Most dramatic events in Middle East since on October 7 last year

"We have decided to kill Nasrallah after concluding that he will not agree to any solution that isn't tied to ending the war in Gaza." NBC, quoting an Israeli official


"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."Jared Kushner

"Obviously, the extraordinary events of the past fortnight have been widely reported, but their significance has been grossly underplayed. Taken together, what with the pagers and the walkie-talkies and the killing of leader after terrorist leader, they are Israel’s greatest success since 1967’s Six Day War." Charles Moore

"In 1978, Israel's most prominent military analyst, Ze've Schiff, summed up remarks by Chief of Staff Mordecai Gur as follows: "The Israeli Army has always struck civilian populations, purposefully and consciously . . . The Army has never distinguished civilian from military targets – but purposefully attacked civilian targets." Ralph Nader

"Former UN Ambassador and Foreign Minister Abba Eban wrote of Israel under then Prime Minister Menachem Begin that Israel "is wantonly inflicting every possible measure of death and anguish on civilian populations in a mood reminiscent of regimes which neither Mr. Begin nor I would dare to mention by name." Ralph Nader

"Hezbollah is currently being run by everyone who last week Hezbollah thought wasn’t good enough to deserve a pager." 

Mark Wallace

"Washington's influence is waning. Loyalties are being canceled. The American century - which reached its greatest extent in 1990 with the end of bipolarity - is already drawing to a close. The world is drifting - and it is drifting away from the USA." David Goldman


'I love how every day the Biden Admin leaks to some gullible reporter about how they're "hopping mad" that Israel did this or did that, and every day it's followed by an announcement that the US is sending another $8 billion to Israel or sending more US troops to "defend Israel."'
