🔵 KOMENTÁR dňa Israel’s weakness exposed: Nasrallah murders Israeli children, and we do nothing
Israel has not yet responded. Hassan Nasrallah understands and smiles. And he is not alone.
It is 6:18 pm. Exactly 48 hours ago, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, murdered 12 Israeli children playing on the grass in a field near their home. Two days have passed, and nothing has happened.
… In the Middle Eastern neighborhood, if you don’t respond with force and on time, you lose the remaining deterrence.
What will happen if you don’t respond strongly and on time? Nasrallah will understand, Iran will understand, the Druze will understand, Syria will understand, Recep Tayyip Erdogan will understand. And we will understand too. …
And we also understand. Slowly, with many tears and pain – but we understand. That our existence here was built on illusions and lies. And that the political and military establishment, which was supposed to ensure our existence and that of our children and grandchildren, has failed and caused failure. And if we don’t act quickly and replace everyone who needs to be replaced, in suits or uniforms – we are in real danger. https://lnk.sk/mjmo
