A questionable incident unfolded recently with Hezbollah terrorists finding their walkie-talkies and pagers igniting during what can only be termed explosive miscommunications. In a classic case of misdirection, Hezbollah pointed fingers at Israel for the fiery fiasco, seemingly ignoring the fact that their tech choices may have been the real culprit. This destruction didn’t come without repercussions; Israel launched targeted strikes in Lebanon against Hezbollah—their favorite punching bag. Typical outcries surfaced from the predictable cast of characters, including the ever-perturbed anti-Israel Squad coupled with a White House press corps that’s often awash with confusion and disappointment.
Scott Jennings, appearing on CNN’s evening lineup, expressed a hearty round of applause for Israel’s apparent ability to simultaneously eradicate communication devices and directly eliminate threats. Jennings pulled no punches when he highlighted that Israel’s decision to go rogue without providing a heads-up to their ally, the U.S., raises more than a few eyebrows. Perhaps we should be asking ourselves, what was so alarming in that decision-making process that Israel thought it best to keep the Biden-Harris administration in the dark? Jennings stirred the pot, pointing to the likely notion that Israel has concluded discussions with the Biden administration aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

The Biden-Harris administration has managed to cultivate quite a track record of questionable support for Israel, with accusations flying about their reluctance to back our ally firmly. It’s become so absurd that threats regarding weapons allocations have shifted from positive actions to bewildering tactics against a country that’s not just an ally but a beacon of democracy in that region. This might explain why Israel feels the need to fly under the radar when dealing with its longstanding foes.
Despite these well-documented tensions, Secretary of State Antony Blinken decided to wear his frustration on his sleeve— lamenting how these so-called surprise escalations could jeopardize the fragile hopes for a ceasefire. Newsflash: the only thing that’s really jeopardizing peace is the constant terror tactics from Hezbollah. The White House press corps, of course, had a field day questioning National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby about the explosive events. In the true spirit of good journalism, they grilled him fiercely on something he had already confirmed—this wasn’t a U.S. backed operation.
Amidst the debris of burnt pagers and walkie-talkies, the press can be seen fuming over Israel’s successful strikes. The overwhelming anger from networks like NBC, CBS, and ABC has become a potent reminder that our elite media simply can’t seem to grasp the rationale behind Israel’s actions. They rain questions like judgment upon Kirby despite his proclamations of non-involvement by the U.S. Clearly, the pressures from this anti-Israel sentiment and desire for a palatable narrative have clouded their sense of reason.
In a world where terrorists have their gadgets turned into shrapnel, it becomes evident that Israel is left to fight not just actual threats, but also the impending wave of media outrage that follows. Perhaps this latest incident sheds light on a deeper truth—that Israel has chosen to act in its own best interests, which may or may not align with a U.S. administration more occupied with appeasement than solidarity. The irony is rich: while the press fumes over faulty pagers, the real narrative is Israel’s commitment to its survival, and the U.S. administration’s conspicuous absence in the game plan.
