PM tells world to choose peace and battle ’Iranian curse’; vows to keep hitting Hezbollah; says Hamas must go; denounces UN; promises Israel ’won’t go gently into that good night’ //
The full text of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly, September 27, 2024, as provided by the Prime Minister’s Office.
The Israel Air Force launched at least seven airstrikes against the Houthi port city of Hodeidah in retaliation to a ballistic missile fired at Tel Aviv. The strikes hit the port's tank farm and a power plant.
The Israel Defense Force's Chief of the General Staff, General Herzi Halevi, describes the action this way: “This is not a message, it is an action — an action that carries a message with it.”
Message indeed.
Last night, we saw another "action that carries a message with it." The Israel Defense Force crossed into southern Lebanon to eradicate the Hezbollah presence from where it has no right to be under UN Resolution 1701.
For decades, the Iranian regime has used Hezbollah and the Houthis as a shield to protect itself from its actions. The Houthis could be relied upon to close the Red Sea during a crisis and jack up shipping rates to pressure the civilized world to bow to Tehran. Hezbollah was Iran's ace-in-the-hole that made any decision by Israel to attack Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure guaranteed to provoke an attack on Israeli cities by Hezbollah.
Israel has decided to break this strategic stalemate. //
Iran's main strategic partner, Russia, is mired in a war in Ukraine. It no longer has the weapons to send to Iran, and no sane person is in awe of Russia's military.
Hamas has totally collapsed, and its leadership is either dead or trying to find a clean pair of brown trousers in the bunker.
The failed April 13 Iranian missile and drone blitz of Israel reveals just how flimsy and inferior its offensive weaponry was when confronted by Israel's defenses. This further degraded Iran's ability to deter Israeli action.
The Hezbollah ally they have cultivated for a half-century has been decapitated like no other combatant in history. In the space of less than two weeks, the entire "middle management" of Hezbollah was gutted by a wave of exploding pagers and other electronic devices... //
Iran will now accelerate its move to nuclear breakout, but the air attack on Hodeidah, Yemen, and the removal of Hezbollah forces as a cohesive fighting unit sent another message.
The range circle depicts the distance from Tel Aviv to Hodeidah.
Iran's nuclear weapons project is within the range of Israeli air power, and they won't have to fly over Hezbollah-manned air defense sites in Lebanon to get to them.
Look at the tweet from former prime minister Naftali Bennett last night, using very strong language, saying: “This is the greatest opportunity in 50 years to change the face of the Middle East.” He was arguing that Israel should go after Iran’s nuclear facilities, in order to “fatally cripple this terrorist regime”.
Now he’s not prime minister (although he is widely tipped to be a future one, so he was making a point to show he is tough) but it does reflect a certain mood in the country.
I would not rule out attacks by Israel on anything at the moment – nuclear sites, petrochemical facilities, anything that could cause damage to the Iranian economy.
The scenario always was that Iran had a forward defence in the shape of Hezbollah in Lebanon, with a massive arsenal of sophisticated weapons, to be used, in theory, if Iran and its nuclear facilities were attacked.
But in the last couple of weeks, Israel has decapitated the Hezbollah organisation, destroyed half of its weapons, according to American and Israeli authorities; and invaded Lebanon.
The deterrent Iran had, you could argue, is not just gone – it’s smashed into a thousand pieces. So I think the Israelis are feeling more free to act. And Joe Biden is moving another carrier battle group to the Mediterranean, signalling to the Iranians that if you hit Israel, you hit the US too.

Carter lies at the root of the Iran menace. Way way back in the 1970s I attended a classified talk by Iranian expert. She was fluent in Farsi, and spent her career specializing in Iran. Iran was once a US ally and friendly towards Israel. We supplied high-end weapons to Iran. But Carter decided Iran had a human rights problem, and the Shah had to go. She went into details on how the Islamic revolution in Iran played out. The world, especially Israel is paying the price for Carter’s disastrous foreign policy. In my opinion, (and many others as well) Carter was our worst president in terms of the lasting damage he did. Others conclude he was not an honorable man. For example Robert Novak called him the biggest liar in Washington, which is saying a lot. Not being an insider, I have no idea if this is actually true. He would have a lot of competition.
We know from Genesis in the Torah that Abraham struck a deal with G_d. Sodom would be spared if he could find ten righteous men (down from 50). He couldn’t, so Sodom was destroyed. Well DC has about 1,000 times the population of ancient Sodom. Could we find 10,000 righteous men in today’s Washington? I don’t think so. I doubt we could even find ten.

If you’re an anti-Israel terrorist these days, it must be hard getting to sleep. There’s a good chance you won’t wake up.
Now, the Islamic Republic’s former president is admitting that the Israelis even managed to penetrate Iranian security services that were… wait for it… tasked with targeting the Jewish state’s intelligence service, Mossad. I’m sorry, but it’s hard not to laugh.
The head of an Iranian secret service unit set up to target Mossad agents working in the Islamic Republic turned out to be an Israeli agent himself, according to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Speaking to CNN Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed Monday that a further 20 agents in the Iranian intelligence team tasked with monitoring Israeli spying activities also turned against Tehran.
The alleged double agents provided Israel with sensitive information on the Iranian nuclear program, according to his comments in the interview, which were widely picked up by international media. //

You would think it is a joke, but it isn’t
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in an interview with @cnnturk said that Iran’s secret services had created a special unit to combat Mossad operating in Iran. However, turns out the head of this unit was himself a Mossad agent, along with 20 other agents, who were responsible for multiple intelligence operations in Iran including stealing nuclear docs and assassinating several Iranian nuclear scientists before allegedly fleeing to Israel
I can’t stop laughing, that’s too bad*** even for you. [Laughing emojis]

[QUOTE] Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end. [/QUOTE]
Yes, I view the two, Hamas and Hezbollah, as the Iranian equivalent of a “fleet in being.”
A “fleet in being” is a naval force that extends a controlling influence without ever leaving port. Were the fleet to leave port and face the enemy, it might lose in battle and no longer influence the enemy’s actions, but while it remains safely in port, the enemy is forced to continually deploy forces to guard against it.” (Wikipedia)
Iran has lost the influence of it’s “fleet in being” as a force that could deter Israel.
So Iran is now isolated – naked as a Jaybird, one might say, to he whims or plans of Israel.
Brian in reply to Brian. | September 29, 2024 at 11:51 am
I might also suggest that under the Biden/Harris administration, the US removed sanctions from Iran and paid several billion $$ to them in ransom for a few Iranian/US hostages, and has consistently urged Israel to restrain itself and substitute negotiations and a ceasefire for definitive kinetic military operations.
If that wasn’t enough (!) to convince Israel that the US was an Iranian asset, Kamala’s snubbing of Netanyahu when he was in the US in favor of her addressing as sorority was proof beyond doubt that the US was not going to protect Israel from Iran.
So Israel (wisely) decided to abandon the US strategy of urging caution and negotiations rather than military operations.
And thus, behind the degradation of Hamas and now Hezbollah, did the final check on Israel’s restraint – US influence on Israel – collapse.
“And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years.” //
Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and advisor, Jared Kushner, had some wise words yesterday about Israel.
Israel has to finish the job. Now. She cannot stop.
People have responded, “I don’t agree with you politically at all, but this is true!”
Kushner wrote:
September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.
I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.
This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent. //
But today, with the confirmed killing of Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible.
A White House official told CNN that the administration believes Iran will soon attack Israel with ballistic missiles.
Another official, don’t know if it’s the same one, told Fox News, “We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack. A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran.”
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said “that as of now, no aerial threats have been launched at Israel from Iran.”
Contrary to what any pundits or politicians might tell you, Israel did not start this war with Hezbollah, the Iranian-funded terror proxy that controls Lebanon.
On Oct. 8, 2023, while Israel was trying to count the dead, the kidnapped, and the brutalized, and was still battling the Hamas terrorists that invaded the country the day prior, Hezbollah opened a “second front” against Israel to help Hamas and hasn’t stopped firing rockets since. For 10 months, over 60,000 civilians have been forced to flee from their homes in the North and live in hotels in central Israel, displaced and unfortunate casualties, as Israel worked to crush Hamas in Gaza. //
In the middle of a slow Tuesday, just weeks after Israel thwarted a massive and deadly rocket attack minutes before it was set to happen, thousands of beepers began blowing up throughout Lebanon. Incredibly, Israel appears to have learned of Hezbollah’s attempts to use low-tech forms of contact and entered the supply chain that the terror organization used to obtain its illicit communication devices. Then they waited for Hezbollah to distribute the pagers to the terrorists and incapacitated their ability to harm Israel. The next day, they repeated the operation, this time with walkie-talkies. And when the leadership of Hezbollah met days later to discuss their plans to invade Northern Israel, the IDF struck and eliminated essentially all of the terror organization’s leaders, evil people who were responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans. In the days since, Israel has struck thousands of military targets and dealt a significant blow to Hezbollah’s ability to terrorize the world.
But Israel wasn’t finished. On Friday, minutes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finished addressing the United Nations General Assembly — to a hall voluntarily emptied of the world’s worst actors, who had wandered out of the room in a show of support for Hamas and Hezbollah — Israel destroyed the headquarters of Hezbollah, in Beirut. The operation successfully eliminated terror chief Hassan Nasrallah, the mastermind and architect of the murder of thousands of innocent Jews, Christians, and Muslims in countries around the world. //
This is not a war between Israel and the Lebanese people. Rather, it is a war between Israel and a heavily armed terrorist group that has hijacked Lebanon and is acting on orders from a different authority: the mullahs sitting pensively in Tehran.
In the pursuit of their master’s goals to destroy Israel and ultimately the United States, Hezbollah has provoked and attacked Israel for months, which stoically did not respond. Israel warned dozens of times for Hezbollah to stop and retreat to the Litani River in accordance with the United Nations resolution agreed to in 2006, which would allow the citizens of Northern Israel to return home.
Instead, Hezbollah decided to destroy Lebanon. They planted weaponry inside population centers, determined to exploit the Lebanese people as human shields, and escalated tensions into a full-blown war with Israel that the people of Lebanon overwhelmingly rejected. Their constant and deadly indiscriminate attacks have killed and injured dozens, most tragically seen by the massacre of 12 Druze children playing soccer in Majdal Shams in July.
Israel’s relative restraint in the face of Hezbollah’s ongoing aggression can largely be attributed to the miraculous protective capabilities of the Iron Dome. This advanced defense system, while reducing the immediate human toll of rocket attacks, has inadvertently created a perception internationally that Israel can absorb such violence indefinitely. The world, witnessing Israel’s ability to intercept most incoming threats, has grown accustomed to this scenario, often ignoring the deeper implications of allowing sustained aggression to persist unchallenged. This dynamic has led to a dangerous normalization of terrorism, where Israel is expected to continually endure hostilities without any response, which has only emboldened its many adversaries.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, much maligned on the international stage as dangerous extremists, have displayed a consistent and conciliatory tone in the face of Hezbollah’s war of attrition. For a year now, they have repeatedly attempted to tone down the conflict, even as Hezbollah leadership promised to continue to escalate and broaden the conflict.
Fateh Sherif was, supposedly, an educator — the principal of Deir Yassin Secondary School. He was also an employee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA.) Sherif also moonlighted as a Hamas leader, responsible for coordinating Hamas actions with Hezbollah, including recruiting and logistics operations.
Now he's been shuffled off the mortal coil by the Israeli Air Force after an air strike eliminated him, and the UNRWA is finally admitting he was one of theirs.
Israel has taken the gloves off and sent in the exterminators, and the rats are running for cover. One of the rats is Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has reportedly been moved to a "secure location" within Iran:
The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the death of Lebanese Hezbollah leader and all-around terrorist Hassan Nasrallah Saturday following a massive Israeli airstrike on a Hezbollah command bunker Friday. //
Nasrallah died as he lived, cowering behind a shield of women and children.
If you were expecting outrage in the region, you need to think again.

Syrians are handing out sweets and celebrating the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah (his death is not officially confirmed)
Embedded video
4:27 PM · Sep 27, 2024 //
These people who suffered from Hezbollah's thuggishness and the perpetual war it created are not sad to see Nasrallah and his ilk destroyed.
It is too early to draw definitive lessons from Israel's post-October 7th campaign against institutional terrorism in the Middle East, but I think there are reasons to be hopeful.
When the much-maligned Jared Kushner undertook his mission to rearrange the strategic map of the Middle East, he intuited that attempting to negotiate with the "Palestinian" leadership was a dead end for the simple reason that those people knew the only way they could stay in power was by promoting victimhood and refusing to negotiate. When the farcical "two state solution" was abandoned, Israel was able to achieve normalized, or at least non-hostile relations with historic foes such as Saudi Arabia. //
If that strategic void is filled by anyone other than Iran's stooges, then the region's security structure could be reordered. I would argue the region is tired of fighting and would really like to do something else, and absent the Iranian-grafted cancer that is Hezbollah, change is possible.
Just two final points. First, Netanyahu's speech at the UN spelled out the issue in no uncertain terms. The region can stagger on in a state of poverty, terrorism, and warfare, or it can pull the plug on the old way of doing business and work together to lift up all nations in the region.
This is not hyperbole; this is a crossroads.
Second, the idea that warfare is an exercise in proportionality has been permanently discredited. I'm a Catholic, and before that, I was an ardent student of military history. I understand "Just War" theory, and I also understand why it is wrong. A proportionate response is guaranteed to prolong conflicts and increase casualties on both sides. As a Southerner, I think the South was much better off for Sherman's March to the Sea and Phil Sheridan's rampage up the Shenandoah Valley than it would have been if the war had extended for another two or three years as the Army of the Potomac ground its way through Virginia and North Carolina. Proportionality is a sop to the conscience; it is nothing more than virtue signaling. Israel's response to the October 7 Massacre is showing the very real possibility of ending the so-called "cycle of violence." //
Which brings me to my last point. Overwhelming violence works. While we may all prefer negotiations to violence, there are times when there is nothing to talk about. Slaughtering 1,200 Israelis brings about such a time. A lot of my friends during the early days of the Iraq War were fond of saying, "you can't kill your way out of a problem." That is false. There may be reasons you don't want to do that, or you may suffer from a lack of ambition or motivation, but to say you can't kill enough people to make the problem go away is fatuous nonsense.

In an impassioned speech before the UN General Assembly on September 27, 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spelled out to the world that Israel is done with international efforts to placate or excuse Hamas and Hezbollah. He declared there would be no peace until the terrorist organizations dedicated to the mass murder of Jews and the eradication of Israel are themselves eradicated.
Netanyahu started his speech by stating he originally had zero interest in attending the UN meeting this year, but felt compelled to do so in order to combat the lies of those claiming Israel was unjustifiably aggressive in combating terror. //
Netanyahu stated to those gathered that Iran was and is a threat to not only Israel but the civilized world as a whole.
And that is the choice we face today: the curse of Iran’s unremitting aggression or the blessing of a historic reconciliation between Arab and Jew. In the days that followed that speech, the blessing I spoke of came into sharper focus.
Netanyahu reminded the UN that before the Hamas-committed obscene atrocities of October 7, 2023, the Middle East was close to enjoying genuine peace as it has ever been since Israel’s formation in 1948. //
I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us, we will strike you. There is no place—there is no place in Iran—that the long arm of Israel cannot reach. And that’s true of the entire Middle East. //
This is the map I presented here last year. It’s a map of a blessing.
It shows Israel and its Arab partners forming a land bridge connecting Asia and Europe. Between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, across this bridge, we will lay rail lines, energy pipelines, and fiber optic cables, and this will serve the betterment of 2 billion people.
He next displayed a map of the present reality.It’s a map of a curse. It’s a map of an arc of terror that Iran has created and imposed from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean. Iran’s malignant arc has shut down international waterways.
It cuts off trade, it destroys nations from within, and inflicts misery on millions. On the one hand, a bright blessing—a future of hope. On the other hand, a dark future of despair. And if you think this dark map is only a curse for Israel, then you should think again.
Because Iran’s aggression, if it’s not checked, will endanger every single country in the Middle East, and many, many countries in the rest of the world, because Iran seeks to impose its radicalism well beyond the Middle East.
That’s why it funds terror networks on five continents. That’s why it builds ballistic missiles for nuclear warheads to threaten the entire world. For too long, the world has appeased Iran. It turned a blind eye to its internal repression. It turned a blind eye to its external aggression. Well, that appeasement must end. And that appeasement must end now. //
And now I have a question, and I pose that question to you: What choice will you make? Will your nation stand with Israel? Will you stand with democracy and peace? Or will you stand with Iran, a brutal dictatorship that subjugates its own people and exports terrorism across the globe //
I have a message for you: Israel will win this battle. We will win this battle because we don’t have a choice.
After generations in which our people were slaughtered, remorselessly butchered, and no one raised a finger in our defense, we now have a state. We now have a brave army, an army of incomparable courage, and we are defending ourselves.
As the book of Samuel says in the Bible:
“נֵ֣צַח יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לֹ֥א יְשַׁקֵּ֖ר”
“The eternity of Israel will not falter”.
In the Jewish people’s epic journey from antiquity, in our odyssey through the tempest and upheavals of modern times, that ancient promise has always been kept and it will hold true for all time.
To borrow a great poet’s phrase: Israel will not go gently into that good night. We will never need to rage against the dying of the light because the torch of Israel will forever shine bright.
To the people of Israel and to the soldiers of Israel, I say: Be strong and of good courage.
“חִזְק֣וּ וְאִמְצ֔וּ אַל־תִּֽירְא֥וּ וְאַל־תַּעַרְצ֖וּ מִפְּנֵיהֶ֑ם כִּ֣י ה’ אֱלֹקיךָ ה֚וּא הַהֹלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹ֥א יַרְפְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א יַעַזְבֶֽךּ”
עם ישראל חי
The people of Israel live now, tomorrow, forever”.
Israel reportedly intercepted a missile launched at Tel Aviv by Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah early on Wednesday morning.
This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which intensified when Israel launched a preemptive strike on the Lebanon-based terrorist group to stop a planned October 7-style attack. //
The terrorist group claims its attack was directed at the Mossad, claiming retaliation for the assassinations of several key Hezbollah leaders. //

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

Panetta was and has always been a political hack. A “yes man” who ended up heading the CIA, not because of years of experience at Langley or bringing some unique skills to the Agency, Panetta was appointed to head the CIA because of politics. Barack Obama put him in that position because he helped Democrats get elected, and he was the chief of staff for Clinton.
In 2011, after the Bin Laden raid, Panetta reveled in the success of the mission. Panetta addressed a throng of people at a CIA Headquarters event – which was to honor the people connected to the raid. At that event, Panetta disclosed classified information — in fact, "Secret" and "Top Secret" information regarding the personnel who found Bin Laden and who conducted it. He fingered the SEAL team (DevGru) and fingered the ground commander. Panetta also revealed more Top Secret information during the speech that was attended by 1,300, many of whom had NO clearance at all. //
In October 2020, Panetta and a group of 50 other former senior intelligence officials signed a letter stating the Hunter Biden laptop controversy had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation" because it contained potentially damaging information to the Biden campaign.
We knew then — and even the New York Times has admitted now — that Hunter's laptop being "Russian disinfo" was utter nonsense propagated by unserious political hacks, not the least of whom was Leon Panetta. //
