Have you people seen? The media was going bonkers! They were orgasmic as they were watching bombs drop in southern Lebanon, particularly on PMSNBC. I want to tell you what this illustrates, what it really illustrates here. It proves that the Israelis are showing enormous restraint. I mean, they could roll right through this entire country of Lebanon if they wanted to all the way into Damascus. I hear this talk about proportionality, and it just, well, it makes me mad. It\u2019s not a universal voice that is demanding Israeli proportionality. I\u2019m still encouraged. I think there are a number of elements of conventional wisdom that are under assault and in the process of changing. For example, you know, our morning update today took to task the humanitarian head honcho of the United Nations, Jan Egeland, but he accused Hezbollah yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Hezbos.\u2019 That\u2019s my new name for them: the Hezbos. So many different pronounces for these guys, Hezbollah, Hezbullah, Hizbollah, Hizbullah, I just say &#8216;the Hezbos.\u2019 It takes less time, makes more sense. This Jan Egeland was speaking with reporters at an airport in Cyprus late yesterday after a visit to Lebanon, and he accused the Hezbos of cowardly blending among Lebanese civilians and causing the deaths of hundreds during two weeks of cross-border violence with Israel. The Hezbos have built bunkers and tunnels near the Israeli border to shelter weapons and fighters and its members easily blend in among civilians, by design. Hell, they\u2019re not letting civilians leave. In fact, the Israelis have fired on some ambulances. Oh, my God, all hell broke loose! <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Why, how could you possibly do this! Why, that\u2019s beyond the Geneva Conventions. That\u2019s horrible. It\u2019s violating the rules of war.\u2019 Well, the Israelis found out that Hezbos are transporting themselves in ambulances from one locale to the next, so it appears that their intelligence is improving a little bit at the same time. In addition to that, CNN\u2019s Nic Robertson has admitted that the Hezbos had control of his anti-Israel piece. This is one of the pieces I watched. Remember we were talking about the humanization of Nasrallah and how deeply involved in social surfaces they are? I don\u2019t think it was that exact piece, but it was one like it. Robertson admitted that the Hezbos had control of his anti-Israel piece.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Back on July 18, Hezbollah took Robertson and his crew on a tour of a heavily damaged south Beirut neighborhood. The Hezbollah &#8216;press officer\u2019 even instructed the CNN camera: &#8216;Just look. Shoot. Look at this building. Is it a military base? Is it a military base, or just civilians living in this building?&#8221; So it was an orchestrated story. &#8216;In a set-up to his interview with Robertson, Howard Kurtz played clips of NBC\u2019s Richard Engel and CBS\u2019s Elizabeth Palmer relating their trips into the damaged areas, with Palmer providing the sort of disclaimer that Robertson failed to include last week: &#8216;This morning, Hezbollah showed journalists around the ruins of its former stronghold, but Hezbollah is also determined that outsiders will only see what it wants them to see.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>CNN did not tag their report thus. There\u2019s an interesting piece today by John Podhoretz. It\u2019s amazing, ladies and gentlemen, how this program is show prep for the rest of the media. Podhoretz (&#8216;JPod\u2019 as he\u2019s known among colleagues at National Review Online), the title of his piece today: &#8216;Too nice to win? Israel\u2019s dilemma.\u2019 Let me just read you some of the questions he asks. &#8216;What if liberal democracies have now evolved to a point where they can no longer wage war effectively because they have achieved a level of humanitarian concern for others that dwarfs any really cold-eyed pursuit of their own national interests?<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/service.bfast.com\/bfast\/click?bfmid=2181&amp;sourceid=38461944&amp;bfpid=0060578629&amp;bfmtype=book\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Encouraging_Signs_in_Israeli-Hezbo_War_-07_25_07.Par.0010.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"179\" height=\"289\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a> &#8216;What if the universalist idea of liberal democracy &#8211; the idea that all people are created equal &#8211; has sunk in so deeply that we no longer assign special value to the lives and interests of our own people as opposed to those in other countries?\u2019 Well, I actually can\u2019t claim credit for being first with this. Shelby Steele was first with it in his book <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/service.bfast.com\/bfast\/click?bfmid=2181&amp;sourceid=38461944&amp;bfpid=0060578629&amp;bfmtype=book\">White Guilt<\/a>. Don\u2019t be put off by that title, if you\u2019re just hearing about this for the first time. Shelby Steele\u2019s point is that superpowers and majorities have been made weak by guilt over their power, guilt about their power, guilt about their pasts, and guilt at the unfair advantage they have over the peons of the world. <\/p>\n<p>So when the peons of the world erupt and start killing people in superpower or western democracy countries, it is, &#8216;Well, you know, maybe we deserve this, the way we\u2019ve treated the world all these years,\u2019 and we\u2019ve got a leftist contingent throughout the world, in this country, too, that promulgates and promotes that whole concept in classrooms and so forth. Another question asked by JPod: <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;What if this triumph of universalism is demonstrated by the Left\u2019s insistence that American and Israeli military actions marked by an extraordinary concern for preventing civilian casualties are in fact unacceptably brutal? And is also apparent in the Right\u2019s claim that a war against a country has nothing to do with the people but only with that country\u2019s leaders? Can any war be won when this is the nature of the discussion in the countries fighting the war? Can any war be won when one of the combatants voluntarily limits itself in this manner? Could World War II have been won by Britain and the United States if the two countries did not have it in them to firebomb Dresden and nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Well, I don\u2019t mean to be cutting of J. Pod, but we discussed all this on this program last week and even the week before, and discussed it in many ways. I asked it, &#8216;What is the will of the American people where this where all this is concerned?\u2019 Fascinating interview yesterday, by the way, with Ralph Peters, which will be in the next issue of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/\/\/home\/menu\/limbaughletter_defeatthem.html\">Limbaugh Letter<\/a>, and I\u2019m going to probably cut it up and tempt you, tease you with some audio excerpts of this interview because he\u2019s a brilliant man and he\u2019s a great writer. He also echoed many of the sentiments I had. He just went on and on and on about the greatness of the American people, and when finally pushed to the limit, you can always count on them. You can count on Main Street, small town, middle America, to always do the right thing. <\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t believe that has changed. He thinks that represents a majority of the country\u2019s thinking. He, of course, had effusive praise for the men and women of the armed forces of which he was a former member. But still, there are new constraints on countries like the United States and Israel when it comes to waging war even after you\u2019ve been attacked. And everybody is asking the question and has been in the case of Israel, do they really have the guts to be the old Israelis of the past? And look at those tanks moving now. It looks like the Israelis haven\u2019t changed at all. This is heartwarming news, because Israel is fighting this war for us; they\u2019re doing this for our sake as well as for theirs.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The editor-publisher of the largest newspaper in Germany has called the Europeans a bunch of cowards. He\u2019s called them a bunch of cowards, and what reminded me of it was some little crawl on TV: Europeans require ceasefire before sending in any members of some peacekeeping force. The Germans &#8212; get this, the <emphasize>Germans<\/emphasize> &#8212; said we will only go in if Hezbos promise not to shoot at us. The Germans said this after the editor of their largest newspaper, and I can\u2019t even remember the name of the newspaper, basically called the Europeans a bunch of cowards. Here\u2019s another interesting piece on this. This is from Greg Richards at one of our favorite blogs, as you know, the American Thinker: &#8216;Israel is being set up in the world\u2019s media to meet an impossible standard. To its critics, if Israel does not instantly destroy all of the Hezbos and its fixed installations &#8212; and that instant has now already passed &#8212; and do it without taking any casualties itself or inflicting any collateral damage on the other side, then it has failed. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;By this peculiar standard any country that has ever fought a war has lost it after the first week, but it should surprise no one that this standard is only applied to Israeli and the United States. It\u2019s an absurd standard and a defeatist one. Having set the rules of the game so as to ensure failure, critics then commence laying blame on the country, which is presumed guilty merely by being who and what it is. The victim of unprovoked attacks is thus guilty of a disproportionate response, eliminating military installations hidden among civilians such as hiding being a war crime itself, by the way, becomes an attack on civilians. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Encouraging_Signs_in_Israeli-Hezbo_War_-07_25_07.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"155\" height=\"202\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> &#8216;Such guilt-mongering is not simply wrong, it\u2019s also camouflage designed to divert attention away from the party which bears far greater responsibility, and there is a person that is responsible for the devastation both in Israel and Lebanon, and that person is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. This is Kofi\u2019s war,\u2019 writes Mr. Richards. &#8216;Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 2000, under the guarantee of a UN resolution that the border area would not be remilitarized. The responsible agent of that guarantee is Kofi Annan.\u2019 You know, I love all these guys because they contribute to our broad base knowledge and intellect, but I must say this is tough. It\u2019s tough to see so much of what has already been said on this program in past weeks pop up days and even weeks later. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here, by the way, is a piece that I didn\u2019t print out. It\u2019s by Mathias D&amp;ouml;pfner, the CEO of Axel Springer AG. He\u2019s chief executive of the German publisher Axel Springer, and he wrote a blistering attack in Die Welt, Germany\u2019s largest daily paper, &#8216;Against a timid reaction of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat. Must read,\u2019 it says here. &#8216;A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt on Sonntag, &#8216;Europe, Your Family Name is Appeasement.\u2019 It\u2019s a phrase you can\u2019t get out of your head because it\u2019s so terribly true,\u2019 but his point is: Europe, thy name is cowardice, and this is the CEO of the largest publishing unit in Germany. Williamstown, Kentucky, we\u2019ll start with you on the phones today, Ned. Welcome. Nice to have you with us, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thanks for talking to me, Rush, I appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: My comment was: I\u2019m in the Army, and I see on TV, reading the paper, whatever, how the Israeli-Lebanese conflict with Hezbollah, whatever, you know, the international community, I don\u2019t know, makes us look like the bad people when we have to attack a civilian area where the enemy stored weapons, soldiers, stuff like that, and how they demonize the Israeli army for destroying these sites when they\u2019re being shot at, they\u2019re obviously caches for enemy weapons, but they don\u2019t demonize them for doing so, you know, putting anti-aircraft on top of hospitals and stuff, which is against the law of land warfare. Why doesn\u2019t the international community say, &#8220;Hey, you know, in this war: they are the reason for the deaths.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: More and more of them are. Those who aren\u2019t are doing so simply because of two things, two basic things. There\u2019s just a general hatred for western democracies among much the world and Israel gets added into that, also because they\u2019re Jewish and there\u2019s anti-Semitism. The United Nations is the breeding ground and the modern day repository for anti-Semitism, as is much of Europe. France? You wouldn\u2019t believe the level of anti-Semitism there. So there\u2019s no question that that\u2019s part of it, but you\u2019ve got more and more people now that are starting to see this another way. It\u2019s not as universal as it used to be even to the extent that the Arab nations in that region have condemned Hezbollah as well. <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Encouraging_Signs_in_Israeli-Hezbo_War_-07_25_07.Par.0011.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"315\" height=\"203\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>In fact, Israel is an interesting study. You know, Israel is a very, very liberal bunch of people. Israel is a very socially liberal country. In this instance, however, it\u2019s fascinating, a couple of the biggest liberal, social, political leaders, not elected, but just commentators and so forth in that country are 100% behind this action. Public opinion polls in Israel show that 90% of Israelis are all for what the Israelis are doing. I go back to what I said last week. There\u2019s a whole bunch of positive stuff in this, and I don\u2019t want to spend the whole day here recounting it, but among some of the things that are positive, terrorist techniques are now being learned and discovered and they\u2019re not being supported. There\u2019s a call from the United Nations, &#8220;We gotta stop this humanitarian blasting, this is blasting of innocent civilians.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>The world is saying, &#8220;Wait a minute. They\u2019re driving around in ambulances. They\u2019re launching missiles out of homes.&#8221; Terrorist tactics are being widely disseminated here and widely seen for what they are. One of the rules of war you mentioned, Ned, hiding is illegal. You\u2019re not allowed to hide amongst civilians and this sort of thing, and they\u2019re doing it and they\u2019re being called on it, and the Israelis are being the Israelis that we\u2019ve always known they are. When they find out where these people are they\u2019re going and getting them and they\u2019ll deal with the PR fallout that they\u2019re killing innocent civilians because they know what they\u2019re doing, and they know who they\u2019re targeting and they know who they\u2019re killing and it\u2019s by design. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>So this is a huge positive that\u2019s happening here, and people who said yesterday, &#8216;Wait a minute, give them a week? They\u2019ve gotta get this done in a week or it\u2019s a failure?\u2019 If Hezbollah survives, even with just a shell of its foreman self, if Israel doesn\u2019t totally wipe them out, why, it\u2019s considered a defeat for Israel. There have been people who move the goalposts that way, and it is seductive. In fact, it even drew me in, and I\u2019ll tell you why I fell for it, and I\u2019m embarrassed to admit that I did, but I fell for it on the basis that it\u2019s all PR. But the reality on the ground is how wars are won and lost. A lot of people are very concerned about the PR. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Well, Hezbollah can say they won when they lost,\u2019 just like the Democrats say it\u2019s a moral victory when they lose by four points in a Republican district. They run around saying, &#8216;Ah, the Republicans ought to be worried about this,\u2019 but they\u2019re still losing elections. Well, the <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Encouraging_Signs_in_Israeli-Hezbo_War_-07_25_07.Par.0012.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"130\" class=\"alignright\"\/> point here is: Israel is still winning this battle. The PR can say one thing, but this is an indication of just how much people get wrapped up in imagery and spin and PR and ignore the reality of things. I can cite countless examples of this throughout our culture, throughout our business world, throughout the media world. I\u2019m not going to name \u2019em, but I can\u2019t tell you the number of television and radio shows that in reality have no audience worth speaking of, but if you read certain media you\u2019d think they\u2019re the biggest things going, for a host of reasons. <\/p>\n<p>They survive on the buzz. They survive on buzz, but they\u2019re not really winning anything and they\u2019re not really earning a whole lot of money which is the definition of going into business, is one of the reasons you do it, but the spin, nevertheless, makes it look like they\u2019re hot, makes it look like they\u2019re huge, and this is what the terrorists have learned, be it Al-Qaeda or the Hezbos or whoever have learned about our media. They are caught up in spin; they have their own agendas; they do have an interest in the outcome of events; and if they can spin the outcome of an event into an alternative reality, they\u2019ll do so, such as they try it constantly with the US economy, talking about how rotten it is, soup line America. They\u2019re hell-bent on creating crisis after crisis after crisis. <\/p>\n<p>They want people in the throes of doom and gloom. They want people thinking pessimistically. Because when you\u2019re thinking pessimistically, you\u2019ll vote for change. And that\u2019s what this is all about. When you factor in Israel and the Hezbos, you factor in that there is a natural born hatred for Israel at the United Nations in much of the American left, by the way, and certainly in lots of western and eastern Europe. The Israelis don\u2019t play the PR game and a lot of people get frustrated by that. A lot of people get frustrated when a lot of their allies, friends, associates, don\u2019t respond to the PR game, and it boils down to what world do you want to live in. Do you want to live in the real world? <\/p>\n<p>When you win the war, you\u2019ve won it. You\u2019ve beat back the bad guys. You\u2019ve limited their ability or destroyed their ability to wage war on you, or do you want to win the PR war, where you don\u2019t really accomplish anything but the world loves you, and in this case for Israel, what it would require for the world to love them is to actually be marched into the Mediterranean Sea, which they know, but they\u2019re not going to fall for it. But a lot of people throughout our society in all levels of business, everywhere you go get sucked in by the notion of winning the spin, winning the PR battle. And in this case, the Israelis are eschewing that for substantive victory and substantive reality &#8212; and thank God for it. I think the people in life that you can trust and the people in life that you can count on, are the people who have both feet firmly planted in reality because all the rest are a bunch of phony baloney, plastic banana, good-time rock &#8216;n\u2019 rollers who can\u2019t stand the light of reality shining on them.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Encouraging_Signs_in_Israeli-Hezbo_War_-07_25_07.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Are you watching TV today?
