Israels enemies are getting a boost from ISIS. Israel will probably end up doing the job the United States won’t do.

About to come at them from all sides it apoears. Looks like israel is about to face a big challenge to its existence.

Only thing holding its enemies back it the strength of israeli military. Does its enemies want to only poke or do they want all out war?

No doubt there are those that want all out war.

Really they are different, but for the two elements that matter the most to us - their views on The West, and their views on Israel. These groups tend to hate each other quite a lot, but are more than willing to drop their differences when it comes to harming us or Israel.

If it looked like Israel really was finally about to be defeated both militarily and economically while Obama dithered in plain sight, I would not be surprised to see Putin come to Israel military or weapon supplies rescue. This would be done by Putin as an exercise in spitefulness, contrariness and braggadocio to embarrass Obama The Weak, and to begin forming his exclusive, Russian version of NATO.

I love Kiryat Shmona.

I planted a lot of trees near there, which were later burned up by those stinking rockets.

I’m not sure Hezbollah has the capabilities it once had to get at Israel. I think its masters in Iran have it expending its men and resources in Syria fighting to preserve the Assad government against both the moderates and ISIS.

“I’m not sure Hezbollah has the capabilities it once had to get at Israel. I think its masters in Iran have it expending its men and resources in Syria fighting to preserve the Assad government against both the moderates and ISIS.”

That’s an interesting and probably correct comment, a slant on the situation in Lebanon that I hadn’t considered. Thanks for adding something new to my viewpoint.

It could explain why Hezbollah hasn’t gotten in on the attacks on Israel as they did the last time.
