BEIRUT - Looks like Lebanon's playing the victim card again. The Lebanese Health Ministry is whining about 3,213 dead and 9,737 injured since March 2 thanks to, allegedly, Israeli 'attacks.' Boo hoo. Maybe don't let your country become a launchpad for Iranian-backed jihadis, then? Just a thought.

Seriously, it's like clockwork. Israel tries to defend itself against constant rocket fire and cross-border terrorism, and suddenly everyone's clutching their pearls about 'disproportionate force.' Newsflash: war isn't pretty. And when your neighbor is actively trying to kill you, 'proportionate' response is whatever it takes to stop them.

Let's be real, Lebanon is basically a failed state run by Hezbollah and whoever pays them the most. They can't control their own territory, so Israel has to do it for them. And when things get messy, suddenly they're all innocent bystanders? Spare me the crocodile tears.

The usual suspects are already lining up to condemn Israel. The UN will wag its finger, the EU will issue a strongly worded statement, and AOC will tweet something about 'human rights.' Meanwhile, Israel is the only country in the region that actually has human rights. Go figure.

But hey, at least this gives the media something to distract from Biden's latest gaffe or the economy collapsing. Gotta keep those narratives spinning, right? Can't have people actually thinking for themselves.

So yeah, people died. War is hell. But maybe, just maybe, if Lebanon stopped being a playground for terrorists, things wouldn't be so… explosive. Just a thought. Keep coping, libs.

This whole situation is like that Drake meme: Israel trying to live in peace . Israel defending itself against terrorists .

Remember when everyone said Trump was going to start World War III? Turns out, it's the Democrats who can't stop funding proxy wars in Eastern Europe and ignoring the chaos in the Middle East.

Time to build the wall... on the Lebanese border. Make them pay for it, too. Seriously though, secure the border, deal with the bad actors, and let the rest sort themselves out. Less hand-wringing, more action.
