And I'm mentioning this because the Lebanese state, the prime minister I mentioned earlier, about what, a week ago, 10 days ago or so, said that he's hoping for a land for peace framework, which to me shows just how desperate even they are.
Like they don't know what to do.
They have no options in front of them.
So what they're hoping is that by doing all of these things, public declarations against Hezbollah, by declaring some of their activities illegal, by, I think like a few days ago, they said that the media cannot call them the resistance, for example, which is there in Arabic, how they would be referred to and so on and so forth.
These attempts to placate the Americans especially and so on, and maybe like show that, you know, we're doing something about this.
Can you stop the Israelis essentially?
haven't achieved anything.
The Israelis have just escalated, continued to escalate, continued to bomb more and more and more larger and larger parts of the country.
But that land for peace framework, which is the framework since the 60s, basically, is, as far as I can tell right now, the only thing that the Lebanese government hope that they can even use.
But the difficulty in all of that, like, A, I don't think it's realistic because of the Syrian example.
Like, they haven't, they have never given up
the Golden Heights.
I don't see any reason why they would, if they do decide to occupy all of South Lebanon.
And also because the shift, and this is what you were referring to with that quote, that person you mentioned, the shift in Israeli politics in the past few decades isn't even that, if you might call it strategic, that we're going to do the thing, even if it's illegal, we're going to occupy land, even if it's illegal, but it's sort of like the ultimate purpose of it is something that resembles some kind of diplomatic negotiation.
It's domination almost for its own sake.
There is no end goal necessarily.
You mentioned there are, of course, religious Zionists, but you also have others that are not interested in settlement.
They're just interested in destroying the land, like destroying, having this so-called buffer zone, which is a euphemism for just a no man's land.
It's just destroying everything.
And so the policy can shift in a sense, but the intention is to just try and dominate for as long as possible for its own sake.
