An excellent piece by Benjamin Hetanyahu in the WSJ concerning the war for civilization being waged by Israel.
In order for the global terror network to be dismantled, its support by sovereign states must end–whether that supports comes in the form of actively perpetrating terror attacks (as in the case of Iran and the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority), providing safe havens for terror groups (as in the case of Syria) or not acting against terror groups within their borders (as is the case in Lebanon). A world in which the international community does not hold states accountable for the terrorism that emanates from within their borders is a world in which the war on terror cannot be won.
That is why any cease-fire or diplomatic effort that does not have as its objective the disarming of Hezbollah will only strengthen the forces of terror. And that is also why the world should fully support Israel in disarming Hezbollah–for Israel’s sake, for Lebanon’s sake and for the sake of our common future.
This is what the left does not understand. The world will have to deal with the current facists just a certainly as previous facists. The conflict in Lebanon is but one front in the war.
