A fascinating story — absolutely riveting — about how Israel’s military and political leaders considered, debated, took into account the Americans’ views, weighed the possible pros and cons, and ultimately rejected a preemptive attack on Hezbollah in the first few days following Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023, can be found here: “How Israel almost […]
Did Obama Send Missiles to Hezbollah?
Worse than we even knew. Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group in control of Lebanon, used to boast that it was unbeatable because of its arsenal of over 100,000 missiles and rockets. That arsenal, which was severely depleted by Israel before the Biden imposed ceasefire, relied heavily on a large collection of anti-tank missiles that […]
Iran: Khamenei tabs Hizballah chief Naim Qassem as his Lebanon representative
In early October, Naim Qassem’s predecessor Hashem Safieddine went missing following an Israeli Air Force strike that targeted an underground bunker he was in. Less than two weeks later, Qassem, who was Hizballah’s deputy secretary general at the time, said that the group’s aim was to “inflict pain on Israel.” He recently made a speech […]
Can the Lebanese Army Be Trusted to Crack Down on Hezbollah?
The ceasefire between Hezbollah and the IDF that the Americans helped to broker was based on the belief that the Lebanese Army, if adequately funded by Washington, would be able to force Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon and made to pull back north of the Litani River. Then the Lebanese National Army would take control […]
Michigan: Imam says Hassan Nasrallah and others who were killed in Lebanon and Yemen are ‘real winners’
This is because they have gained a place in paradise. Elahi also thinks that history is on the side of the Shi’ite Muslims and their allies in the jihad against Israel as he says: “‘And the Party of Satan are the losers.’ They are not going to be remembered with honor. They will be remembered […]
In Lebanon, Voices Are Now Raised Against Hezbollah
The rapid and nearly bloodless overthrow of Assad in Syria has turned that country from being a firm ally of Hezbollah and Iran into an implacable enemy of both. And inside Lebanon, Hezbollah has been so battered by the IDF that it had to beg for a ceasefire that requires it to withdraw its forces […]
Trump executive order enables deportation of foreign Hamas supporters
It’s high time that a strong Western leader cracked down on the “globalize the intifada” terrorist movement which supports Hamas and Hizballah objectives. Let’s hope that other countries follow Trump’s example. Western leaders are duty-bound to stop their countries from becoming copies of the turbulent, antisemitic, Islam-dominated Middle East. “Trump’s executive order allows deportation of […]
The U.S. Sent Over $3 Billion to Hezbollah’s ‘Army’
And the Biden administration recently sent millions more. In 2006, after a Hezbollah invasion, Israel launched a military campaign against the Islamic terrorist group. After a month of fighting, the Bush administration forced a ceasefire under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that required the disarmament of Hezbollah and its replacement by the Lebanese Army and […]
Biden Regime Shifts Millions in Aid from Israel to Hezbollah
When you’ve already spent $3 billion propping up the terrorists, what’s $7.5 million more? At this point, if Iran test detonates a nuke before Jan 20, I would put good money on someone in the Biden administration having Fed-Exed them the parts. Still trying to do the next best thing to it… The Biden administration in its […]
Lebanon’s New President Reflects Hezbollah’s Weakness
Joseph Aoun is the new president of Lebanon, a country that has gone without a president for the past two years. As required by the Lebanese Constitution, he is a Christian. And unlike his namesake and predecessor as president, Michel Aoun, Joseph Aoun is determinedly opposed to Hezbollah, and hopes to constrain its power. More […]
