I don’t have much respect for the Lebanese government, but i do for Hezbollah. We have to remember that these are two different entities, and i think that so far Hezbollah have played a very smart game, they have acted patiently and strategically and have carefully controlled the pace of escalation. They have caused huge problems for the Zionist entity in the north of occupied Palestine, and this simultaneously takes pressure off of Gaza as a lot of resources have to be devoted to the northern front now while at the same time creating a political conundrum for the Zionist regime as it is forced to pick between openly admitting to their humiliating defeat in Gaza or a worse and worse security situation in the north.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting to see some big, spectacular escalation by the Lebanese resistance but we have to ask ourselves whether we want that because it’s the strategically correct play to help Gaza and the Palestinian people or because we are impatient and have an emotional need for some kind of immediate catharsis.

Sometimes we have to have some humility and admit that maybe we don’t know what’s best because we aren’t there on the ground and should instead trust that the axis of resistance knows its own situation better than we ever could, they have experience fighting the Zionist entity and they know what they’re doing.
