Shabbat shalom!
We partied hearty last night, kicking off the celebration of our niece’s wedding with a delicious welcoming dinner and cocktail party at the yummy Centrolina restaurant. Then it was on to Wok and Roll for a late night karaoke jam, which featured a few pitchers of a drink called “Sayonara Motherfucker”. And that is a great lead in to the news, still breaking as I write, that Israel bombed the shit out of a location in Lebanon where Hassan Nasrallah and his gang of murderous henchmen were housed. Sayonara Nasrallah! A butcher responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, including Palestinian Arabs, his death is being celebrated in Israel, Lebanon, Syria and probably many other Arab nations.
What happens next is worrying, but Israelis are celebrating another stunning move by the IDF to throttle the bastards that have been shelling Israel without cause since October 8, causing the dislocation of around 80,000 Israelis from their homes in the north, many of those homes and entire communities destroyed by the Hizbollah rockets. I have to hand it to Bibi, he pushed the Go button on the operation immediately following his verbal attack on the United Useless Nations in New York. Nice move.
Of course, there will be many in the US and Europe that will condemn Israel for having the audacity to defend itself and to attempt to win a war they did not want. The campus clowns in the US will probably start some stupid chant, but folks with real moral clarity will celebrate the defeat of a real terrorist and ethnic cleanser.
This will be a short JNR this week as we continue with the wedding celebrations and activities. Lots to do, places to go, and hangovers to recover from. But, I thought I would end the week with Bill Maher’s closing New Rule from his latest show. He calls it Patriotic Privilege, and captures my thoughts on some of the protests that really piss me off. Enjoy.
To all my Israeli friends, let’s be careful out there.
Brad out.
