Subject: Re: Meanwhile, in Lebanon...

Getting rid of Hezbollah is one of those steps.

I think we can agree that shooting at Israel is counter productive, but so is Israel shooting at Lebanese, and Israel has been killing Lebanese since before Hezbollah was a thing. We old phartz remember when the IDF ran all the way into Beirut, then looked the other way, while a Christian militia went into two Pal neighborhoods, and killed everyone in sight.

Thing is, the only interested group that has a vote in the Israeli government is the zealots who want to ethnically cleanse every area they see, then fill it with Israeli settlements. That won't sit well with Lebanese, Christian, Shia, or Sunni. But the zealots can bring down "Bibi's" regime, by pulling their fringe party out of his coalition.

Remember the story of the Gordian knot?
