Israel assassinates Hezbollah’s chief with a missile strike: Letters

The Subject: Israel’s missile strike on a neighborhood in Beirut that killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

With the killing of Hezbollah’s chief, Hassan Nasrallah, Israel has proven its functionality to kill its foes (“Time’s up on Israeli persistence,” Sept. 29).

We’re witnessing a brand new Israel, one that may not have a measured response. It has the motivation to impose its will on its enemies.

The IDF’s assault on Hezbollah’s headquarters eradicated not solely its chief, Nasrallah, but additionally many different senior commanders.

However the actuality is that this is not going to finish the warfare. New leaders for Hezbollah will emerge and, finally, Iran’s proxies will proceed to assault Israel.

I don’t assume many individuals will mourn Nasrallah’s demise.

However many will mourn the implications of Israel’s strikes on Lebanon, which have killed quite a few civilians and displaced hundreds extra. They can even mourn the escalation that this strike will trigger, which might result in a bigger battle between Israel and Lebanon that kills much more civilians.
We have to put a collar on Israel now and push for a cease-fire earlier than we have now World Battle III on our fingers.

Israel’s elimination of Nasrallah was not an “escalation.” The escalation occurred when Hezbollah attacked Israel from the north to open a second entrance in Iran’s proxy warfare towards Israel, a day after Hamas invaded Israel from the south.

Hezbollah, since then, has fired greater than 9,000 rockets at Israel, killing dozens and forcing 60,000 Israelis to the nation’s north.

Is there a much bigger image to the Israel-Hezbollah battle that we aren’t seeing?

Hezbollah’s leaders should have predicted and deliberate round the way in which Israel would react to their assaults. The strike on Nasrallah wasn’t merely an incident born from impulsivity.

Is the escalating violence within the Center East the aim of their assault on Israel? Is Israel’s rage and assaults on this Iranian proxy the results of a pre-planned purpose to sow chaos?

The Subject: New statistics indicating that roughly 15,000 migrants accused of homicide reside within the US.

I learn The Publish’s story in regards to the 15,000 killer migrants who’re in the US (“15K+ unlawful migrant killers,” Sept. 28).

These prison migrants threaten America. Kamala Harris was supposed to ensure this didn’t occur — and but, it did. Regardless of this, she nonetheless desires to develop into president.

The story in regards to the 15,000 killer unlawful migrants and different violent criminals who’ve poured throughout our borders ought to be the defining concern of the 2024 election.

“Border Czar” Vice President Harris ought to be held chargeable for her and President Biden’s horrible document on border safety.

Former President Donald Trump’s marketing campaign ought to run hard-hitting advertisements from now till Election Day highlighting the out-of-control violent crimes of those unlawful aliens.

Assume again to the ultimate days of the 1988 presidential election. Then, the well-known ‘Willie Horton’ advertisements towards then-Democratic presidential nominee Michael Du­kakis had been instrumental in serving to former President George H.W. Bush win the election. The Trump marketing campaign has a golden alternative to duplicate that success.
