Why Israel and Hezbollah Are Still Firing Amid a Lebanon Cease-Fire – The New York Times Is it a ceasefire if the fire has not ceased? A question from an era where words actually mattered and journalism didn’t consist of copying White House and Brookings Institute press releases. Hezbollah and Israel Trade Fire, Further Testing […]
Biden’s Lebanon Ceasefire Already Fell Apart
The ceasefire lasted approximately 4 days. Lucy and the football. Ceasefires with terrorists always play out the same way. An elaborate series of understandings are reached through an extended process of negotiations. The terrorists start violating them within 24 hours. If Israel is involved, the world immediately blames Israel. Biden’s Lebanon ceasefire lasted approximately 4 […]
How the IDF Did It: The 7th Armored Brigade in Southern Lebanon
An interview with Colonel Elad Zuri, the commander of the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade, provides a glimpse into how the IDF protects the people, and the state, of Israel, from those who would destroy both. In southern Lebanon, the fighters — most of them reservists — of the 7th Armored Brigade, having previously fought in […]
The Fighting Goes On Despite Fake Hezbollah Ceasefire
“This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” said Biden. Ceasefires against Islamic terrorists are observed mainly in the breach. Islamic terrorists don’t observe actual ceasefires, they use them to reorient and regroup, but continue attacking to celebrate their ‘victory’.

What’s Wrong with the Israel-Lebanon Agreement? Everything.

More of his view of the agreement can be found here: “Don’t Celebrate Israel’s Ceasefire with Hezbollah Yet,” by Michael Rubin, Middle East Forum, November 26, 2024: On November 26, 2024, in a […]
Hizballah immediately violates ceasefire agreement with Israel
The Biden-Harris regime won’t care. It wanted to pressure Israel to stop fighting, or else, and it succeeded. If Israel considers the agreement moot now and continues to fight, it will resume its pressure. The regime is desperate to ensure that Hizballah, as well as Hamas, survive to kill more Israeli civilians another day. “Israel […]
Biden Regime Used Arms Embargo Threat to Save Hezbollah From Israel
“Threatening to facilitate a further, broader, binding international arms embargo.” The Biden administration, the media and the rest of the political infrastructure are billing this as a ‘ceasefire’ deal. In reality, it’s a worthless agreement with Lebanon’s puppet regime which is controlled by Hezbollah. Hezbollah has made it clear that it’s going to continue attacking […]
Iran’s military vows retaliation ‘beyond what Israeli leaders can imagine’ as Lebanon ceasefire talks advance
Iran’s intentions are clear as its leaders routinely shout “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” but its abilities at this point paint a very different picture. Israeli officials say that “Iran is now defenseless against further airstrikes, if it attacks Israel.” Combine this with Iran’s knowledge about what’s coming: the incoming Trump administration, which […]

And Israel wants the IDF’s right to enter Lebanon to ensure […]
