Hezbollah Kills Americans

We heard a great deal of distortions and deception from the anti-war, anti-Israel left last week. False claims that there is no reason why the U.S. should support Israel as it faces down the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

I can think of at least 289 reasons, listed below. These numbers do not include the many hundreds more non-Americans killed during these attacks, nor the toll taken on the thousands injured.

• 17 Americans killed April 18, 1983 Bombing of U.S. Embassy in Beirut
• 241 Americans killed Oct. 23, 1983 Bombing of Marine barracks in Beirut
• 1 American killed March 16, 1984 CIA Station Chief William Buckley Beirut
• 2 Americans killed Sept. 20, 1984 Bombing of U.S. Embassy annex northeast of Beirut
• 2 Americans killed Dec. 3, 1984 Hijacking of Kuwait Airways Flight 221
• 1 American killed June 14, 1985 Hijacking of TWA Flight 847, Beirut
• 1 American killed February 17, 1988 Col Rich Higgins kidnapped.
• 5 Americans killed November 13, 1995 Bombing Saudi National Guard Building, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
• 19 Americans killed June 25, 1996 Khobar Towers US Air Force Housing

Hezbollah is directly and indirectly linked to the deaths of 289 Americans. Chief mastermind behind many of these attacks is IMAD FAYEZ MUGNIYAH, Most Wanted by the FBI.

The Beirut Memorial Online has the names of many of these Americans killed by Hezbollah. Their sacrifice is not forgotten, even if justice for their killers has been so long delayed.

Is this what the left supports by their desperate opposition to Israel?
