‘Sham, bogus and phoney’ are the words to describe this. What is frightening is that leaders in The Western World fall for Iran and their backers. Why? Because these Western Leaders don’t understand the rules and the Logic of Islam’s War against The West. And they don’t, because they are cowards, whose cowardice is USED by these Ideologies, including accelerationist Nazism.

"Hezbollah is not a Lebanese political party with a military wing. It is an Iranian proxy, funded by the Islamic Republic of Iran, armed and directed by the Iranian regime, every rocket paid for with Iranian money, launched with Iranian weapons, in service of Iranian objectives. When Iran wanted to retaliate for the killing of its Supreme Leader on February 28th, it called its proxy, and the rockets started flying from Lebanon two days later. That’s not solidarity; it’s a chain of command."

So, Hezbollah is losing its major benefactor. Iran is not remotely close to what it was 7 weeks ago. It is powerless and bankrupt.

So you start negotiations and see where it goes. Lebanon may have to swallow hard and agree that it needs Israel's help rather than listening to the pathetic losers in France or the UN.

Reality is always a good place to start talking. Things have changed for the better.

Hizbollahis a resistance movement against the Israel occupation of Lebanon which btw was made after the isreal invasion and sadly occupation of wide ares in south lebanon and Lebanon's capital Beirut. Hizzbollah was created later after the resistance movement started funded by Iran which causes controversy about the actual motive yet there's one thing that western politicians and isreal don't understand, and it's that in their religion as shia jihad is normalized its even an honor to be clear ; Ayatollah intentionally waited for his assassination. You might think that Iran lost its power or whatever,but u can't deny the Truth the ceasefire had nothing to do with the Lebanese government it's Iran that nigotiated on Lebanon's behalf and had the power obove America to demand and make rules

Hezbollah is an Islamo-Fascist organization of drug dealers and corrupt, sleazy religious nut jobs financed by Iran. It destroys everything it touches and the faster it disappears from this Earth the better.

The people of Lebanon hate Hezbollah and so do the people of Israel.

Bro wtf where did u get this from 🤧🤧🤏🤏

Idk how much brain wash they did to u but this is not what hizzbollah is . I'm Lebanese no one hates hizzbollah here we actually hate ISREAL and we don't want your peace . IT'S THAT SIMPLE

I completely agree. Israel has fought to the death here, the IDF have lost several soldiers. They were making real headway. Now they will have to repeat the whole thing. It’s a disgrace

The invasion of Lebanon clearly indicates where the Netanyahu government is seriously falling short.

Von Clausewitz once said: "War is the continuation of diplomacy by other means." It appears that the current Israeli government is reversing that notion: diplomacy if necessary, but we prefer war. Now, that is not incomprehensible with people who are not open to reason and who, in fact, adhere to a culture of death. Such as Iran and Hezbollah. But shouldn't Tel Aviv have first reached an agreement with the reasonable part of Lebanon? Two-thirds of the country would want nothing more than to thwart Hezbollah's deadly grip on Lebanon. This is simply an overly simplistic military action.

Look it up. As part of the Gaza ceasefire, it was agreed that HezB would withdraw its terrorists and arms from southern Lebanon, and that the "gov't" of Lebanon would send in the Lebanese army to enforce HezB's withdrawal from southern Lebanon. How has that worked out? How many thousands of missiles have been fired into northern Israel by HezB since March 1? What the hell kind of "agreement" can Lebanon enforce? Nothing. The factual record has demonstrated that.

Albert Koeman's avatar

I agree. That is exactly why the weak but willing Lebanes administration needs Israel's help - make them allies and that means more diplomacy and smarter military action.

You're correct. This will be meaningless unless Iran's regime is destroyed --and sadly it means the innocent population will be destroyed with it.Trump doesn't want to destroy the "good" people in Iran. The leadership knows that. They are also counting on the pressure American isolationists, the DNC and their media--put on him.

The IDF will remain exactly where it is right now in southern Lebanon. It will not withdraw. And when Hezbollah breaks the ceasefire it will respond harshly as it has done since Hezbollah broke the last ceasefire. Then the fighting will begin again in earnest and the IDF will drive Hezbollah to the other side of the Litani River just as the Security Council pretended it wanted it to do. And that will be the new border between Israel and Lebanon. That is the only way this is going to end.

Isreal broke the ceasefire on Lebanon after 15 hours last year . Hizzbollah didn't break the ceasefire at all YOU'RE NIT THE VICTIM HERE

Dana Ramos's avatar

What is Hezbollah's goal? What has always been the goal? The same as all the terrorist groups: Destroy Israel and further the establishment of a world-wide Islamic Caliphate. Those terror groups are all being decimated and a New Middle East is emerging that will bring peace, prosperity and co-existence to ALL the people of the Middle East. Anyone opposed to that is insane.

Actually that's not he gaol . 🤧 Be glad to actually educate u about the truth and history. Hizzbollah was created to one single purpose PROTECT US FROM ISREAL. Isreal attacked us first back in 1972 so we had to protect ourselves is there a problem in self defense how is that terrorism ?? Just so u know ( another history class ) hizzbollah never never neverrr attack isreal first

Mitch Schneider's avatar

Actually let's start with your history lesson since you brought it up.

You said Israel attacked Lebanon first in 1972. Quick question. What specifically happened in Lebanon in 1972? Because I've looked and I can't find it. What I can find is that in September 1972 Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. Operating from Lebanon. With Hezbollah's predecessor groups cheering them on.

Israel's first major military operation in Lebanon was 1978. Six years after your date. And it came after PLO terrorists launched from Lebanese soil and massacred 38 Israeli civilians on a bus. 13 of them children.

So your history lesson has the wrong year, the wrong context, and the wrong aggressor.

But fine. Let's say we skip 1972 since that appears to be something you invented. Let's use your own side's numbers instead. Hezbollah released a statement today. 2,184 attacks in 45 days. Their words. Their pride. And hours after a ceasefire, they said "our hands remain on the trigger."

You came in here to educate us. You got the date wrong by six years. You defended an organization that just told you in writing they won't stop firing.

Next history lesson's on you.

At this point u didn't look up anything cuz how did u not know that?

Za💤a's avatar

And I'm not trying to be mean ,but how the hell do u expect us to trust u . ISREAL CAN'T BE TRUSTED. hizzbollah promised to give all his weapons last war of the isreali attacks would stop , did it ? No isreal didn't fulfil what they said and attacked Lebanon more than 1,500 during the ceasefire yet u come here and tell me that they should give in and trust u immediately this time??

Za💤a's avatar

As a Lebanese ik what happened in my country and ik that u might think or believe that you're the victim ( which is understandable bcz we're both citizens and can do nothing but live under these circumstances) yet u can't deny it . Isreal attacked Lebanon in 1972 . It started on that da

Te not 1978 . IM GLAD YOU POINTED OUT THAT THEY'VE ATTACKED US THO big improvement

Za💤a's avatar

Ok so no back in 1978 isreal made it clear that they want to invade Lebanon yet it all started in 1972 , heavy attacks on Beirut and south lebanon by isreal all happening in our land . Is that " peace " isreal want to emerge?

Mitch Schneider's avatar

1972. 1978.You keep changing the date so let's settle it right now.

What happened in 1972 that you're referring to? Specifically. Because I've looked and what I find is Palestinian terrorists, operating from Lebanese soil, murdering Israeli athletes in Munich. That September. From your soil.

And 1978? You know what triggered that? Palestinian terrorists launched from Lebanon, hijacked a bus and massacred 38 Israeli civilians. 13 children. Dead. On a highway. That's what 1978 was a response to.

So your timeline of Israeli aggression starts with Israel responding to massacres of its civilians launched from your territory. That's not aggression. That's called consequences.

And while we're here, today, right now, Hezbollah published their own numbers. 2,184 attacks on Israeli cities in 45 days. Not my claim. Their press release. Their pride. Tonight after a ceasefire they said our hands remain on the trigger.

You asked if that's the peace Israel wants. Here's my question back. Is that the peace Hezbollah wants? Because they just told you in writing exactly what they want.

And it isn't peace.

Za💤a's avatar

Talk about hypocrisy when u guys kill and commit genocide as self defense yet we can't have w resistance movement in our country protecting us from you

Mitch Schneider's avatar

2,184 attacks. Their words. Not mine.

We're done here.

Today's News report, April 16th: Trump announces a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. No question of who dictated to which nation that it must halt all its operations.

History repeats itself. No problem . . . Jewish blood has always been cheap.

Here, an answer to why the plague of antisemitism, born of envy, stains this world of darkness. G-D bless ISRAEL!

"They hate you for the greatness

of your acheivement.

They hate you for your integrity.

They hate you because they can neither corrupt you nor rule you.

They won't let you survive."

- Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead (Dominique to Mr. Roark).

The ceasefire is not a scam, the UN and Western politicians are the scam.

They all know exactly that it's a charade to save Islamic terrorist organizations from defeat so that they can regroup, rearm and return to their old nefarious intentions of annihilation.

The UN is a global stage and 192 countries are the players who participate in this nasty game against the State of Israel. Regretfully that includes those who claim to be our "allies/friends".

Israel's government bears direct responsibility for where things stand.

Now Trump's ceasefire that serves American domestic politics, is accepted— not because it protects Israeli citizens, but because crossing Trump means losing Israel's only significant ally. An ally that is part-time at best, and whose interference in Israel's sovereign decisions has repeatedly prevented it from permanently eliminating the enemies on its borders.

Israel is not obligated to subordinate its sovereignty to another country's political calendar. Hezbollah will use every pause to count what it has left and reoccupy every position Israeli soldiers paid to take. The same is happening in Gaza. The same will happen in Iran. Every previous ceasefire was simply the setup for the next war.

The Israeli public deserves a government asking one question only: what actually makes Israeli citizens safe.

October 7 happened on this government's watch. The warnings were there.

Finish the job — or explain to the families of those soldiers exactly what they crossed the border for.

Atl ease Israel has started making its own bullets

This is not correct: point 3 of the agreement, below, says:

"Israel shall preserve its right to take all necessary measures in self-defense, at any time, against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks. This shall not be impeded by the cessation of hostilities. Besides this, it will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets, including civilian, military, and other state targets, in the territory of Lebanon by land, air, and sea."

This is roughly what was in the November 2024 agreement. There is no mention of IDF withdrawal in the current ceasefire agreement.

Of course, it's unlikely that Lebanon will be able to disarm Hezbollah.

This all seems like a bone to the Iranians to resume talks but it doesn't make Israel's position worse than it was before March 2, when Hezbollah initiated attacks.

Dear Joshua, You are wasting your time and your words…? This war is just one of many? Can you not see that? There’s always more than just one war happening here🌏…!

Whether or not Israel survives or is compelled by this League of Nations to relocated to the Antarctic is moot🤣? When and if this war ever ends another one is sure to take its place.

Judaism=Hebrew=Israel=Zionism…! One tiny little Hebrew nation that’s representing a world wide declining Jewish population of a mere 15 million or so? More than 2 billion Muslims and more than 2 billion Muslims will eventually face off when Israel is gone. Yeah you read me correctly…!

Sorry but Armageddon is a premonition and the inevitable conclusion to all our wars. That’s just a fact ! Believing it or not won’t make any difference.

War is the way…War is our way unless and until we find another…? Maybe Steven Spielberg’s new movie will answer all our prayers for a new day🤣? One things for sure at least he’ll be laughing all the way to the bank along with the rest of the cottage industry called Disclosure!

Good luck🛸🌬️✨💨💨💨💨💨

Mitch, excellent article. At this point the whole process has become almost absurd. For more than two decades the world has pretended that Lebanon controls Hezbollah while rockets are fired from Lebanese soil year after year. Everyone knows Hezbollah answers to Tehran, yet diplomats still fly around drafting ceasefires as if a signature from Beirut somehow restrains an Iranian proxy army. The reality is that every ceasefire has produced exactly what you pointed out — time for Hezbollah to rebuild, rearm, and prepare for the next round. After 22 years of the same cycle, continuing to pretend this is diplomacy looks less like optimism and more like willful blindness.

Brammymiami's avatar

Will Hezbollah continue when it stops being paid? Thats the question. The IRGC is being financially strangled and will have nothing to give its proxies soon. Then what?

Za💤a's avatar

This is a scandal ، at the same day when the diplomatic discussion begun hizzbollah attacked yes yet isreal started it by killing innocent people in Lebanon and commiting genocide as usual YOU'RE NOT THE VICTIM HERE

You sound like a moron

Why cuz I hurt your feeling when confronted about your little play🤏🤏🤧🤧

Brammymiami's avatar

Because you seem to be brain dead with zero facts. Go look up the definition of genocide. Good grief, this isn't Snapchat.

Za💤a's avatar

Trust meee I know what I'm talking about , I'm from south lebanon I've lived this shit you have the privilege to call this behavior of isreal normal and ignore it , I don't . The hypocrisy of saying that hizzbollah broke the ceasefire while isreal bombed more than 1,500 bomb all over Lebanon ever since the last war ended is killing me . I have my friend named Fatima who died for no reason . " It's not a genocide" well sorry to hurt your feeling it is , people are being killed for no reason just bcz isreal has shown it clear that they want Lebanon to achieve " great isreal" . YOU BROKE THE CEASEFIRE 15 MIN AFTER THIS TIME , and BROKE IT 35 MIN AFTER LAST TIME, WE CAN'T TRUST U AND WE WON'T GIVE UP OUR RIGHT TO RESIST AND DEFEND OUR COUNTRY
