Displaced Israelis urge US to let Israel act against Hezbollah
2023-12-29
[NAHARNET] A group calling itself Lobby 1701, comprised of Israelis evacuated from their settlements near Israel’s northern border with Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, have told U.S. officials in a letter that American support in a move against Hezbollah is crucial for their safe return.

The organization, representing 60,000 residents of northern Israel who were evacuated from their homes, issued a letter to U.S. President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
and the head of the U.S. National Security Council, demanding that Israel be allowed to ensure the return of the displaced residents to their homes, either through diplomatic means or via a military operation.

"We speak in the name of the 60,000 residents of northern Israel who were evacuated from their homes and have been turned into refugees in our own land," the letter sent on Monday said.

"We call on President Biden to give his full support to the government of Israel to act with the necessary force and means to promise our safety and security," it added.

Their appeal comes amid reports that the U.S. government is preventing an Israeli military move on the northern border.

Efforts are meanwhile underway in the U.S. to find a diplomatic solution to the border issue.

In their letter to senior government and security officials in Washington, the Israeli citizens noted: "We all witnessed the horrific massacre committed on October 7th by Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
Death Eaters against innocent civilians in the south of Israel. Since October 7th Hezbollah has put an end to our daily lives here in northern Israel. Because of their daily missiles and UAV attacks that target our homes and communities, and the threat of many more, we were unwillingly forced to evacuate."

"For 17 years we have had to bear witness to how ineffective by UNSCR 1701 is in the face of reality. Hezbollah never acted in accordance with the resolution and openly established military positions on the border -- feet away from our homes. Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again...
UNIFIL has been providing a false sense of security, while allowing Hezbollah to rearm, prepare and plan its invasion into Israel. This has proven especially true over the past three years," the letter added.

Lobby 1701 believes that there is no realistic chance of dealing with Hezbollah’s threat through diplomatic means.

#1  Not sure that we “let” Israel do anything. Hezbollah was founded to destroy Israel. They have taken a position on the border of Israel. They are going to get whacked.
