Kushner: ‘There is No Going Back for Israel…Cannot Afford Now to Not Finish the Job’
“And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years.”
Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and advisor, Jared Kushner, had some wise words yesterday about Israel.
Israel has to finish the job. Now. She cannot stop.
People have responded, “I don’t agree with you politically at all, but this is true!”

I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.
This is significant because Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent.
President Trump would often say, “Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation.” The Islamic Republic’s regime is much tougher when risking Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian and Houthi lives than when risking their own. Their foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them.
Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East, while their neighbors in the GCC are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure. They are becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment while Iran falls further behind. As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike.
Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end.
Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the North is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance.
After the brilliant, rapid-fire tactical successes of the pagers, radios, and targeting of leadership, Hezbollah’s massive weapon cache is unguarded and unmanned. Most of Hezbollah fighters are hiding in their tunnels. Anyone still around was not important enough to carry a pager or be invited to a leadership meeting. Iran is reeling, as well, insecure and unsure how deeply its own intelligence has been penetrated. Failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible.
I have been hearing some amazing stories about how Israel has been collecting intelligence over the past 10 months with some brilliant technology and crowdsourcing initiatives.
But today, with the confirmed killing of Nasrallah and at least 16 top commanders eliminated in just nine days, was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel. So many more positive outcomes are possible.
This is a moment to stand behind the peace-seeking nation of Israel and the large portion of the Lebanese who have been plagued by Hezbollah and who want to return to the times when their country was thriving, and Beirut a cosmopolitan city. The main issue between Lebanon and Israel is Iran; otherwise there is a lot of benefit for the people of both countries from working together.
The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight.
More than 40 years ago, Hezbollah killed 241 US military personnel, including 220 Marines. That remains the single deadliest day for the U.S. Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Later that same day, Hezbollah killed 58 French paratroopers.
And now, over the past six weeks or so, Israel has eliminated as many terrorists on the US list of wanted terrorists as the US has done in the last 20 years. Including Ibrahim Aqil, the leader of Hezbollah’s Islamic Jihad Organization who masterminded the 1983 killing of those Marines.
And:
The philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy wrote on X, “I keep reading everywhere that Lebanon is ‘on the brink of collapse.’ No. It is on the brink of relief and deliverance.”
Moments like this come once in a generation, if they even come at all.The Middle East is too often a solid where little changes. Today, it is a liquid and the ability to reshape is unlimited. Do not squander this moment.
Let’s all pray for success, for peace and for the good judgement of our leaders.
September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

Griz- you make it through ok?
For those not following, area east and south of Griz’s 20 were hit really hard. Our end of town unimpacted, though utilities up the street in Jonesborough were also hosed because of the Nolichuckey knocking out water supply.

Cell coverage has been spotty, but improving of late. I have many friends in WNC, and they were hit hard. Most I know are ok, but a few have not checked in yet.
Verizon is out. I’d expect W NC to be a dead zone right now. We may be hosting friends in Greeneville now- but I think they are stuck until the remaining bridges are inspected. The Unicoi side of JC has been decimated from what I’m hearing.
Any, it’s awful. I am off Exit 20, and Exit 37 is where all the horrible parts of Unicoi county are.
Funny you refer to my “20”. I live just off Exit 20 of I-24. We need to get coffee or something.
Biden: “Sure you can go back. That’s why I call for a ceasefire by Israel immediately.”
Reporter: “How about a ceasefire by Hezbollah?”
Biden: “Umm. They didn’t give me a note card for that. Maybe you could ask President Kamala.”
Kamala: same
“Their ( Iran) foolish efforts to assassinate President Trump and hack his campaign reek of desperation and are hardening a large coalition against them.”
Who is the coalition, cause it sure isn’t us, nor GB, or France
He’s talking about countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and countries that have ships being targeted by the Houthis off Yemen.
I gathered

Yes, I view the two, Hamas and Hezbollah, as the Iranian equivalent of a “fleet in being.”
A “fleet in being” is a naval force that extends a controlling influence without ever leaving port. Were the fleet to leave port and face the enemy, it might lose in battle and no longer influence the enemy’s actions, but while it remains safely in port, the enemy is forced to continually deploy forces to guard against it.” (Wikipedia)
Iran has lost the influence of it’s “fleet in being” as a force that could deter Israel.
So Iran is now isolated – naked as a Jaybird, one might say, to he whims or plans of Israel.
I might also suggest that under the Biden/Harris administration, the US removed sanctions from Iran and paid several billion $$ to them in ransom for a few Iranian/US hostages, and has consistently urged Israel to restrain itself and substitute negotiations and a ceasefire for definitive kinetic military operations.
If that wasn’t enough (!) to convince Israel that the US was an Iranian asset, Kamala’s snubbing of Netanyahu when he was in the US in favor of her addressing as sorority was proof beyond doubt that the US was not going to protect Israel from Iran.
So Israel (wisely) decided to abandon the US strategy of urging caution and negotiations rather than military operations.
And thus, behind the degradation of Hamas and now Hezbollah, did the final check on Israel’s restraint – US influence on Israel – collapse.
People were celebrating in London on his death, Lebanese it seemed
Our own DC, they were crying
One would think we would be celebrating the death , way overdue I might add, of the monster that killed so many Americans
But no,
Are people even aware that is who he was?
Our
Media and is worthless at best, and an evil arm
Of Satan most likely
I feel like I’m watching the Lord of the Rings being played out in real time
You know who has sneered at, and mocked — or tried to mock — Jared Kushner on his show? Tucker Carlson. At least two times in the past couple years, before I stopped watching.
Jared’s post got me fired up.
“But today … was the first day I started thinking about a Middle East without Iran’s fully loaded arsenal aimed at Israel.“
I never ever ever even considered peace could be possible. But he’s right, with Hamas neutralized and Hezbollah so vulnerable – I can imagine a Middle East without Iranian fangs. Peace and prosperity stemming from the Abraham Accords and daring Israel.
if we can stop sending money to all the ngo and governmental agencies that actually fund iran and its tentacles …
this whole “humanitarian” aid is as obvious as anything bs
time to rebuild the middle east with more capitalism …not the continued government over the people agenda
