Right Thinking Flashback

On July 12th, Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets and mortars into northern Israel, then penetrated Israeli territory and attacked two Israeli Humvees, killing three soldiers, wounding three, and capturing two.

That event ignited the current battle between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

When you understand that Hezbollah, funded and armed by Iran and Syria, is dedicated to the elimination of Israel, and in turn to the elimination of the United States, it's worth revisiting a little-published news story from March of this year. Here is the story as it was posted on Right Thinking at the time.

Operatives Associated with Hezbollah Succeed in Crossing U.S. - Mexican Border

Want a reason to close the U.S. – Mexican border? How about FBI director Robert Mueller's statement this week to a House Appropriations subcommittee. According to Mueller, a group of operatives from a Hezbollah-organized group had succeeded, with the help of Hezbollah, in crossing the boarder from Mexico into the United States.

"This was an occasion in which Hezbollah operatives were assisting others with some association with Hezbollah in coming to the United States.”

Fortunately, according to Mueller, the FBI was successful in thwarting whatever intentions these operatives had (I don't think they were coming here with the intention of filling low-paying jobs that Americans won't do.)

Considering the fact that Hezbollah is a terrorist group believed to be responsible for the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, the suicide truck bombing of U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985, various other bombings, and numerous kidnappings, the fact that they had succeeded in smuggling operatives with whom they were working into the United States should be particularly disturbing to all Americans. Yet this information has barely made a ripple of news. To my knowledge, this has not been on any major network news. Even on the internet, the only place I can find anything about this is on Newsmax.com .

Has anyone seen anything about this anywhere else? I suspect the mainstream media would not want to say anything about this because it would just be more ammunition for those who want to secure the border, but why isn't there more about this online – or have I just missed it?

The Israeli-Hezbollah battle is only one battle in a global war. The world had better wake up and support Israel because while Israel is fighting for its own survival, it's also fighting for the survival all free people.
