Unless you defeat a jihad army UTTERLY, they have won

In recent times, the defence of Israel and the Jewish people have suffered many dangerously useless men: Josep Borrell, Antony Blinken, and over the last few weeks, US mediator Amos Hochstein. Mr Hochstein's latest wisdom on Israel's war against the jihad terrorist army Hezbollah, immediately after the signing of the "ceasefire" he had brokered, was:

Hezbollah is weakened, it is degraded, and at some point, you have to say, 'what's the point of degrading it [further]? At some point you have to get to a deal itself.

This is the point of degrading it further, of degrading it to oblivion:

We have won because we prevented the enemy from destroying Hezbollah. We have won because we prevented it from finishing off the resistance, or to weaken it to a point where it could not operate. We defeated the enemy because Netanyahu was forced to justify the agreement and persuade the Israelis. He said that the second reason for the agreement was that he wanted to repair his army and replenish its weapons. He admits that they were weakened and defeated in this war. (Hezbollah Secretary-General, Naim Qassem)

The chorus in the Western media over whether the "ceasefire" (some even call it a 'peace deal') will hold is the flip-side of the incredulous dismissal of Hezbollah claims of victory. Regular readers of Murtadd to Human will be aware of how many times this website has inveighed against such dismissal as betraying ignorance and arrogance in equal measure. To them, it is Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLO and the Houthis who are deluded for claiming victory after they have so obviously been defeated. Unfortunately for such experts, jihad terrorist armies have not had the benefit of Western certainties, and so have never imbibed the wisdom that "At some point you have to get to a deal itself."

So what lies behind Naim Qassem's supposedly deluded statement? Why do jihad armies never fail to celebrate victory after a ceasefire or truce with Israel? Are they all mad, and mad in exactly the same way, to boot?

In Qassem's world, the Middle East, the Arab world, the Muslim world, the jihad world—that's quite a lot more world than Hochstein's world—only the weaker army wants a ceasefire, and they want a ceasefire because they fear their imminent utter obliteration at the hands of their stronger enemy. In their world, there is no point in being the stronger army unless you utterly obliterate the weaker. To do otherwise is to concede victory to what can only be the stronger, regardless of the condition of the two armies. To sue for a ceasefire is and can only be to avert the humiliation of defeat. This is why a jihad army accedes to their enemy's wish for a ceasefire and attacks the moment that ceasefire comes into effect, such ceasefire itself proving that their enemy will not be able to stop them. If they were strong enough to stop them, they would not have asked for a ceasefire. Thus has it ever been.

It might disturb the reader to know that the obtuse "resistance", i.e., the jihad to drive the "Crusaders" (yes, those wars continue to this day) and the Jewish intruders from "Muslim lands," as well as every other claim in Qassem's statement, are 100 percent true. Consider what is going through the Hezbollah leader's mind:

The IDF can send more than 100 fighter jets deep into Muslim territory and wreak havoc at will; it can pick out leaders inside deep bunkers and kill them; it can cripple an army in an instant in the most humiliating way imaginable; it can quite obviously obliterate Hezbollah a thousand times over. Yet the Israeli leader, Netanyahu, knows his mighty army is not strong enough to finish Hezbollah - he complains that the weapons his army has are not enough! He admits that his soldiers are weak, they need to retreat to have a rest. Every single one of our mujahideen fights until death. Many survived the war so far. They seek martyrdom eagerly. As we can see, Allah will surely grant us total victory very soon, insha-Allah.

Against the backdrop of Israel's many spectacular accomplishments during this war, every aspect of Hezbollah's survival, so proudly enumerated by Qassem, is a profound victory for jihad. Ceasefire after ceasefire after ceasefire means only one thing: jihad keeps winning, and over the din of their celebrations, Israel has to listen to Amos Hochstein's puerile, "At some point you have to get to a deal itself." Quite evidently, the American mediator has never heard of jihad, yet is considered qualified to mediate between Israel and the jihad point man in the Lebanese government, Nabih Berri. By the way, Berri is the leader of Amal, the forerunner of Hezbollah certain to take its place should the latter be destroyed. This is why all the Shi'a, not just Hezbollah, have to be expelled from South Lebanon.

Prime Minister Netanyahu claims to know about jihad, but if he can make a statement as irresponsible as, "to give our forces a breather and replenish stocks. And I say it openly, it is no secret that there have been big delays in weapons and munitions deliveries," one has to question whether he really knows jihad, or indeed, knows how his enemy's mind works. Whatever Netanyahu's reason for these words and regardless of their veracity, coming from his mouth, of course they are going to reanimate Hezbollah, one might even say, give them back their b*lls. Every other jihad outfit, including Hamas, will draw strength from Netanyahu's words.

If, as Hochstein rightly admits, "Hezbollah is weakened, it is degraded," then this is exactly the point at which to obviate the need for any deal, to make it impossible for Naim Qassem to make the kind of statement he made. The state Hezbollah must be left in must be such that no spin, no twist, no gloss will hide their defeat. Only then will their defeat be utter, leaving those who support them only to slink away in humiliation. That, and only that, equates to Israeli victory.

Unfortunately, all remaining Hezbollah terrorists now know with absolute certainty that they can approach the Israeli border in ones and twos and the IDF soldiers will fire warning shots into the air, thereby wasting their stocks that are already so diminished that they've had to plead for a ceasefire. Sixty days of warning shots is a lot of lost ammunition for which Hezbollah does not have to lose one bullet, let alone a mujahid. Every single warning shot redresses the balance in favour of Hezbollah. In other words, the so-called "ceasefire" is already a hostage to Hezbollah. Thank God Amos Hochstein was not there to advise General MacArthur!

Hi Anjuli,
Thank you for this excellent article! Totally agree with you.
As Mr Gallant said about Qassem, "Temporary appointment". I hope the IDF captures him soon – I say captures, not eliminates!
Kind regards,
Jalal.

Dear Anjuli Pandavar

Thank you for posting this excellent advice.

We need to be presently very cautious how we tread with the outgoing anti-Israel O'Biden Administration.

They have already caused us unbearable damage by protecting the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies from our retaliation and with their strict embargo of transfer of arms and ammunition.

They can continue to throw us under the bus 🚌 at the UNSC.

47 days to go to the redemption of America and Israel from the Woke Progressive stranglehold of the Democ rats.

Patience is a virtue.

Best Regards
