"It Appears War is Here:" Israel May Be Preparing for Ground Invasion of Hezballah's Strongholds in Southern LebanonBefore that: The comms bombs, the Beep Beep Booms, are hitting Hezballah where it hurts: in their bad-seed groins. Paging all terrorists! L-O-L. What a bunch of dickless buffoons. Israel's cabinet approves sending an elite force north to the southern Lebannon border. As many suspected and feared, this deadly two-day Israeli covert operation to blow up Hezbollah pagers, walkie-talkies, and small electronic devices was but preparation for a likely Israeli military ground operation in southern Lebanon. It appears war is here. According to breaking news wires:Israeli cabinet has given PM Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant the authorization to undertake military action against Hezbollah -- even if it leads to an all-out war. Southern Lebanon is dominated by Hezballah. It's almost a separate province of Lebanon. It's a poor area of the country. The rest of Lebanon has to send it aid. Of course, this aid is not marked as coming from the Lebanese government nor the various sectarian factions that are kind enough to provide charity to their poor southern cousins. This aid is re-boxed into crates stamped "Hezballah" and distributed from Hezballah-marked relief centers. So the poor, backwards population thinks that Hezballah is providing the charity. You know, I imagine, that Hamas does the same thing with UN-provided aid in Gaza. As far as the Gazans know, what little charitable aide that gets distributed their (the fraction which isn't seized by Hamas itself) is provided by Hamas. Based on my limited knowledge -- just a week-long junket meeting Lebanese politicians -- Hezballah is not well-liked in Lebanon, except in the south. Hezballah participates in violence against other factions in Lebanon, and of course they periodically start wars with Israel, which then causes the rest of Lebanon to come under counter-fire. I've asked why the rest of Lebanon just doesn't declare southern Lebanon its own country and let them fuck off. The answer I got is something like: Although Hezballah is a violent, backwards, trouble-making part of the Lebanese family, they're still part of the Lebanese family, even if they occasionally shoot up the rest of the family and drag the rest of the family into their endless wars. I really wish Lebanon would declare itself independent and separate from southern Lebanon. There are multiple Christian factions, a Druze faction, and a Sunni Muslim faction in the north, and they all manage to get along relatively well. Yes, there are ethnic tensions -- it turns out that America is not the only country in the world where differing racial and religious factions experience tensions and stress between them -- but they generally get along without too much strife. On the other hand, there is the Hezballah-controlled south, which is an armed camp funded by Iran for all practical purposes.
