I’m confused. All the couch Johnny-come-lately foreign policy experts are in an uproar and I can’t understand why. The Iran war two week ceasefire is supposedly upon us and these brilliant commentators are bellyaching that Israel is in violation of it because of their bombing of Lebanon and doing so with the sole purpose of destroying Hezbollah. From the outset of talks Israel had said they were not going to agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon and the US vice president as recently as Wednesday made it very clear Lebanon would not be and was never included. On social media, it seems some islamist in Pakistan says it was and the entire world is heaping more of its hatred on Israel for violating a ceasefire in Lebanon.

I’m gonna try to unpack this for those who don’t make use of their brains very often as well as all those backseat experts whose knowledge of conflicts on Israel’s borders began 15 minutes ago after watching AI generated posts on TikTok. For the last twenty years-I’ll write it again for the pea-brained-twenty years Hezbollah has been in violation of a ceasefire. In 2006 the worthless UN passed resolution 1701 which required Hezbollah to be north of the Litani river and Hezbollah to be disarmed. To help with that process, the UN sent troops-called UNFIL-to enforce the resolution. As early as 2006 Israel reported the violations and the feckless UN did nothing. Over the course of those next two decades Israel continued to report these constant violations, but the world said and did nothing and allowed the jihadists to continue to encroach on the agreed principles. Two more wars were fought with Hezbollah. The same truce agreement was enacted, the same world did nothing as it stood by and watched rockets fly into Israeli towns and cities.

Khawaja Muhammad Asif is the defense minister in Pakistan. A few interesting things about the newly minted experts may not know. Pakistan was founded in 1947 and is one of 50 muslim countries in the world. Strange how no one ever complains it was created on someone else’s land. Crazy how that happens, huh? While Asif has called for Israel’s destruction on many occasions and for years has been accusing us of genocide, his latest screed on “cancerous” Israel and Zionism is only unique by it’s timing, not its content. Keep in mind that as recently as last December Pakistan expelled over a million Afghans from its borders and the world said nothing. The Jews build a playroom extension to their home in Judea and are accused of being ethnic cleansing settler colonialists.

To all of you crying about Israel blowing up a ceasefire, sit down and pay attention. You had twenty years to deal with this problem. Lebanon had twenty years, the UN had twenty years, Iran had twenty years, the US had twenty years, the entire world had twenty years. YOU. DID. NOTHING. They violated 1701 every day for twenty years.

Israeli cities were being bombarded by Hezbollah and it meant nothing to you. Daily threats and encroachments on Israel’s borders for twenty years, y’all said nothing. This nitwit in Pakistan has been in government for over thirty years and not only did nothing, but nary a peep came out of his mouth as Hezbollah continued to threaten Israel with extinction. Not one word. Zero integrity and zero credibility equal who cares what you have to say.

Following October 7th, Israel has decided we will no longer be passive bystanders in our destruction. It is long past time to end the charade. For the last couple of weeks here, we’ve heard Bibi say Israel will not agree to any ceasefire that leaves the threat of Hezbollah south of........
