Conflicts of Interest: Is Israel Scaling Down in Gaza for War with Hezbollah?

1. If so, it makes one wonder whether Hezbollah ought to have attacked when Israel was bogged down with Hamas.

   I’m not saying I side with one side or another. This was a debate I saw online, as to whether Hezbollah would inevitably have to fight Israel. So, if a war does arise, events suggest it was indeed inevitable.

   1. As I've mentioned before, Hezbollah is using the attrition strategy, like the Russians in Ukraine. Biding their time, taking out the Israeli surveillance network, the Iron Dome positions, etc. and daily killing several Israeli soldiers, and forcing 100,000 Israelis to be put up in hotels at government expense, all this has caused enormous damage to Israel's defenses and economy, while minimizing their own casualties and that of Lebanese civilians and avoiding the geopolitical opprobrium for starting a major war.

      It's the same strategy Hamas is using and Hezbollah knows that, so Hezbollah has allowed Hamas to pursue its war first and resolved only to enter if Hamas looked likely to lose or Lebanon is directly threatened.

      Importantly, all the Palestinians are resolutely enduring Israel's attempt at genocide and willing to accept the casualties if in the end Israel loses. And the entire Axis of Resistance accepts that, too. This is the strategy developed by Qasem Soleimani over the last twenty years. And that strategy can't lose.

      If it was me, of course, I – meaning the entire Axis – would have bombed Israel out of existence before October 7. :-)

      1. Regarding the last paragraph, we’d run out of space from all the Holocaust II museums were that to happen.

2. Israel certainly knows how to tempt the fates, don’t they?… Rhetorically, speaking… Ahem.

3. This guy makes a living asking questions everyone already knows the answer to.

4. Netanyahu Is willing to engulf the whole world in totally destructive war.
