Israel controls not a millimeter of Lebanese territory and yet the world is essentially silent as Hezbollah rains intensifying fire on Northern Israel, which has already displaced whole communities for months on end. What other country would be expected to abide such a situation? Biden desperately wants to avoid a spreading conflagration, and Israel isn't interested in one either. And yet the prospect of a diplomatic solution is a fantasy; there have been supposed UN peacekeepers in S. Lebanon for decades, to no avail. Biden's strategy of simply abiding aggression after aggression against Israel -and U.S. interests- from Iranian proxies without permitting a forceful response, let alone participating in one, is feeding an increased likelihood of full war. A hand that reaches again and again where it should not will reach farther and farther if not given a hard smack - or severed. The threat from the North is significantly graver for Israel than the threat from Gaza at this point. Keep eyes to the North.
