Israel Gives Terrorists What They Want, Terrorists Want More

I haven’t even wanted to write about this latest episode in folly, because it’s so maddening and depressing, but here it is. Israel is being pushed by the US to concede the Shebaa Farms (an area bordering the Golan Heights) to Hizballah. That would be bad enough, but Hizballah is openly mocking this attempt at appeasement by promising to continue killing Jews: Hezbollah sees role beyond Israel leaving Shebaa Farms.

BEIRUT (AFP) - The Shiite movement Hezbollah said on Thursday that Lebanon would still need its armed presence even if Israel finally quit the disputed Shebaa Farms district in the south.

“Any Zionist retreat from the Shebaa Farms would be a big achievement for the ‘resistance’ for this would be the result of its role and its pressure,” Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah was quoted as saying by the state-run National News Agency.

But any retreat “will not change the fact that Lebanon needs the resistance,” he said.

The world has gone nuts.
