In a move that should shock no one, Iran and Hezbollah are fully on board with the on-going Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

As Deanna reported earlier, Hamas terrorists along with now 5,000 rockets sent into Israel and counting, snuck in via trucks, motorcycles, and even paragliders to attack Israeli towns in multiple areas across the country. Hostages have been taken, some already killed, and many Israelis are wounded. 

This attack is even more egregious given it happened on Shabbatt, when Israelis were in their homes with technology turned off, and it is ALSO 50 years to the day of the start of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is mobilizing forces to defend Israel. 

As noted above, two of the usual terrorist-supporting suspects are expressing their praise and admiration for this attack on Israel. 

An adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday congratulated Palestinian fighters for launching the biggest attack on Israel in years, the semi-official ISNA news site reported.

“We congratulate the Palestinian fighters,” it quoted Yahya Rahim Safavi as saying. “We will stand by the Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem.”

In a surprise assault, Palestinian group Hamas crossed into several Israeli towns on Saturday with a heavy barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.

Iran’s state television showed parliament members rising from their seats on Saturday to chant “Death to Israel” and “Palestine is victorious, Israel will be destroyed”.

And then there’s Hezbollah, a terrorist group (that also receives monetary and military support from Iran) cheering Hamas on. 

In a statement, Hezbollah Media Relations expressed admiration for the Palestinian people and resistance heroes, particularly Hamas and Al-Qassam Brigades, for their “valiant and wide-scale operation, crowned with triumph and divine assistance.”

Describing the operation as a decisive retaliation to israeli crimes and continuous aggression against Palestinian sanctities, the statement emphasized the significance of military resistance as the only effective response to Israeli occupation.

As of this writing, Hamas terrorists are engaged against Israel in at least TWENTY TWO cities and towns. This wasn’t just a random attack. This, given the sheer number of forces, rockets, drones, and more show that this attack was planned for a very long time. And, it isn’t unrealistic to point out that, while Iran has been reaping money from sales of oil to China and Russia, some of those funds were directed to arm up and possibly train Hamas for this. 

It isn’t that they are just going after Israeli soldiers and taking them hostage, they are attacking civilians in their homes and communities.

Many world leaders and governments are condemning these attacks. If Israel falls, so goes the Middle East. Yet there are others who, as with Iran and Hezbollah (whom Obama emboldened with the Iran Deal) are far too sympathetic to the terrorists. Showing their true colors as it were. 

Team Biden made a Day 1 decision to pour millions of dollars into Hamas areas. Internal emails show them saying it would boost Hamas terrorism, but they did it anyway.

Then Hamas launched an invasion of Israel.

Team Biden's immediate response was to tell Israel to roll with it. pic.twitter.com/PopoiBo3oM

Yes, that is a tweet from the Palestinian office WITHIN our State Department! Understandably, they deleted it, but not until many people called them out for advocating that Israel just lie there and take it. 

This is disgraceful and every single person involved in drafting and approving this tweet should be immediately expelled from the U.S. government. https://t.co/EF6cJOCVpM

The entire Office of Palestinian Affairs needs to be fired. ASAP. Oh, but they aren’t alone. Good ole Laurence Tribe rode in with this absolutely scummy comment. 

And then he deleted and ran. I mean, when even Keith Oblermann calls you out, you know you said a very bad thing. 

Here’s another problem with this. We are supposed to sympathize and perhaps realize that this attack by a well-known terrorist group is warranted because of a sixteen-year blockade. 

For some Gazans, Saturday morning’s surprise Palestinian attack into southern Israel seemed a justified response to a 16-year Israeli blockade. Others worried that the coordinated attack would only add to Gaza’s misery as the tiny enclave braced for a large-scale response from Israel.

The Palestinian territory of Gaza has been under a suffocating Israeli blockade, backed by Egypt, since Hamas seized control of the coastal strip in 2007. The blockade restricts the import of goods, including electronic and computer equipment, that could be used to make weapons and prevents most people from leaving the territory.

How about NO. No sympathy for terrorists. No sympathy for those who’ve gone into Israel, attacked civilians and taken both soldiers AND civilians hostage. NONE. 

An additional item to note is that there are more casualties and injuries in the first few hours of this attack than there were during the 34 day war back in 2006.

Naval infiltration by Hamas terrorists ongoing. Unusually sophisticated attack. I’ve never seen them carry out something like this. Huge intel failure on Israel’s part. pic.twitter.com/zyBZaTnaIk

Which, again speaks to how well-planned and funded this attack is. 

Since this morning, the State of Israel has been at war. Our first objective is to clear out the hostile forces that infiltrated our territory and restore the security and quiet to the communities that have been attacked.

The second objective, at the same time, is to exact an… pic.twitter.com/MzKs7tfv4M

As Elon Musk notes and hopes for, we would all want peace. Yet, right now, Israel is under attack and MUST defend itself. And we must stand with Israel.

That is close to accurate. And here are two quotes of hers to ponder as we watch the continued attacks on Israel unfold:

This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy.

We say peace and the echo comes back from the other side, war. We dont want wars even when we win.

Keep that in mind as we watch Iran, Hezbollah, and yes even those within our own government cheer on terrorists attacking Israel. Hamas terrorists started this war. Israel needs to finish it with all the force at its disposal. And the hand wringers along with terrorist apologists can go pound sand.
