Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke last Friday to the United Nations General Assembly.

Quintessential Terror Organization

Netanyahu explained why Israel must defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon: 

“Hezbollah is the quintessential terror organization in the world today.

In the last year, completely unprovoked, a day after the Hamas massacre on October 7th, Hezbollah began attacks against Israel, which forced more than 60,000 Israelis on our northern border to leave their homes, becoming refugees in their own land.

Hezbollah turned vibrant towns in the north of Israel into ghost towns. So I want you to think about this in equivalent American terms. Just imagine if terrorists turned El Paso and San Diego into ghost towns.

Then ask yourself: How long would the American government tolerate that? A day, a week, a month? I doubt they would tolerate it even for a single day.”
