This is an excellent post from Eva Barlow, who is one of my favorite commentators on the current situation in Israel. It includes the remarkable speech from Netanyahu given to the United Nations moments before the attack that killed Hassan Nasrallah in a demonstration of Jewish Chutzpah. So many democrats hate Netanyahu. It is my feeling that history will see him as a hero who put a stop to terrorism, yea, anti-Western terrorism, in the Middle East. A great evil has been removed from this world; in reality, many great evils. I applaud Israel's decision to not back down to world pressure and to continue the fight to a decisive win for human and humane values. This view will undoubtedly make me unpopular on DU, but hey, I already am scorned by many for speaking my truth and for being unapologetically proud of our people.
Sorry, not sorry.
Like a scene out of The Godfather Pt III, Prime Minister Netanyahu went to the UN an international institution salivating in antisemitism while his nations army had its hand over the button to destroy Hezbollah. In a move of sheer genius, he delivered his no bullshit speech and minutes later the IDF took out the entire chain of command of Hezbollah, including Hassan Nasrallah in a huge round of explosions on the terrorist organizations headquarters. Nasrallah - the butcher of Lebanon not only turned Lebanon into a terrorist holding bay but he slaughtered scores of Americans. It was Bibi and the IDF who got justice for decades worth of Hezbollahs victims, not the United Nations. What an embarrassment for them.
