Judenhass
If Hizballah is such a wonderful organization —and since it is a political party within Lebanese society— why aren’t they amenable to diplomatic persuasion? Why aren’t they responding to this situation through political means?
Because their kind of politics may be summed up in a single word —so much better, of course, in the original German: Judenhass.
They aren’t interested in the usual processes that characterize what we Americans think of as political partisanship: compromise, horse-trading, parliamentary manuevering, etc. That has never been their purpose or desire. All they live for is the destruction of the Zionist entity and the Jewish people.
This really isn’t politics by other means, as Clausewitz put it. This is the latest manifestation of generations of hatred that doesn’t seek to co-exist, but to annihilate. As such, I don’t think a “political solution” is worth a damn.
Fuck the Cedar Revolution if this is what comes of it.
