Hoping For a Lasting Ceasefire

Today, Israel is expected to enter into a ceasefire with Hezbollah. It was negotiated with the help of the US and France. John Kirby, the national security spokesperson, said on Monday, “We’re close” but “nothing is done until everything is done.”

This is a truth. It ain’t over til it’s over (Yogi Berra). It has been reported everywhere.

So we wait. When it is signed, let us hope and pray it sticks. The hate and the killing cannot go on.

And the Devil, sitting nine hundred fifty miles to the east is fuming. The Mullahs and the Ayatollah are enraged by the prospect that their client is willing to shut down its operation.

Soon enough, in about fifty-five days, a new Sheriff will be in town to make sure the ceasefire holds. And Iran will feel the wrath of sanctions which will strangle its ability to wage war.

Next to come will be Hamas. The anti-Semitic mob here in the US and elsewhere will protest, but will be shut down by those who wish for Israel to live in peace. The people subject to the cruelty of Hamas want it to stop.

So AOC and Omar and Pressley and Tlaib need to take a seat. You are contemptible and your hate for Israel is sickening. You are not helping any cause for those who live in Gaza.

Let us wish for a permanent and lasting ceasefire.
