva says
Yes, you’re right, but all these lies and all their utter corruption makes me so angry.

This is like a marriage counselor telling an abused wife to begin each day like a new one as if no abuse has ever happened. (one I know of did just that)
“Just ignore your bleeding lips and your swollen eye. This is a new day. Start over. Go prepare his breakfast as if nothing has happened.”
Just ignore the rockets, missiles, digging of new tunnels, flights from iran with new munitions, and the constant bragging and threats. Just don’t fire, even when the terrorists are firing.
After all, biden made promises.
DOUG PERLE says
When the ceasefire “deal” was made Hezbollah wasn’t even part of this so-called ceasefire.
Dave says
“If Israel ignores terrorist violations.”
‘Ignores terrorist violations’?
If one side is violating it, then it is not a ceasefire. Of course, the Biden minions want to say it is a ‘mostly peaceful’ ceasefire. These are the same people that were telling us that the riots of 2020 to 2022 were ‘mostly peaceful protests’.
“The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. What luck, for governments, that the people are stupid!”—Adolf Hitler
They treat us like mushrooms. They keep us in the dark, feed us ‘crap’ and then, expect us to grow.

Biden’s Ambassador Says Ceasefire Will Hold If Israel Ignores Terrorist Violations

Oh man–I should never drink coffee while reading Jihad Watch. This would be hilarious if were not so grimly perverse.

AND WWII wouldn’t have happened if the US ignored Pearl Harbor and Hitler. What a fu**ing A Hole.

Israel should start lying, and issuing perfunctory denials of any violations, while continuing to bomb the crap out of Hizbullah. Tell Blinken & Sullivan that they are as blameless as Hizbullah on this one
Have a different channel of comms to Marco Rubio and Mike Walz, as well as to Mar-a-lago

The biden cabal has failed the Sun Tzu test.
“Know the enemy and know yourself in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.”
If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.
Yep, that describes the global left.

Grimly spot on analysis.

How many lives could have been saved if the U.S. had only ignored Pearl Harbor.
i.e. Surrender at the first sign of trouble — it will save lives.
Tee says
Hope that Israel ignores the Ambassador first!
Go Israel 🇮🇱
Robert says
What a dumb statement! Really! Maybe they should have ignored the invasion a year ago
Ben says
Wait a moment.
Elliot Kaufman on X is quoting Jacob Magid on Update Liveblog that the US Ambassador said something about a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Where is the original post of the US Ambassador?
How can we trust this information based on he said, she said?
Please insert the Ambassador’s post itself.
Billy Corr says
For Irish politicians and other supposedly-responsible people, keeping the Irish contingent in UNIFIL is
indicative of political virtue.
Irish politicians adore being filmed and photographed visiting the Irish contingent in Lebanon.
We all know:
-1- First the PLO and now Hezbollah snuggle close to UNIFIL, knowing that the Israelis are very reluctant to harm UNIFIL personnel.
-2- Terrorists are adept at stealing UNIFIL vehicles and anything else usable and portable.
-3- UNIFIL personnel are under strict orders not to drive between sunset and dawn – thus leaving the roads clear for terrorists.
-4- The Lebanese army is a joke, wholly unwilling to challenge the PLO in the past or Hezbollah in the present.
