Here is my initial reaction to the news that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was eliminated in an Israeli air strike, along with many other Hezbollah and Iranian IRCG leaders.
The death of Hassan Nasrallah has been announced as a result of the airstrike by Israel yesterday on Hezbollah’s Beirut headquarters and underground bunker.Obviously, this is a huge development. It’s a huge victory for Israel. It’s not the end of the conflict. I think there will be a lot more ahead, but it is a huge victory.When I heard the news, the one thing I thought of is Psalm 30, which I’ve quoted a lot at the website for various reasons.”I will exalt you, oh Lord, for you have raised me up, and you have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.”And the reason I find that significant is that what was Nasrallah known for? The same thing that the Nazis were known for, the same thing that Hamas is known for, and frankly, the same thing that the protesters on campuses and in cities are known for.They not only want to destroy the Jewish people, they want to mock us. They want to mock people and belittle them and humiliate them. An arrogance and a smugness that really was Nasrallah’s signature. He not only wanted to destroy Israel, he wanted to rejoice over it, just like our enemies, domestic and abroad want to not only destroy the Jewish people and the United States, they want to rejoice when doing it.So that’s what came to mind. This is an enormous victory. It’s a signal that not just Israel, but perhaps there is hope for Western civilization in the face of these monsters, in the face of these people who want to rejoice over our demise.Thank you, Bibi Netanyahu, thank you to the State of Israel for doing what frankly, the United States should have done long ago.So that is my real feeling, that whatever happens from this point on, at least Hassan Nasrallah will not be rejoicing over us.
