Israel Should Have Taken Out Hezbollah Leader

Posted by ARI Media at 12:23 AM

Irvine, CA—"Israel should have taken out Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah as he spoke in public to hundreds of thousands of flag-waving supporters this Friday in Beirut," said Yaron Brook, president of the Ayn Rand Institute.

"Nasrallah is as much an enemy of Israel as Osama bin Laden is an enemy of the United States. Both are Islamic terrorists seeking the destruction of innocent life to establish a global Islamic theocracy.

"If the United States had the opportunity to kill an avowed enemy such as bin Laden, along with thousands of Al-Qaeda supporters, it should not hesitate to do it. Neither should Israel."
