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 United Nations was in high dudgeon in the aftermath of the pager and walkie talkie attacks against Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon. According to the Associated Press, the UN’s human rights chief Volker Türk has said that “weaponizing ordinary communication devices represents a new development in warfare, and targeting thousands of Lebanese people using pagers, two-way radios and electronic equipment without their knowledge is a violation of international human rights law.” “Those who ordered and carried out these attacks must be held to account,” he said.

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.
