I'm going to make a few points (factual) then summarise (opinion). I've actually made my points clear for those who bother to reflect.
- Israeli officials have publicly announced that they will use unprecedented weapons.
What do you in your wisdom surmise they may be? Is it hysterical to theorise?
- Israel has demonstrated that it will only restrain itself if the opposing side has a credible deterrence.
I use the example of Irans retaliatory response. This was unprecedented for 2 reasons:
- Israel ensures deterrence by moving up the escalation ladder in a disproportionate fashion. They did NOT retaliate at all.
- Israel and the US have been wanting to attack Iran and in fact destroy its military capabilities completely. They have been sabre-rattling for >20 years. Iran attacked Israel FIRST.
Summary
- unprecedented weapons may denote WMD. This is a logical stance, not hysterical.
- it is logical that Lebanon must have a credible deterrence in order to avoid the destruction of its civilian infrastructure as we have seen in Gaza.
Nothing worse than an uncle Tom. Very disappointed with the American negros. Note how it's always a negro they send to veto a UN resolution.
