Biden Admin Pushes Israel to Give Land to Hezbollah
Making deals with Islamic terrorists doesn't work

"In its boldest move, Hezbollah sent four drones toward the Karish platform several weeks ago, all of which were intercepted by the Israel Defense Forces," reported The Times of Israel on July 31, 2022.
This was exactly what surrendering part of the gas field to Hezbollah was supposed to prevent.
"The proposal for this point involves recognizing it as part of Lebanon, with UN forces deployed there as a neutral party for both sides." — The Jerusalem Post, September 8, 2024.
United Nations forces are absolutely useless and pull back whenever there's any conflict. (Nor is the UN remotely neutral.)
Hezbollah will claim any territory it gets and attack anyway because that is what Islamic terrorists do. Hezbollah is backed by Iran. It's going to attack when Tehran tells it to. As an Islamic terror group, attacking non-Muslims and dominating them is a fundamental religious obligation. So making deals with it won't work.
Just like making deals with Hamas doesn't work.
The appeasement lobby only has one big idea when it comes to Islamic terrorists and any other enemies:
- Give them land.
- When the terrorists attack anyway, explain that it's because they didn't get enough land last time.
- Give them more land.
- When the terrorists attack anyway, explain that it's because they didn't get enough land last time.
Israel has been living through this particular "peace process" nightmare for a generation.
Now, faced with growing Hezbollah attacks, the Biden administration has one big bright idea.
"American officials recently proposed, in a virtual meeting with their Israeli counterparts, a land swap between Lebanon and Israel as part of a comprehensive agreement to end the border conflicts and resolve the land dispute between the two countries, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported on Sunday," reported The Jerusalem Post on September 8, 2024.
