Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was killed last night in an Israeli air strike on Beirut, as part of its ongoing offensive in southern Lebanon.
Nasrallah’s death exposes the glaring omission in most of the media coverage of the conflict. Few outlets seem willing to recognise the fact that Israel faces an annihilationist threat from the Iran-backed terrorist group and its Islamist allies.
In previous posts I had highlighted some of the family members of American victims of Hezbollah terror back in the 1980s asking why the United States could not have done what Israel just did. Obviously we could have.
And administration after administration chose not to.
Almost imperceptibly from Canada, the countries of the comparatively advanced world whose politics are more or less democratic, are edging back from their infatuation with the woke and racially atomized and extreme green, left. The shocking wave of antisemitism that freakishly arose after the barbarous assault of Hamas on Israel last October, has largely subsided. The campuses are quiet, the public is tired of having streets disrupted by ridiculous demonstrations proclaiming that the Jews have no right to be in the land of Israel, where they have been for more than 5,000 years, and the burdens of political correctness are becoming insufferable to the sensible majority of most western countries.
This seems a touch optimistic but I am curious about the turnouts on the upcoming anniversary of Oct 7.
I don’t bother going downtown where most of these demo’s take place but that’s due primarily to traffic and urban decay.
Missisaugastan is a place I avoid and Brampton may as well be in South Asia as far as I am concerned.
The crowds of the first Hamas support rallies in Canada may not be matched again but that doesn’t mean the Mohammedans and their useful idiot allies have had a change of heart.
Last week, on a single day of an undeclared war, one of the protagonists suffered more than 500 deaths and more than 1,600 wounded, a total of over 2,200 casualties.
The country in question has a population of 5 million. Now imagine if that casualty figure had occurred in a country with a population of, say, 90 million; the proportionate casualty figure would work out at a staggering 34,000.
Well, as you guessed, the first country mentioned is Lebanon, which has been dragged into a war on behalf of the second country, that is to say the Islamic Republic of Iran.
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis suggested Sunday that Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon have been “immoral” and disproportionate, saying its military domination has gone beyond the rules of war.
Francis was asked en route home from Belgium about Israel’s targeted killing of one of Hezbollah’s founding members, Hassan Nasrallah. Friday’s strike in Beirut targeted an area greater than a city block and reduced several residential buildings to rubble, and at least six other deaths have been confirmed.
The Israeli Air Force launched airstrikes Sunday against infrastructure in western Yemen that the military said was used by the Houthis, in a response to recent ballistic missile attacks on the Jewish state carried out by the Iran-backed group.
It was only the second-ever Israeli strike in Yemen, after in July, the IAF conducted an attack on Yemen’s Hodeidah port after a drone hit Tel Aviv, killing a man in his apartment.
The strike in Yemen on Sunday was more extensive compared to the one in July. It also came as the IAF had struck targets in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and allegedly in Syria during the day, amid a multifront war.

All the oil infrastructure is gone too. Back to the stone age for f*cking with Israel!

In June, Hashem Safieddine, the possible heir to the now dead Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, threatened Israel by saying, “Let (the enemy) prepare himself to cry and wail.”
But for quite some time, and especially since October 7, Israel has not been content to just mourn its dead, to watch idly as bombs rain down on its cities, or to be the world’s scapegoat for all the troubles in the Middle East.
At McGill and Concordia they are literally announcing that they will celebrate October 7th.
That’s what this is and that’s who they are.

For decades he was the face of the Iran-backed group, and once claimed victory over Israel, but his death in an airstrike shows none of its enemies in the Middle East are safe, writes an expert on the region
“The Israeli military warship which assaulted our infrastructure, look at it … burning.” As the camera cut to footage of the burning warship in the sea opposite Beirut, the words of Hezbollah’s secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, in a televised speech during the 2006 war between Israel and the Iran-backed group cemented his image as a larger-than-life leader. He was the strongest paramilitary and political actor in Lebanon for more than three decades and his killing by Israel is a transformative moment for the group and will have repercussions across the region.
The plan had been years in the making, the target one of the most famous figures in the Arab world, and one of the most hated in Israel.
In the 11 days before it was implemented, Israel had conducted a military campaign of metronomic efficiency in Lebanon, each phase meticulously and ruthlessly executed, each blow delivered as Hezbollah was still staggering from the one that preceded it.
But then, at dusk on Friday, came the heaviest blow of them all — one that may forever cripple Hezbollah, weaken Iranian influence and potentially even reshape the Middle East itself.

I see the hands of foreign interference at work.
I also see the inevitable result of identity politics and a deliberately destructive immigration policy.
Canada is being reduced to warring factions within a balkanized society where foreign tribes have been encouraged to import their ethnic and religious conflicts.
Multiculturalism and diversity has taught them to reject integration with Canadian society.
Each tribe is provided official government victim status and encouraged to commit violence to assert that claim.
One tribe is never allowed to speak out though.
Canada and Canadians be damned is the motto of our ruling class.
Ontario Education Minister Jill Dunlop is advising school boards to leave politics out of the classroom in the lead-up to the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 terror attack which sparked the Israel-Hamas war.
“Our government firmly believes in the safety and well-being of all children in Ontario schools,” Dunlop wrote in a memo recently circulated to school board chairs and directors of education and obtained by CTV News Toronto.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the IDF’s strike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut on Friday, the IDF announced Saturday morning.
Almost 32 years after co-founding the Lebanese terrorist organization, Nasrallah was killed, alongside Ali Karaki, Hezbollah’s commander of the southern front, and other Hezbollah commanders.
We all know what happened on 7th October 2023. But those of us who have watched the Israeli government’s compilation of footage from the day, as well as other videos sourced from the darker corners of the internet, know more than most the extent of atrocities carried out by the Palestinian terrorists who invaded through the Gaza border.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel used his speech before the UN General Assembly to rail against the body as an ‘anti-semitic swamp,’ to warn Iran not to attack his country and to give mixed signals on whether a ceasefire deal was possible.
As the fighting increased in the Middle East, Netanyahu took to the lectern to address a nearly empty chamber. Many diplomats walked out in protest as he entered the great hall to speak from the rostrum.
For anybody who missed one of the most memorable and powerful speeches yet given at the U.N. General Assembly, here is the full speech by PM Netanyahu.
