Israel is fighting alone…

Israel is fighting alone…

…a war for the soul of the world.

Hezbollah, with the malevolent patronage of Iran, has transformed Lebanon into a terror state.

It is not a democracy with patches of terror.
It is a country totally consumed by radical Shiite terror.

The Lebanese Government failed their people totally by allowing Hezbollah and Iran to take such a grip on their country.

The French Government under Macron, who historically see themselves as patrons of Lebanon, have totally failed that country.

The United Nations, particularly the Security Council, failed Lebanon and Israel for not enforcing their Resolution 1701 which demanded of a malevolent Hezbollah to retire north of the Litani River.

So the world created the current crisis by tolerating the intolerable.
Their silence, their total inaction, as they watched Hezbollah fire TEN THOUSAND ROCKETS into Israel with the consequential death, damage, and displacement of our population.

So is it any wonder that, after a full year of restraint, Israel began to take the action it should have taken many months ago.

This action became an imperative when Israeli intelligence learnt that Iran and Hezbollah planned a massive invasion into Israel by tens of thousands of Iran-trained, battled-hardened, heavily armed Radwan terrorists who, under the umbrella of thousands of rockets and missiles, launch their campaign entitled “Conquest of the Galilee,” significantly timed for the 7th of October, 2024.

And now, the West again disappoints Israel.

Instead of supporting us, they demand that we stop defending our people and our country, and surrender to a ceasefire, because they cannot tolerate the sight of our affirmative Jewish collective using our superior intelligence and our courageous young generation in upholding the Jewish ethics of NEVER AGAIN and MASADA WILL NOT FALL AGAIN!

So. Sorry world. Get used to it.

We didn’t begin the bloodbath of Hamas’s 7/10, 2023.

We didn’t start the intended Iran-Hezbollah blood bath of 7/10, 2024.

But we will do what we need to do for victory over the jihadi barbarians for the sake of our existence, for the sake of establishing a defiant deterrent as we had to do in our past against five Arab armies.

We have to win this fight, a war that we didn’t want, a war that was imposed on us against our will and inclination.

We have to win this war for humanity, for Western civilization – even if the myopic West is blind to what is at stake, here in the Middle East.

Because here, in the Middle East, if we lose, you are lost.

Because if we lose, the moderate Arab states are next in line to lose against an Iranian-led radical Islamic hegemony, based here in the Middle East.

This is the reality of what we are up against, against a backdrop of an ignorant and delusional world.

A world that seems to have lost its common sense. It’s moral compass.
