Real peace in the Middle East is possible | Brigitte Gabriel

Brigitte Gabriel
I've followed for some years. A Christian Lebanese who cries for the destruction of her country. Which happened because of Islamist nutters, aka Hezbollah, who were born there as the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. 

Imagine what could happen in the Middle East, without the malign influence of the Mullahs in Tehran, via their proxies in Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. 

Just imagine the peace. 

Just imagine the Blessing. 

That is the strategy and the vision of Israel: 

Netanyahu shows the choices for our world, at his United
Nations speech on 28 September 2024
This is the true choice. The real choice. The actual choice. Even if the person making it so clear and obvious may be someone that you don't like, like Bibi Netanyahu. Who I do very much do like, as it happens, but many seem not to. This is clear choice. 

The Black side is to choose the way of Jihadi Islam, of Sharia Islam, of Islam to conquer the world -- which they all say quite openly and repeatedly. It's THE CURSE. And indeed it is. Islam is a curse. 

The Green side, in Bibi's left hand, is "THE BLESSING". Which is what would happen if simply this happened: if the Muslims in the Middle East decided that they did not need to kill all the Jews. That the Jews have the right to their little patch of land. Only less tha one half of one percent of all the land that the Arabs already have. If the simply did that, then THE BLESSING. 

We should have been pushing this line early on. From the founding of Israel in 1948. Instead we got sidetracked by thinking that it was a land issue and that "Two States Solution" was a solution. It was not and never was and never will be. 

It's not too late for the world to come around to supporting Israel as the beacon of civilistion in the Middle East. All of the Middle East will be better off, all the people will be better off, for imbibing the culture of the Jews.

Live Breaking: IDF enters Lebanon

 

Interesting update from the northern Amman, Jordan, Chuck Holten.. Click here.

It’s CBN which is a Christian network. But that’s alright. They’re on the ground and decent analysts. And not too in-your-face god-bothering …

Recent IAF raid on Houthis in Yemen, 1,800 km away is a warning to Iran that they can also reach Iran’s oil supplies, 1,600 km away. So, say people, Iran won’t dare to attack Israel at this time. The Mullahs are underground, hiding. 

People of good will, of sanity and appreciation of historical happenings, celebrate the recent successes of Israel. The only ones not are Biden administration, EU, Gulf States and left wing media like Washington Post et.al. And AOC, Rashida Tlaib and The Squad.

Oh, and secular, liberal Israelis! Who wring their hands at “what might come next??”. Oh woe! No one thinks it’s over, or near over. A battle is not the war. It’s not the end, or even the end of the beginning. But perhaps the beginning of the end. Amd you’ve got to celebrate battles along the way. Without compunction and without qualification. 

The pundits got it wrong. They warned against taking in Hezbollah. “They’ll unleash hell”, they said, “thousands of rockets a day, for months on end. Will overwhelm the Iron Dome.” Well, no. Didn’t happen. It took a week to wound them severely. 

What’s the Pope doing? Not supporting Christians in Lebanon? The fast-growing Christian community in Iran? Iran! Not supporting the remaining Christians in Egypt? Instead denouncing Israel!?

While MBS, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia says “I don’t care about the Palestinian issue”. So much for solidarity of the Ummah.

“Sky News has lost its way” | Douglas Murray

Occasionally I am told that I go too hard on the BBC. It is an understandable gripe which I sometimes hear from disgruntled journos from Broadcasting House. So let me start by saying that, as an equal-opportunities insulter, I would like to put on the record how completely rancid Sky News in the UK has become.

To give an idea of where Sky UK has gone wrong since being sold, allow me to highlight one story as the channel reported it this week. After the targeted strikes on Hezbollah operatives via their pagers and walkie-talkies, Sky ran a story headlined: 'Hezbollah has been provoked like never before by Israel and may be tempted to unleash its firepower.'

That is truly fascinating framing. For it suggests that the terrorists of Hezbollah should be allowed to fire thousands of rockets into Israel with impunity, and that if Israel responds to this – even in the most targeted and personal way possible – it is being 'provocative'. Poor Hezbollah. It's just too beastly – can't it be allowed to fire missiles at Israeli civilians in peace?

Much of the broadcast media in Britain has been similarly skewy. The BBC news website last week led with 'Lebanon reels from two days of device attacks'. ITV News lamented not just the pager and walkie-talkie explosions but Israel's strikes on Hezbollah arms dumps. Presenting these as though they were strikes on civilian targets, ITV – in its own footage – showed the secondary explosions in the buildings Israel had hit. Which gives the game away, surely?

I have seen all this before. I was on the Israel-Lebanon border 18 years ago during the last Israel-Hezbollah war. Back in 2006 much of the media played the same game. Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets into Israel, Israel responded and before you knew it the world was running headlines about Israel striking Lebanon. I remember being in a hospital on the Israeli side of the border that had been hit by Hezbollah. There was no mention of this in the next day's media outside of Israel but there were plenty of reports about Israeli 'aggression' against Hezbollah.

That conflict ended with a UN resolution (1701) which was meant to ensure that Hezbollah would not be allowed to rebuild its stockpile of rockets in southern Lebanon. Over the succeeding years Hezbollah more than replenished these supplies. By last year the group that has done so much to destroy Lebanon – and to decimate its Christian population, among others – was estimated to have around 160,000 missiles in position to launch at Israel.

Labour and Conservative governments never had very much to say about this – and certainly did nothing about it. Under successive governments, people who generally enjoy talking about UN resolutions were silent about 1701. Hezbollah more than rebuilt its armoury, and then, from 8 October last year, it started firing its missiles into Israel again, keen as it was not to miss out on the genocidal opportunities opened up by its Hamas colleagues the previous day.

Over the past year I have witnessed plenty of this activity for myself. On a normal day a few dozen missiles might be fired by Hezbollah into Israel. On some days – like this past week – hundreds are fired over. This almost never makes the British news. But many thousands of Iranian-gifted rockets have been fired by Hezbollah into Israel in the past year. And all this has happened under the watchful eye of UN 'peacekeepers' whose effectiveness approximates to that of a eunuch in a harem.

Meantime the court eunuchs in the western media rarely mention that Hezbollah fires the occasional rocket. When they do they tend to suggest it is simply trying – utterly reasonably, of course – to target Israeli military sites. As to why Hezbollah fired rockets into a playground in a northern Israeli town, killing a dozen Israeli Druze children playing football, nobody will say. It's just one of life's little mysteries.

If there is anyone left in Britain who still watches Sky News then they will be almost uniquely misinformed about what is actually happening in the world. In the past week its crack squad of misinformants, led by someone called Dominic Waghorn and Alex Crawford, did manage to utter the word 'terror'. But they used it while referring to the 'two days of terror' recently suffered by the 'fighting group' Hezbollah.

I am sure Hezbollah terrorists were terrorised when they found their balls blown off by exploding pager devices. But that is probably one of the job hazards that comes if you make the mistake of joining a terrorist group and then try to wipe out your neighbours on the orders of the Revolutionary Islamic government in Iran. Decisions have consequences, and joining what Ms Crawford calls a 'fighting group' should be seen for what it is: a distinctly bad career choice. Worse even than entering broadcast journalism.

People sometimes wonder why the media in a country like Britain has gone so partisan on a story which should not be that complicated to report. A number of reasons present themselves. The one I am most prone to is simply that failing television networks attract less and less talent and that Sky, ITV and even the BBC just don't get the best or brightest any more. The idea that they have been 'bought' or compromised in some way seems to me a little too conspiratorial.

Then I notice that just about the only regular sponsor of Sky News UK is the terrorist-supporting slave state of Qatar, through its national airline. The Qataris are, of course, not just funders of Hamas but also hosts to the Taliban. But I am sure this is a coincidence and their efforts to provoke their remaining viewers into reaching for the 'off' button comes from ignorance rather than anything worse
