Interesting, don’t you think?
And, apparently this wasn’t just an arrest of some mid-level admin guy who was out raising money for the organization. Nope, this was an arrest of someone who was already far along the way towards implementing a terrorist attack in Bangkok. A BIG terrorist attack. And, people think that somehow Hezbollah won’t ever get to them?
They are already in South America and Mexico. They have already been found in the US and Canada.
They just stopped a massive terrorist bombing in Thailand. How long do you think it’s going to be before they fail to stop a massive terrorist bombing in the US?

This is something that we’ve been worried about for a while – the Sinai border with Israel.
It is routinely used by Bedouin to smuggle all kinds of things into Israel – drugs, prostitutes, weapons and terrorists. Until now, Egypt has had a tight control on access to the Sinai and few weapons and terrorists have been able to gain access. Not so now.
Libyan weapons are flowing unchecked into the Sinai and terrorists are having a field day – with a free hand to do what they want. This is NOT good news to anyone that wants to see peace in the Middle East. Hamas no longer needs to just shoot rockets into Israel from Gaza, they can now launch attacks over land on Eilat and into southern Israeli cities.

Well, not tomorrow, but sometime in the near-to-medium future.
Anyone who sits down and looks at the mess that Hamas has made of Gaza would say the same thing. There is just no way that Israeli public opinion will allow Gaza to continue shooting rockets at Israeli civilians. The more those rockets kill, the closer Israel gets to yet another invasion of Gaza.
Why hasn’t the Israeli army invaded before now?
Because the Israeli army doesn’t actually enjoy going to war.

They started out as a group formed to directly oppose Israel in Lebanon. They called themselves Hizb’Allah, or Party of God. We called them Hezbollah, and they were celebrated as freedom fighters. When people pointed out their Qods Force/Iranian roots, we looked uncomfortable and changed the subject.
Which is too bad, because now they have arrived at our back door and started to weave their way into the narco terrorist and narco trafficking networks in Central and South America. The question in everyone’s mind now is how far they’ve penetrated into the United States.

Barry Rubin has just produced a startlingly good piece, which he begins:
There’s a saying that goes something like this: When things are bad, a Jew cries. When they get even worse, a Jew cries more. And when they even get worse, a Jew laughs. As indelicate as this may seem, the current situation makes me want to laugh.
I’m not sure that I could have said it better. Actually, I’m not sure that I could have said it at all, being that I’m not Jewish myself. My own thieving Scottish ancestors weren’t nearly as educated, long suffering or even erudite. (Of course, Clan Little was writ large in the annals of history as some of the best light cavalry in Europe – which is what happens when you make a habit of stealing horses.)
