As I write this, Israel may have succeeded in killing Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime head of Iranian terror proxy and regional menace, Hezbollah. I came across the following post on X which sums up much of my thinking as the world reacts to Israel's existential war against these terrorists - terrorists who also happen to have killed over 200 American Marines in Beirut in October of 1983.
I wish you all a good weekend.
When Hezbollah was starving entire Syrian towns and murdering civilians for Assad, the world was silent.
When Hezbollah was regularly persecuting and attacking Christians in Lebanon, the word was silent.
When Hezbollah stockpiled a hundred thousands rockets from Tehran and put them in residential buildings and towns preparing for a war they wanted, the world was silent.
When Hezbollah started launching daily rocket attacks and displaced hundreds of thousands of Israelis after 10/7, the world was silent.
But when Israel started taking out or blowing the nuts off the group that has been terrorizing the region for decades, suddenly the world is very concerned.
Just once it would be nice if the concern started when the terrorizing was happened instead of when the victims of it started fighting back.

As a friend says, no Jews, no news. Think Myanmar, Sudan, Syria slaughtering its own citizens, Saudi Arabia in Yemen…….
