Washington warns Israel against ground invasion into Lebanon

A senior Biden administration official said on Monday that the United States opposed an Israeli ground invasion into Lebanon to push the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group from its border. U.S. officials have previously cautioned that an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah could have “catastrophic” consequences and that the Jewish state may “pay a heavy price without achieving its goals.” Undoubtedly, a ground operation is laden with risk. Yet since Hamas launched its war against Israel on Oct. 7, Washington has often tried to constrain Israel’s military operations by publicly casting doubt on the Jewish state’s ability to achieve its war aims. And Israel has repeatedly demonstrated that Washington’s fears were unsubstantiated.

Morning Intelligence Report

Taking advantage of the Freedom of Speech in America, the CCP has been engaging in a massive media war against America on American soil for decades. Recently, the CCP has further intensified its attack, especially on young Americans using various social media/streaming platforms, such as TikTok, YouTube, etc. This article presents only a few examples.

The CCP’s Chinese-language media in America often tend to be overlooked by Americans. Maybe this is due to the language barrier. These media aim to brainwash overseas Chinese with CCP’s propaganda. Exploiting their love for their home country, the CCP manipulates them to side with the CCP. It is a sad reality that to many overseas Chinese, loving China still means loving the CCP, while anti-CCP means anti-China, as they have been intoxicated to believe so.

Many of the Palestinian Authority’s most sophisticated officials, stationed around the world, have lauded the mass murder, gang rapes and baby-burnings of Oct. 7.

Dozens of Palestinian Authority diplomats around the world celebrated the Oct. 7 massacres, according to a new study. The revelations have important implications for anybody concerned about the prospects for Middle East peace.

The study was undertaken by GnasherJew, a group of British Jewish investigative journalists, and reported by The Jewish Chronicle based in London. GnasherJew is best known for exposing the antisemitic remarks made by Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of Britain’s Labour Party.

We’ve all experienced something like the following. The topic of politics comes up at a party, and someone in the group, seeking some way to say something smart but not divisive, will just toss out that we need to get rid of the Electoral College, the Constitution’s structure for electing the U.S. president and vice president.

The expectation is that everyone present will readily agree. And usually that is precisely what happens because few people have ever heard the other side.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued to strike Hezbollah sites in Lebanon on September 25, the third day of Israel’s “Northern Arrows” operation. In addition, the head of Israel’s Northern Command spoke to commanders of a key IDF armored brigade about the need to be ready for maneuver and action in Lebanon. The IDF said it was calling up two reserve brigades for operations in the north. Hezbollah also sought to illustrate that it possesses significant capabilities to strike at northern and central Israel.

The third day of Israel’s Operation Northern Arrows began with Hezbollah launching a ballistic missile toward Tel Aviv. The Iranian-backed terrorist group claimed in a statement that it had used a Qader-1 missile to target Israel’s Mossad headquarters. Hezbollah has blamed the Mossad for the exploding pagers that wounded thousands of its members on September 17. The ballistic missile was intercepted by Israel’s David’s Sling air defense system.

There is no legitimate way for Israel to take out a terrorist.

Daniel Greenfield | Sept 25, 2024

The myth that Israel’s tactics not its existence is at issue died with the murdered Jewish families on Oct 7 and the Hezbollah terrorists taken out by pagers on September 17 and 18.

No sooner did the encrypted communications devices handed out to members of the Islamic Jihadist group begin exploding than human rights experts and the UN began condemning the single greatest targeted attack on a terror group as a violation of international law. Those same organizations and activists had nothing to say about the Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israeli towns and villages that turned tens of thousands of Jews into refugees in their own country.

Peloni:  How crazy would the Americans have to be to follow the clarion call of the man who saw his own nation sewn into an ever reducing Rump, who betrayed his own constitution on a number of details not the least of which was his own re-election, and who has an ever insatiable appetite for endless war.  Indeed, as Zelensky is running out of Ukrainian youths who might be shoved into an unmarked vehicle and delivered to the Ukrainian front, he now countenances that this lack of available cannon fodder should be filled with the youth of America.

Volodymyr Zelensky speaks at U.N. General Assembly (YouTube)

I think his summary is fair enough. But it is not the real text. Zelensky really thinks he can get NATO (led by the United States) to commit air power and troops to fight in Ukraine. That is why he is campaigning for Kamala Harris in swing states, including Pennsylvania, because he knows that the American troops cannot be dispatched until after Harris wins the election.

Peloni: Mike explains how brilliantly Israel has re-established escallation dominance against Hezbollah in such a short period of time, noting that it is clear that these plans have been carefully crafted over a number of years.  He notes that Israel has been allowed to do so, however, only due to the fact that they have worked within the Redlines established by the US.  No doubt this is the basis of his thoughts on why Israel should pursue the enforcement of UNSC Res. 1701, as expressed in his Grim Reeper tweet, rather than eliminating the Iranian threat in the North altogether.  In fact, Israel can no longer live with the sword of Damacles ever wavering overhead, waiting for Iran to do in the North what they did in the South, or worse yet, a coordinated assault from all the Iranian threats at once.  Iran’s capability to threaten Israel must be eliminated, not deterred, and the time to do so should be now, not at some point in the future.

Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups are not speaking the same language the U.S. State Department speaks and words like “de-escalation” hold no meaning.

Israel’s magnificent operations last week eliminated and/or incapacitated thousands of Hezbollah terrorists, as well as eliminated members of the Radwan force who were planning an “Oct. 7-style” attack on Israeli citizens in the Galilee. Finally receiving their just desserts were two men wanted by the FBI for the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 247 Americans, 57 French servicemen and six civilians. (The second terrorist was taken out on the 40th anniversary of the attack.)

There was no “thank you” from the Biden-Harris administration. After a bit of stiffness, the administration admitted that “nobody sheds a tear” for them.

American Jews need to appropriately prioritize and act accordingly. How could Jews turn their back on the man who did so much for Israel? How could they ignore the lack of unambivalent support that Harris represents?

The view of the American political scene from Israel is looking increasingly surreal. We are seeing the normalization of the most radical Presidential candidate since Henry Wallace. Kamala Harris’s voting record and pronouncements should be causing jaw dropping reappraisals by all Americans who cherish the exceptionalism of America and its values.

Jewish parents have always worried, but since October 7th fears and concerns are justified and amplified in an America dominated by antisemitism.

When it comes to university choices in North America, any Jew who considers enrolling in Harvard or Columbia or University of Michigan or NYU or UCLA, or any of the other schools that day after day see horrific antisemitism, needs a psychiatrist rather than a university degree. All of the petitions and demands have fallen on deaf ears and it is past time to expect change.

Peloni:  The hubris of assuming that radicals might be deradicalized requires us to assume that their radical nature might be bartered or explained away, and herein lies a great misconception about the very nature of radicals.  Notably, the wanton bloodlust of the likes of Hamas and Fatah will not be extinquished by education, wealth or time.  Indeed, think of Sinwar and ask  yourself what you might offer him to set aside his quest of Jihad.  Don’t labor too hard on this task because the answer is NOTHING.  They don’t want opportunity, and they don’t want wealth, and they don’t want education.  They simply want to kill Jews in the most barbaric and macabre manner imaginable.  We must treat these radicals with the respect which their threat to society requires and understand that the word salad of denazification is pretending away a very big problem which only leads towards ever greater problems being created.

The basis of the Palestinian national identity systematically erases all Jewish connection to our ancestral homeland.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a man of considerable intellect and experience, shaped by his background as the son of a renowned historian. He is undoubtedly aware of the complex and often brutal history of antisemitism that has plagued the Middle East.

Despite this, Netanyahu’s recent statements seem to reflect a dangerous optimism about the potential for deradicalizing the Muslim enemy in our midst, specifically, the Arabs in Gaza. While his intentions are undoubtedly rooted in a desire for peace and coexistence, his approach appears increasingly disconnected from the harsh realities on the ground and more focused on appeasing the Western world.

Negotiations with Hamas were exposed as hollow farce when six hostages were executed to prevent their rescue – in tunnels built with humanitarian aid provided by the west.

Whereas the Biden administration persists in demanding that Israel negotiate with terrorists who tortured, raped and murdered her citizens, Hamas has been honest about its commitment to jihad and genocide irrespective of negotiations. One need only read its charter to know its objective was never really the creation of a Palestinian state, but the destruction of Israel and extermination of the Jews.
