Subject: Re: Bibi and Hezbullah
Is Bibi escalating a war with Hezbullah in order to put a finger on the US election scales?

Almost certainly not. His decisions regarding Hezbollah are almost certainly being driven first and foremost by domestic considerations, both political and national security interests. Seems pretty unlikely that the potential impact on the U.S. elections would be anything more than an afterthought in those calculations, compared to the vastly more important direct effects of war with Lebanon would have on his (and Israel's) situation.
