Macron, Biden Demand 21-Day Ceasefire in Lebanon; Fail to Mention Hezbollah

Joel B. Pollak 25 Sep 2024

President Joe Biden joined French President Emmanuel Macron and several other nations Wednesday evening in proposing a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah — just as Israel had begun to destroy the terrorist organization.

The text of the ceasefire demand fails to mention Hezbollah, calling only on the government of Lebanon and Israel to comply. It also does not mention Iran, which is the country that arms, funds, and trains Hezbollah’s terrorists.

Hezbollah broke an existing ceasefire in October, when it began shooting at Israel last October. The ceasefire, under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 of 2006, required Hezbollah to disarm and leave the border.

The United Nations failed to enforce the ceasefire, allowing Hezbollah to build up forces in southern Lebanon. Israel evacuated over 60,000 citizens from their homes in October, but focused its military efforts on Hamas in Gaza.

It began fighting back in earnest last week. As Breitbart News reported, Israel disrupted Hezbollah’s communications, killed many of its senior officials, and destroyed some of its weapons, and was preparing for a ground invasion.

With world leaders descending on the United Nations this week, the Security Council held a meeting on the crisis, and the Biden administration joined several other nations in proposing a 21-day ceasefire, leading to a permanent deal.

Surrender monkeys do what they do.  Biden does what he is told.

Let me anticipate Israel’s response,

There was a ceasefire on the Israeli-Lebanese border ... until Hezbollah started launching rockets on October 8, 2023, to demonstrate solidarity for another fellow Iran proxy, Hamas.

Hamas and Hezbollah initiated hostilities.  Any cessation of hostilities without the release of the hostages and the surrender of Hezbollah and Hamas, only benefits Iran.

Asking Israel to unilaterally cease hostilities would be like the Swiss asking the Allies to unilaterally cease hostilities with the Axis Powers on Jan. 1, 1943, just as the Russians were about to win the Battle of Stalingrad.

There was peace on October 6th, but Hamas and Hezbollah didn't want it anymore.

1. The LIEden MalAdministration continually demands Israel NOT do what is best for Israel. This is because LIEden staffed his MalAdministration with Israel-Haters starting with the Transition before he was inaugurated. Foggy Bottom is similarly Israel-Hater-infested.

2. Israel needs to respond to LIEden (and if necessary, to Princess WordSalad)) as "advising"/demanding that Israel harm itself in an existential war.
