BY: Andrew Kugle, Washington Free Beacon, October 26, 2018:

President Donald Trump signed legislation on Thursday that imposes new sanctions against Hezbollah, an Iranian backed terror group.

“Over the past year we have levied the highest sanctions ever imposed on Hezbollah in a single year, by far. Just a few moments ago, I signed legislation imposing even more hard-hitting sanctions on Hezbollah to further starve them of their funds. And they are starving for them,” Trump said during his remarks marking the 35th anniversary of the attack on U.S. servicemen in Beirut.

The Hizballah International Financing Prevention Amendments Act, enacts further sanctions against the terror group and strengthens reporting requirements. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.).

“We will target, disrupt, and dismantle their operational and financing networks of which they had plenty,” Trump said. “We will never forget what they did to our great Marines in Beirut.”

Hezbollah was behind the bombing the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon where 241 American service members were killed in 1983.

In his remarks, Trump noted how Iran was critical in Hezbollah’s creation.

“The attack was carried out by Hezbollah, which Iran was instrumental in founding a year earlier to advance its radical agenda, and remain its main patron today. And we are doing a big number on Iran today, in case you haven’t noticed,” Trump said.

The president added how the sanctions are part of a larger strategy in countering Iran as the country is the leading sponsor of terrorism in the world.

“That is one reason why last year I withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear disaster. On November 5, all U.S. sanctions against Iran lifted by the nuclear deal will be back in full force — every sanction that we had on there originally, which would have — if they would have just left it a little bit longer, it would have been so much easier than what we’ve been through over the last number of years,” Trump said. “All they had to do was leave it the way it was. It was eating them away. But we’ve started it all over again, and it will be just as good. Wasted time — and lives, unfortunately. And they will be followed up with even more sanctions to address the full range of Iran’s malign conduct.”

Rubio released a statement that praised Trump’s comments and urged the administration to continue putting pressure on Iran.

“As Beirut Marine families seek justice in U.S. courts against those responsible for this heinous attack, I urge the Administration, through the Solicitor General, to tell the U.S. Supreme Court that it opposes the Iranian terrorist regime’s request to overturn a federal appeals court decision preventing $1.7 billion in frozen assets from returning to the Central Bank of Iran,” the statement reads.

This is definitely great news and a step in the right direction. Hopefully Trump will see the thread connecting Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood organizations within western nations who rally for these terrorist groups.

These anti-Israel/US, pro-Palestinian groups are themselves terrorist organizations on our soil which pose as ‘human rights’ groups but they are the same enemy we’re fighting overseas.

I would prefer if Trump just carpet-bombed all Islamic terrorist organizations (for a start) but this is better than nothing and hopefully one day that will happen. Also people need to push Trump to designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

As I recall Ted Cruz wrote such a bill last year and Congress wanted to go ahead with it but it seemed to stop with Trump. I hope he signs it into law. It’s the most obvious thing to do because there are well over 31 Muslim Brotherhood front organizations like CAIR, ISNA, MAS, etc, working to destroy America from within, that is flatly stated in their own internal documents.

Hezbollah is an appendage of the odious, Islamic Jihad, albeit a powerful one. Trump’s sanctions will raise the blood pressure of the flaccid and gutless Western supporters of Islam’s Caliphate. Including the Democrats, the EU and the Globalists whose endeavor is the eradication of Western culture and politics.

President Trump, however, will never back down to the constant threats, fake-news propagated by the Democrats’ Fifth Column, the MSM or the homegrown, terror factions the MSM and its overlord, the Democrats overlook, nevertheless fully support financially.

Thankfully, today’s president who, unlike his predecessor, is patriotic, not a traitor to the American people and the Republic. Democrats are bent on tossing America under the bus, with the abettors such as Hezbollah and other Western allies of Jihad.

Absolutely. Satan’s war against the living God has been going on since Isaiah 14:12-14. The Devil declared he would be like the most High.

President Trump stated not too long ago that iran at one time was looking at the Mediterranean as to how much they can take and now, they have riots in their streets and their currency is hitting rock bottom and hizballah which are also starving fund wise. The POTUS come Nov 4th (I believe I have the date correct) will turn the screw some more to hurt them big time. They will eventually and very soon, pay a horrible price for the bombing that killed 220 Brave Marines, 18 Sailors and 3 Soldiers. Payback time and heavy duty Baba.

The President also should include sanctions, if not outright forfeiture, of funds from American taxpayers to Hamas, the PA and ANY Muslim terror group. No American funds should be going to these groups. Period.

Also, and in addition to these, Israel also needs to enforce its will over Gaza; pulling the electric power plug from Ashkelon into Gaza would be a good start

Trump is probably the best POTUS in history especially when the Demorats are now the most hostile and anti American in the history of my country.
