Israel’s John Bolton
The BBC reports that Israeli border strike ‘kills 28’, eliminating the threat to Israel posed by Syrian Kurdish warehouse workers putting vegetables fruit on trucks.
Within the report we learn:
In his televised speech Sheikh Nasrallah also said Hezbollah would end its rocket attacks if Israel stopped attacking what he called civilian areas in Lebanon.
Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Dan Gillerman said that suggestion was “a sign of weakness” and that Hezbollah might be “looking for a way out”.
Dan, you are still an idiot and hanging around with Bolton doesn’t help. Hezbollah isn’t going anywhere; they’re home. Israel is the one who needs an exit strategy.
When Israel reduced its air raids, Hezbollah reduced its rocket attacks. When Israel went back to attacking Lebanon, Hezbollah redoubled its attacks. Hezbollah is the one that does what it says it will do: they have credibility.
A general note to Israeli spokeweasels: intelligent people have figured out that Hezbollah is spinning like crazy, but you have been outright lying. Back off and return to the highly distorted version of truth that is acceptable. Calling 14-year-olds “senior Hezbollah officials” isn’t going to cut it and you are on the verge of having killed more Hezbollah fighters than could exist.

Hezbollah might be “looking for a way out”. But isn’t that the desired point? If they’re ready to sit down and try to work it out… if they’re ready to make nice, that is what needs to be done. There is no way the Isrealies are going to get rid of Hezbollah, unless they kill off all the folks in the area… which will just create more Hezbollah members. Truly, you are right about Hezbollah being home and don’t need to look for a way out. They probably want to end the fighting, though, as too many of their countrymates are being obliterated.
The killing needs to stop. The rest can be worked out later, the killing needs to stop now.
