File under: Hezbollah

#1 "Nearly six months into the conflict, Israel is still finding it difficult to define when the Rubicon will be crossed — when it would have to move from harming strictly Hezbollah to the Lebanese state itself." I don't think that is true. Israel does not want a two front war for the moment. Once its success is achieved in Gaza it will turn on Lebanon. Plans are to demilitarize Lebanon south of the Litani River. The problem exists now as it has, what force can be employed to ensure that demilitarization, and will demilitarization necessitate depopulation?

#2 Lebanon harbors Hezbullah. They make all the obsequious noises about not being able to control them, but in the end, the state of Lebanon harbors them and can't claim ant indemnity.

#3 The USA stands with Israel. Let us know what you need and we will deliver.

#4 I am sorry, but I think you are much to optimistic. When Israel turns on Lebanon you will see Biden rush to support Hizbollah.
