A wonderful piece. If Israel had listened to Penny ( or gave the proverbial about what her rants to the United Antisemites Union aka the UN) she would be in a far worse place than she is now. Penny has no understanding of the middle east and the various governments here, state and Federal, are incompetent in their leadership. Seeing videos of marchers yelling for the death of Jews and waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags seemingly without impediment, makes me wonder- if they did the same with Nazi or Isis flags would the police act? Would the government actually do something? What if the Bali bombers' flags were waved about? The governments act to catch votes and have no moral compass or backbone. As you say, much of the Arab world has erupted in joy and are calling Bibi a hero and a king. Only in Australia do we read of how sainted a figure Nasrallah was, see the ABC appalling coverage of yesterday's rallies. I despair for our country.

Lebanese Christians were the canary down the coal mine for western nations. That the UN has allowed Lebanon to be used as Iran's military base for operations against Israel is a permanent stain on that ineffective institution. I am neither Jewish nor religious in any way but I rejoice when I see depraved mass murderers like Nasrallah taken out. I'm only sad that it's taken this long to get the bastard.
