* [T]he West's political "elites" condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah's leadership.
* There was no mention of international law for Hezbollah's unprovoked, year-long attacks: bombardments of missiles and attack drones every day at a country smaller than New Jersey.
* EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell lamented Israel's continued successful attempts at destroying one of Iran's proxy armies.
* When Israel took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, one of the world's most dangerous arch-terrorists, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres could barely hold back his disappointment, counterfactually calling Hezbollah's unprovoked war against Israel and the IDF's response a "cycle of violence."
* Only Argentina's President Javier Milei displayed a reaction fitting the removal of a terrorist mass murderer...
* Israel, as has been noted, is doing the entire world an enormous service by taking out Hezbollah.
* Iran, just since October 2023, through its militias in Syria and Iraq, has launched more than 160 attacks on the US forces in the Middle East.
* [W]hen Israel killed Ibrahim Aqil, the mastermind of the 1983 attacks and a member of Hezbollah's Jihad Council, its highest military body, the US could not even bring itself to thank its ally.
* The world's political elites apparently cannot forgive Israel for seeking to defend itself, and rid the world of terrorists working to destroy both America and Western civilization. Could these elites, wittingly or not, be working towards the same result?

The world's political elites apparently cannot forgive Israel for seeking to defend itself, and rid the world of terrorists working to destroy both America and Western civilization. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has lamented Israel's continued successful attempts at destroying one of Iran's proxy armies. When Israel took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, one of the world's most dangerous arch-terrorists, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres could barely hold back his disappointment.

It took the world community nearly a year to condemn the war in Lebanon, but they got the wrong mark. Instead of condemning Hezbollah, the world's largest Iranian proxy terrorist army, with an estimated 40,000 - 50,000 fighters, for starting a year-long war on October 8, 2023 in support of the terrorist organization Hamas, the West's political "elites" condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah's leadership.

The UN Security Council called an emergency session on September 20, during which UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk told ambassadors that he was "appalled by the breadth and impact" of the attacks on Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies.
