Orchestrator of Abraham Accords slams calls for ceasefire:
“There is no going back for Israel”

September 27, 2024, is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

The United Nations was in high dudgeon in the aftermath of the pager and walkie talkie attacks against Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon. According to the Associated Press, the UN’s human rights chief Volker Türk has said that “weaponizing ordinary communication devices represents a new development in warfare, and targeting thousands of Lebanese people using pagers, two-way radios and electronic equipment without their knowledge is a violation of international human rights law.” “Those who ordered and carried out these attacks must be held to account,” he said.

In a story so unbelievable that it would be rejected by a Hollywood studio for being too unrealistic, Israel managed to decimate Hezbollah in three days.  What was unleashed last week upon the Lebanon-based terror organization is nothing short of a modern miracle.  Of course, all the worst people in the world are attacking Israel for going after an enemy that has fired thousands of rockets at them for the past year.  The reaction from the American media and political class is, for the most part, morally abhorrent.  

Ever wonder why so many in the foreign policy establishment push for de-escalation, a cease fire, or a two-state solution? Why are so many people who are responsible for the actions and decisions made by their nation and ours so blind to the facts that every person who davens next to you or sits around your table sees so clearly? Could it be that they all simply hate Israel and the Jewish people and want to see them both destroyed? That is certainly true with a core percentage of them, but it doesn’t account for all of them.

The criticism of the tactics and the fact that it inspired some laughter from besieged Israelis speak volumes about the moral sickness afflicting many Western liberals.

Why The Reactions To Israel’s Strikes On Hezbollah Matter

 (Sep. 20, 2024 / JNS) It was the covert operation that inspired thousands of Internet memes. The simultaneous explosion of thousands of pagers in the possession of Hezbollah operatives followed a day later by a similar mass explosion of terrorist walkie-talkies was the top story across the world this week.
