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.

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.  

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.

In a rare exception to the rule, social media went viral over a pro-Jewish post this week in which actress Patricia Heaton installed a mezuzah on her doorpost “to show solidarity” with “Jewish friends and neighbors, fight anti-Semitism, and bless your household.” She then created a name for her campaign: #MyzuzahYourzuzah.
