The Left Wails in Mourning for Nasrallah

It is impossible to overstate just how degenerate the modern left is. 

Obviously, the sexual degeneracy is indisputable. These people hold orgies to blow off steam while keeping their fellow citizens locked down; they hang out with P. Diddy as he rapes young men; they make friends with Jeffrey Epstein, fly on the "Lolita Express," and party on his private island; and they take children to Pride parades and pimp them out as drag queens.

But that is just one aspect of their moral degeneracy. Just as troubling is their love of political violence, their determination to sacrifice American citizens to the god of woke immigration policies, and their embrace of literal terrorists. 

Israel has been wiping out one of the worst terrorist organizations in the world just three years after Joe Biden handed Afghanistan over to the Taliban along with $80 billion in American military equipment. Hezbollah is not just Iran's biggest proxy in the world, but a determined American enemy that has murdered countless Americans over the years. 

The response of the left has been weeping and wailing, accusations that our ally is committing war crimes, and calls for mercy for these evil terrorists. As Arabs have been thanking Israel for wiping Hezbollah off the map, Western leftists have been demanding Israel stop the most successful and relatively bloodless war against a terrorist organization in world history.

In many cases, the left has condemned Israel's cleaning up the Middle East more than they have condemned assassination attempts against Donald Trump. 

The media has been whitewashing Nasrallah's murderous history, portraying him as a moderate peacemaker who was forced to kill Jews because they failed to be dead already. 

They have given Nasrallah the "austere religious scholar" treatment, presumably based on the principle that anybody who hates America and the Joos must be a good guy.

It's not the media, though. Across Twitter you see liberals' heads explode at the sight of a dead decolonizer. 

There are tons more, and many of them are utterly predictable. What is more disappointing is to see American politicians call on Israel to give Hezbollah breathing room at best, and to defund Israel at worst. The Biden administration agrees that the world is a better place without Nasrallah, but really Israel should let "diplomacy" take over. Which, in other words, means restock, rearm, rebuild, and reestablish ties with Iran.

Uh, no. Wipe them out. Hezbollah is evil. Ask the Syrians, the Lebanese, and the Persians who want their civilization back. 

As Western countries desperately try to save Hamas and Hezbollah from extinction, Arabs are quietly or even loudly applauding and thanking Israel for cleaning out the trash. Most Arabs are tired of the tyrants, tired of the Palestinians' desire to keep the war going, and just want normality.

It is the Western left more than any group other than the Mullahs in Iran who are working hard to keep the terrorists alive, for whatever reason. For the ideological leftists it is from a sense of solidarity with anti-Western forces; for our foreign policy elite it is their determination to ally with Iran and perhaps to keep the war machine going. 

Obama was determined to ally with Iran, and once Trump was gone Biden restarted his policy to pay off Khameini. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are Iran's proxies, so Western liberals treat them with kid gloves. 

Not Israel, which has demonstrated its overwhelming firepower and more importantly its intolerance for being attacked. The Houthis have done more to harm Western powers, but Israel has done more to hit them where it hurts. 

It is striking to see the resistance to any kind of cease fire in Ukraine at the same time maximum pressure is put on Israel to pull back on its existential war. It's not civilian casualties they are worried about, as Ukraine is being bled dry. Something else is at play.

I think that something is an ingrained hatred of the West on the part of the Antifa wing of the party and a preference for Iran on the part of the foreign policy establishment. As the Arab states have quietly and not-so-quietly embraced Israel, foreign policy elites have been hobbling it. 

Biden began his administration by insulting Saudi Arabia and embracing Iran. Biden will leave office abandoning Israel and still embracing Iran.
