British journalist Brendan O’Neill is appalled at the way so many in the West paint Israel’s efforts to defend itself as “war crimes.” No matter how precisely it attacks its targets — as the Hezbollah possessors of pagers, hand-held radios, and walkie-talkies were — the IDF is accused of “indiscriminate” killing in Lebanon. No matter how many ways the IDF warns civilians in Gaza to leave places and buildings that are about to be targeted, Israel remains accused of “indiscriminate” bombing. For too many people around the world, everything Israel does is “a war crime.” More on this world-wide condemnation of the Jewish state for defending itself can be found here: “This wasn’t a war crime – it was an audacious assault on anti-Semites,” by Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, September 18, 2024:
…All eyes are on Israel, naturally. Experts suspect Mossad intercepted a massive stash of pagers destined for Hezbollah militants and planted explosive material in the batteries. Then they sent a signal, from hundreds of miles away, that caused the batteries to overheat and eventually to blow up. The planning required for such a spectacular op blows the mind – no pun intended. I know Israelophobia is the default position of the influential classes, but surely even they will admit this was an ingenious way for the Jewish State to take out the adherents to a self-styled ‘army of god’ that has sworn itself to excising the ‘cancerous growth’ of Zionism from the Middle East. (They mean Jews.)…
That many in the West view Israel’s every action as criminal is depressing, but not surprising. Fundamentally, they think it is a crime for Israel to defend itself. They think it is a crime for Israel to take any action that might limit the threat posed by the apocalyptic anti-Semitism of Hezbollah and Hamas. And they think this because they think Israel’s very existence is a crime. They view the Jewish State as a criminal enterprise, a vile, law-defying blot not only on the Middle East but also on the reputation of humankind itself. When you harbour such intense, irrational hatred for one nation, it is a short step to telling that nation to down its weapons, lower its defences and let itself be attacked.
Make no mistake, this is what the radical accusers of Israel are saying when they tell it to stop bombing Hamas, stop attacking Hezbollah militants, stop arming itself, stop everything. They are saying leave your enemy be, and let your people be murdered. They can call this ‘anti-Zionism’ as much as they like, but to many of us their bizarre and cruel singling out of the world’s only Jewish nation as the only nation that is forbidden from fighting its enemies smacks of anti-Semitism. If you are stony-faced when Jews are murdered, but furious when their murderers have 20 grams of explosives put in the batteries of their pagers, then please remove the word ‘anti-fascist’ from your social-media bio, please refrain from calling yourself ‘anti-racist’, and please cease all future use of the word ‘progressive’.
Through those weaponised pagers, Israel sent an important message not only to Hezbollah but also to the world. It let the world know that you cannot kill Jews with impunity anymore. Those days are gone. Kill Jews now – as Hamas and Hezbollah have both done, as part of their fascistic war on the Jewish State – and there will be consequences. You might lose a bollock, you might lose your life. That the racist militants of Iranian-sponsored Islamism are peeved that Jew-killing is no longer acceptable makes sense. That so many ‘progressives’ in the West also seem put out by the fact that killing Jews is a riskier business today than it was in earlier centuries is more disturbing. Paging the Western left: racist terrorism must always be resisted.
When it comes to the Jewish state, many in the Western world have become morally unhinged. They would deny Israel the right, and with arms embargos the ability, to defend itself against those who make no secret of their desire to destroy the Jewish state.. The West does not realize that the same forces of Islam that cannot accept Israel’s existence are also those that, thanks to the 50 million Muslims who now live in Europe and whose numbers inexorably increase would, if they could, make Islam everywhere dominant, and Muslims rule, everywhere.
And the UN chooses the Terrorists Side no surprised since many UN Nations are Terrorist supporters
Every time Israel makes concessions it just receives more rocket attacks in return and more “international” condemnations for its continuing existence.
The lockstep from “progressives” is scarily reminiscent of the Nuremberg rallies – it is as if there is some sort of mass hypnotism in progress. Even if they do not accept the Biblical narrative, if they believe that the San Remo Treaty should not have been signed, then they need to take diplomatic steps to try to overturn it .
Regarding the position of Frontpagemag that Iran is trying to kill Trump.Russia has military alliances with Iran,China and North Korea.It has given them all the blueprint on how to make Mach 10 hypersonic missiles.The fastest there is,nothing can stop them or detect them. Russia installed in Iran the best defense system against missiles and planes.Thousands of Russian experts are in Iran managing it against an Israeli attack.
Recently Trump approved an article written by his son Donald Trump Jr and RFK Jr.It is ”Negotiate with Moscow to end the Ukraine war and prevent nuclear devastation”
https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4882868-negotiate-with-moscow-to-end-the-ukraine-war-and-prevent-nuclear-devastation/
They say,”And for what? To “weaken Russia”? To control Ukraine’s minerals? No vital American interest is at stake. To risk nuclear conflict for the sake of the neoconservative fantasy of global “full-spectrum dominance” is madness.”
Russia wants Trump to win.In the interest of peace.Why would Iran want to kill Trump if it goes against the interest of its military ally Russia? It is fake news like Russiagate.
Can’t wait for you to get bored posting here.
On Friday there was a meeting between Trump and Zelensky. Russia and Iran are military allies.Trump wants a quick end of the Ukraine war.Russia has used its influence on Iran to prevent,so far,a general war in the Middle East.
Why would Iran be planning to assassinate Trump?In the Friday meeting Trump said to Zelensky,”I have a great relationship with Putin.” He said Great. Not just good. Zelensky then said,”I hope you have more good relations with us.”
Trump answered,”Well you know,it takes two to tango,you know.”
RLagrange;
Are you pretending to be stupid and silly or is it you’re not pretending and you really are stupid and silly? Tell you what, go eat your Froot Loops, drink your soda pop and watch cartoons (MSNBC, ABC, et al.) Leave the smart stuff to the adults kiddo. Your IQ isn’t high enough to opine in this forum. Now blow your nose and run along..!!
Instead of your foul mouth use logic. Are you really pro-Trump,pro-MAGA? Or are you so anti-Putin you want the possibility of a nuclear war.That would mean the end of America. Do you care? You should because it would also mean the destruction of Israel,and the world.Investigate.
Probably you believe that China has 1 million Uyghurs in concentration camps.With the intention of genocide. Here is the origin.In 2018 an NGO said it had interviewed 8 Uyghurs.They said they were from 8 different villages in the Kashgar Prefecture.They said each village has 1,500-3,000 people.
And that from mid 2017 to mid 2018 some 200 to 500 from each village had been taken to a camp.The NGO never gave evidence the 8 villagers existed.Even if true,it is NOT 1 million. Based on that only is the claim.Repeated by the neocons,by the CIA and Globalists.
• Lebanon is Hezbollah’s headquarters.
• The UN is Hezbollah’s hind quarters.
• Diplomats in Turtle Bay should be glad that Israel went after Lebanon…..first. This lends them the time they need to get the hell out of there with their hearts (such as they are) still beating.
Leon Panetta,is the former CIA director (2009-2011) then Secretary of Defense (the head of the United States Department of Defense, the executive department of the U.S. Armed Forces) (2011-2013).
After exploding pagers mostly used by Hezbollah soldiers,the next day Israel exploded walkie talkies.Killing 20 and wounding 450. Reading on the details,those 450 walkie talkies were used by civilians. Civilians. That is why Panetta has said,”“I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism. This has gone right into the supply chain. Right into the supply chain. And when you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: What the hell is next?”
Intentionally killing Lebanese civilians.
Those. walkie talkies were ordered, paid for and delivered to Hezbollah. Hezbollah.
Hezbollah distributed these walkie tales to their operatives and or supporters to replace Hezbollah cell phones they had been ordered to dump. Civilians? Sure thing.
Hezbollah is a military and also political and administrative organization.It has charities and social welfare and schools and hospitals. Those are civilians. Even if they support Hezbollah they are unarmed civilians.
Teachers,doctors,nurses,janitors,cleaning staff,cooks.
According to the Geneva 1949 Convention killing them,targeting them is a war crime.The CIA has carried out killing of civilians with Operation Gladio.Hundreds of European civilians killed.Would that justify killing the civilians who work there.
The PKK wants Kurdish independence for the Kurds of Turkey ( 20% of the population).It is Marxist and military.It is considered by the US to be terrorist.Why?Because besides killing Turkish soldiers they have killed many government workers,civilian officials,office workers. Unarmed civilians.
All Hezbollah supporters are enablers of terrosim and deserve their just reward. Elimination. They were not unarmed they were armed with Hezbollah walkie-talkies and or pagers.
