What Hezbollah Did This Week

At at a 2:45 PM meeting on Wednesday with Counsul General Jacob Dayan of Israel at Scripps College, I asked him what he says to the people who wrongly say that Hezbollah isn’t a terrorist organization. He answered very directly, very simply: “How many political parties do you know that have 50,000 missiles?”Let’s just take a look at the headline news for the past week about Hezbollah. This news from around the world is for those of you who need more evidence on why Claremont McKenna’s Professor Bassam Frangieh’s support for that terrorist organization is bad for America and world peace.
