Wasn’t Hezbollah’s main reasons to exist initially (and still) to (1) defend the interests of the downtrodden Shia Lebenese and (2) to defend southern Lebanon from Israeli incursion and theft of resources. And they have admirably succeeded in these roles over the past few decades?

Long indeed, and thank you. I find the first paragraph above interesting because it well describes how the Jews created for themselves – usually by confidential, high-level negotiations – an exceptional jurisdictional status, seemingly their quasi-genetic forte. There is no State of Israel, technically speaking, yet there is. The Palestinians, many (though not all) of whom have been there for a long time, do not belong because Israelis say so and, curiously, in over a century have failed to constitute themselves as a sovereign state.

As Wikipedia says: “Rothschild recognised that the overriding interest of the Jews of Palestine was the confidence and the friendship of their Arab neighbours. The interests of the Arab cultivators of the land he bought were never overlooked, but by development he made this land capable of maintaining a population ten times its former size.” Posted by: Jonathan W | Oct 29 2023 19:13 utc | 261 Edmund James de Rothschildt may have envisioned a different kind of Jewish homeland.
