In previous posts I had highlighted some of the family members of American victims of Hezbollah terror back in the 1980s asking why the United States could not have done what Israel just did. Obviously we could have.
And administration after administration chose not to.
The Reagan administration wanted to focus on the Cold War. The Bush I administration just did whatever the Saudis and Kuwaitis told them to and at the time the Saudis had other fish to fry. The Clinton administration was the next phase of the Carter administration and the prep phase for what would become the Obama administration. The Bush II administration did some good things but unfortunately, its attention ended up being held hostage by the extended nation-building attempt in Iraq. The Obama administration was actively allied with Iran. The Trump administration took out Iran’s terror boss Soleimani. And the Biden administration is to the Obama administration what it was to the Clinton administration.
And so Jared Kushner makes this startling point. “And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years.”
Israel’s accomplishments are unquestionably impressive, but that statistic is really due to two decades of inaction.
Consider stories like these which I’ve highlighted in the past.
A retired Navy SEAL whose brother was killed by Hezbollah terrorists expressed relief when he heard that Hassan Nasrallah was killed.
“When the sun went down yesterday, the world was a better place with Nasrallah not in it,” Kenneth Stethem told The Post on Saturday, less than 24 hours after Nasrallah, 64, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Beirut suburb.
Stethem planned to break the news about Nasrallah’s death to his father, now 88, on Saturday.
When they last spoke two days ago, as Israel was bombarding Hezbollah, Stethem said he told his father, “Lady karma doesn’t forget, and tonight in Israel, the same people responsible for killing Rob are hearing bombs go off all around them.”
“He’s going to be grateful that [Hezbollah] was damaged as badly as they were damaged,” he told The Post of how he expected his dad to respond to the update.
Stethem’s mother died two years ago, but “she would be very grateful for what the Israelis had the courage to do,” the brother said.
This was how he was killed.
Robert Stethem, a Navy diver, was brutally murdered when Hezbollah terrorists took over TWA flight 847. The Iranian-backed terrorists, one of whom was Imad Mughniyah, beat and kicked him to death.
“They were jumping in the air and landing full force on his body. He must have had all his ribs broken,” Uli Derickson, the stewardess, described. “I was sitting only 15 feet away. I couldn’t listen to it. I put my fingers in my ears. I will never forget. I could still hear. They put the mike up to his face so his screams could be heard by the outside world.”
Why did we forget this? Why didn’t we pay these bastards back? That’s a question to be asked in D.C.

I used to think people had to experience disaster to wake up from their illusions. But people often don’t make the correct inferences from disaster. They find it easier to make inferences from stories they hear,

“I used to think people had to experience disaster to wake up from their illusions.”
Part of being an adult is anticipating dangers, in order to avoid disasters for your own children, and teaching them to do the same. A good driver is one who anticipates danger, even if it means using his imagination. You always have to imagine the worst. But a world of fantasy has been opened, and many people have rushed into it, drowned in it: the Avengers are going to save us… and there is fresh meat downstairs in the supermarket, water flowing from your taps, no need to go and confront violence to eat, and your mobile phone tells you everything… The television works, Netflix works, the Internet works, money comes out of the cash machines, everything is fine… And one day two planes piloted by terrorists crash into two buildings right in front of your house. and you didn’t know that every day Islamists massacre people in the world, and that you were just on the list among others. “Islam is a religion of love and peace”… Look at the Muslim who owns the store, look how nice he is… and you don’t listen to the Muslims who screamed with joy in the prisons the day of the attack… You don’t want to see them, hear them…. You just want to see the nice Muslim who owns the store on the corner. And you will continue to live like that, in your fantasy world, reading novels, watching movies, and doing everything so that the Muslim people are not victims of discrimination. 62,000 Christians, in Nigeria alone, have been massacred since the 2000s by Muslims. Hundreds and hundreds of Israeli Jews have been massacred in Eretz Yisrael by Muslims, and it started before the arrival of Zionism in this region. And you let the devil into your house, and one day you realize that he has just massacred in the most atrocious conditions possible, 1200 people, women, children, old people. But yet it started in the 19th century… Didn’t you know that?

and your point is – sounds like a big sigh – but there is no real point to your discourse
Nicolas Carras says
“but there is no real point to your discourse”
What you write has no value without explanation. Explain to me why there is no real point to my discourse…
First of all, this is not a discours, but more of a mood piece, written in a totally spontaneous way.
This is a first draft without any editing written in one go.
Any criticism is welcome, but your comment is not a criticism. It explains nothing.
Good evening.

The professor is well aware of the situations. But he lives among Californians, and I assure you that many of them have absolutely no idea of what you’re posting about here.
And I’m certain that if you told them the truth, they would call a Nasti.

For those successful graduates of the dingy Harry school of terrorist identification, the current Biden-Harris regime has indeed persecuted many J6 participants who would qualify as terrorists by that definition.

I hope navy diver, Bob Stetham, up in in heaven knows about this.

It would be of great benefit to Lebanon to be rid of the Hezbollahs.
Mark Cogley says
Even Israel didn’t undertake this untill the casus belli of October 7.
MuggsSpongedice says
Because it was like cutting the red wire or blue wire – MOSSAD has known their whereabouts but taking them out would be perceived as an act of aggression – as it is, Israel defending itself is being accused by the UN and the fake news main sleaze media as the terrorist nation and guilty of genocide and antisemitism has blown up all over the world –
Nicolas Carras says
Hamas should have been exterminated for years. Many in Israel wanted it, they were demonized and classified as racist… and on top of that the government betrayed part of its people by leaving Gaza to the Arab authorities.
This was experienced as a great sadness, a violent psychological shock, a knife in the chest.
We have known since its birth that Hamas is a violently anti-Jewish group. I have been writing for years that Hamas must be annihilated. You cannot live with the devil in your house. It is not possible. For over a hundred years, an anti-Jewish entity, in violent anti-Jewish activities, has been raging in Eretz Itsrael.
Explain to me how is it possible that this entity was still there on October 7, 2023? After all the horrors it has committed?
Israel lost the media war and made too many concessions.
In the end, so that 1200 Israelis are exterminated. On a very long list of pogroms since the 19th century.
That’s the reality.
Fred says
Israel has a long memory. Their operatives tracked down Germans involved in the Holocaust and kidnapped them back to Israel, then tried them. They tracked down those involved in the Munich Olympic Games massacre and did away with them. And now they have killed people like Nasrallah, who is responsible for many American deaths as well as Israeli ones, and sent him to the great beyond. Should America have a similar policy? I for one would like to see us consider it. Right now we are toothless.

“Bush I administration just did whatever the Saudis and Kuwaitis told them to” – and Dick-Head Halliburton Cheney is supporting Cackling Kamalalala a witch whore of Babylon because there is profit to be made in wars as well as money laundering.
Oh yes, if their treasonous crimes where young soldiers were sent into a war created for the purpose of money laundering, war profiteering and of course in Iraq, the oil, they would not be free men and women, but locked up.
HellAry Klingon and Benghazi.
Kamalalala, the border czar, finally visits the border less than 40 days before the election, Her answer to Lester Holt: Have you been to the border? Cackles: What does that question mean? I haven’t been to Europe either.
It’s not just young soldiers getting slaughtered in these made up wars, it’s the innocent civilians who only want to live and love and raise their families – then they turn to hate the USA as much as they did the dictators who were put there by the CIA and MI6 in the case of the end of WW1 when they went from coal burning ships to fuel and the oil rich region, they created borders and called it Iraq. Within those borders was tribes and whoever got to power like Sadman Insane took vengeance on the other tribes by gassing hundreds of thousands of them!! But that did not draw UN attention and ire, it was the made up WMD that then the Bush 2 organization joked about at the press club dinner while soldiers and civilians perished!!!!!
Nicolas Carras says
” then they turn to hate the USA”
They hate all that is not Muslim since Medina where the first massacres took place, the first poets assassinated under the orders of Mohammed, and for 1400 years have been waging war on the West, the Jews, the Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, animists… between 250 million and 750 million dead.
In the 20th century alone, between 7 and 11 million people were massacred in the name of Islam.
They did not wait for the United States or the CIA, to hate what they consider to be an error to be rectified, in order to put all humanity back in the house of Islam, the world being for them originally Muslim.
Adam being for them a Muslim prophet
Every good Muslim must work to bring all humanity back into the house of Islam.
And it starts since Medina, not since the creation of the United States.
Nicolas Carras says
And as a reminder, America since its independence has been hated by a whole bunch of enemies of freedom. Nothing new under the sun. And socialism, communism, statism, have never hated America because of the fact that it has engaged in wars, but simply because of its freedom, economic freedom, liberal capitalism… therefore, for what America has intrinsically been since the founding fathers. This hatred has continued into the 20th century. CIA or not, Vietnam War or not…

The answer to islamists terrorism today is the same answer to Pyongyang in July, 1050, Hanoi in 1963, Kabul in 2001: Ike’s MR policy. Had we continued and implemented that, millions of lives, trillions of dollars and much of Western Civ would have been saved. Mostly because, had we nuked Pyongyang in 1950, Vietnam probably wouldn’t have happened, Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait probably wouldn’t have happened, Jr Bush playing mine’s bigger in Iraq in 2003, wouldn’t have happened, etc.

“Why didn’t we do this?…Why did we forget this? Why didn’t we pay these bastards back?”
“Who is the ‘they’ that have someone in contact with him? Where did the picture come from?”
—Special Agent Tom Hastings, FBI CIRG, 24 September 2008
“On December 30, 2010, Special Agent Greg W. McNutt of the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) … stated that the source told his boss that the FBI should make contact with [X1/SEAL] and [X2/FLEO] regarding the documents and for further inquiry about Mohammed Hamadei … McNutt stated that the names of [X1/SEAL] and [X2/FLEO] had been extracted from the documents the source gave to the FBI, that he had completed background investigations of both and was aware of who they are. He said that he had interviewed Brian Ross and the source of the documents and had received conflicting stories as to why ABC News “dropped” the Hamadei story. McNutt said he wanted to interview [X1/SEAL] and [X2/FLEO] concerning their knowledge and activities regarding Mohammed Hamadei, and requested that [S5] reveal contact information for both. [S5] declined … McNutt requested that [S5] forward his contact information to [X1/SEAL] and [X2/FLEO], and requested that they both contact him. To that end apparently, he provided the main switchboard number for the WFO.”
“[SA] Murphy began by asking me if I knew if [HAMADEI] was alive … Murphy continuously mentioned the name of a ‘former SEAL type’ living in [REDACTED] … Murphy asked if I knew any individuals who had been given the information about [HAMADEI], including his picture. I stated that I had knowledge that officials from DOJ, FBI, DOS, and members of Congress had all been contacted by my sources, and none of them acted on the information … Murphy asked me about the FBI [composite] and why the mole was relocated. I said he should check with his superiors on that one … I told Murphy that at a certain point, I realized the story was extremely scandalous.”

Indeed, so many questions to be asked OF the District of Criminals and its media propagandists.
