[Jared Kushner @jaredkushner]

September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

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.

BREAKING: Study confirms that the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines more than 1,500 times with bias and false reporting about Israel. Former BBC executive calling it “an institutional crisis.”

[Jon Fraser @JonFraserTF]

I just lost it about 20 minutes ago. I live near Union Station and I heard the incessant, insane chanting of the Hamas supporters as I do every weekend and lost it.

I put my shoes on, went down and waded into the crowd chanting Fuck Off over and over again. I don't think I accomplished much except getting the masked cowards pissed off, but damn it felt good. Several of them had the tiny balls to tell me to go back to Europe Jew (which is interesting because I'm Catholic).

I will say that I got a silently mouthed thank you from my dozens of cops who stood by watching.

Maybe we need to start counter-protesting and take back our country.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Consider that Hamas chose to execute an American hostage with a bullet to the back of his head during the last two or three days (along with five other hostages) whose parents just spoke at the DNC less than two weeks ago, while hostage negotiations were underway.

Consider that the U.S. strategy over the last 330 days has been to pressure Israel to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, including through the withholding of weapons from @Israel, and by periodically leaking our failure to support our ally to the media in the midst of hostage negotiations.

Consider what pressure if any the U.S. has brought to bear on Hamas and our friends in the region who harbor Hamas’ leadership?

Why? Why has our leadership adopted this failed strategy?

Because @POTUS Biden (who has been on vacation for 16 days) and @KamalaHarris, who also just skipped a ceremony at Arlington Cemetery to honor 13 fallen soldiers from the failed Afghanistan withdrawal, along with their advisers in the DNC, believe they will lose important votes in certain key swing states and from Hamas supporters on campuses.

It has been proven time and time again that the only thing that terrorists understand is brute force. Rather than pressure Israel, the United States should have put more pressure on our other allies in the region to help, and done everything we can to help Israel defeat Hamas and recover the hostages, but unfortunately this was not good politics for Biden/Harris and some of their supporters.

By being weak and lacking resolve, we failed our captured, now dead citizens, and the other hostages and their families while emboldening terrorists around the world.

The result:

It has become much less safe to be an American since October 7th because of our failed leadership.

It has become much less safe to be a member of the free world since October 7th because of our failed leadership.

We are in desperate need for a change in leadership so our enemies once again fear the United States and think twice before they act against us and/or our allies.

The time has come.

Rachel Goldberg-Polin: "Ok sweet boy, go now on your journey. I hope it's as good as the trips you dreamed about because finally, my sweet boy, finally, finally, finally, finally you are free.

I will love you and I will miss you every single day for the rest of my life, but you're right here. I know you're right here. I just have to teach myself how to feel you in a different way.

And Hersh there is one last thing I need you to do for us. Now I need you to help us stay strong and I need you to help us survive"

[Emily Austin @Emilyaustin]

After the hostages surviving nearly a year of suffering in 60ft deep tunnels, they were murdered by Hamas with a bullet in the head because the IDF was getting close to rescuing them.
This is sickening!
Devastating is an understatement.

[Emily Austin @Emilyaustin]

Hey useful idiots, here’s a message from Hamas. They taped these videos before executing the hostages.
If you can still support these monsters, you are an evil terrorist yourself.
Plain & Simple.
Don’t cry for a ceasefire when you’re not demanding the hostages release too.

[Kiyah Willis @kiyahwillis]

I am against the Houthis because we have directly conflicting goals

They want to kill me and I want to live

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Hamas's propaganda video teasing the "fate" of 3 Israeli hostages today, esp. of Noa Argamani who may lose her life before her dying mother, is another demonstration of how sick & depraved this terror organization really is. Their safe release requires a tough but necessary deal.

[Nils Svendsen @nils_svendsen]

Never stop talking about the hostages.
Never stop talking about the hostages.

Get in line! Love this. Am Israel chai

[Marc Zell - מארק צל @GOPIsrael]

This is Israeli columnist, Hanoch Daum. The other day he was sitting in a restaurant next to a table of IDF soldiers on leave from Gaza. Daum went over to the owner and discretely asked if he could pay for the soldiers’ meals. The owner replied, “Look, Pop, you’ll have to get in line. Six others offered to do the same thing before you.” The legacy media won’t tell you much about the pride and love the vast majority of Israelis have for the men and women now fighting on multiple fronts for the survival of their tiny country, the Jewish People and Western Civilization.

@SabeenGWSLFP @_Afzal_Warraich Spoken like someone who doesn’t have a genocidal blood thirsty organization coming after her.

[Assita Kanko MEP @Assita_Kanko]

Some people called me an extremist because I spoke up for respect and protection for all women. I asked what extreme position they were specifically speaking about of course no response. Because there is none.
What I clearly said is that Jews are human beings. We can’t tolerate antisemitism. That Hamas is a terror organisation, a danger to Palestinians Israelis and the West. We must unequivocally condemn terrorisme.

What I said is that when you say MeToo, it has to be about all women, also women from other political divides and women like the Jewish women who were raped and mutilated on October 7 in Israel. When you defend women’s rights, defend all the women!

If saying that all the women are equal and saying that anti-Semitism is unacceptable, is extremist, I don’t know how they call the real extremists. This breaks my heart.

The problem is that when they call you extremist because you are having a free opinion, they put a huge target on you. And then the radical Muslims are going to try to kill you. This is what is happening in Europe and then nobody wants to speak. I refuse.

Together, we must protect the Europe
that we want for our children.

[Yam Peleg @Yampeleg]

One of the hostages said the doctor refused to treat her because she “was not treating Jews”

There are loads of terrorists from Gaza in Israeli hospitals right now.

We are not the same.

I used to wonder how decent Germans could sit quietly and watch the dehumanization of and escalating violence against Jews.

Now I know.

[Simi 🇮🇱 @simi_sapir]

@gaijingirl2004 Trying to say this in the kindest way. Here goes. Both Hamas and Hitler would have killed you too. A Jew is a Jew is a Jew.

[Simi 🇮🇱 @simi_sapir]

@_ZachFoster spoken like a true @Princeton grad. Vomit.

[Simi 🇮🇱 @simi_sapir]

@RmSalih Hamas gave you every single proof. It's just called "stupidity".
