MARK LEVIN (HOST): My recommendation to the Israelis, for what it's worth, fight hard, defeat the enemy or you will not survive. Keep your spirit and will to live, and reject our incompetent and defeatist ruling class here in America that seeks to devour own American patriotism and spirit. Do not allow the Biden regime with all its blood on its hands, and especially the anti-Semitic State Department, the American and European media propagandists, America's pro-Hamas Marxist professors and students with student organizations funded by Qatar and other Arab regimes and terrorist-supporting entities, and the Jew-hating wing of the Democrat Party -- don't let them dissuade you. Do whatever you need to do for your own survival.

There was a time when we in America understood this, and would do whatever we had to do to protect our own country, including in World War II, when Japan and Germany were obliterated. Nearly wiped off the face of the earth.

We were united. We loved our country. We intended to utterly destroy our enemies, and that is exactly what we did. Was that proportionate? Nobody asked and nobody cared. Did that violate the rules of war? What rules of war? Was Harry Truman a war criminal? Was Harry Truman a war criminal?

When we fought so-called proportionate wars, we lost in Vietnam and we lost over 58,000 men to Communist-controlled Vietnam. We lost Afghanistan. Now the Taliban controls Afghanistan after 21 years, and the deaths and the horrendous industries -- and the casualties are obvious, all around us every day. In Iraq, we lost many men in Iraq due to the Iranian regime that just received $6,000,000,000, and many were horrendously wounded. That's now controlled by Iran. Did you know that? We in America have lost too many of our warriors and spilled too much blood fighting proportionate wars. The Israelis have no choice but to fight, or die.
