Signs Editorial:

Israel Must concede

Professor Sattar Kassem

I know that the title is offending for Israel that has been all the time reminding everybody in the area of its uncontested strength. Things have changed, and Israel has no chance to win the war against Hizballah, and it is to the best of its interest to stop its attacks and resort to prisoner exchange negotiations. Hizballah is well-organized, well-disciplined, well-equipped, and, above all, strictly and willingly devoted.

Israel, taken by the conclusions of previous wars against the Arabs, thought that Hizballah will be swallowed, although with more difficulty. It has been taken by its muscles at the expense of its brains. Hizballah is different because it has been scientifically planning on logical strategic basis.

From the very beginning, Israeli politicians and generals appeared nervous, loosing their brains and unable to control their tongues. But Hizballah politicians appeared calm, specific and clear in their demands. That was an indication of IsraelÂ’s inability to see what is hidden, and of HizballahÂ’s confidence in the future.

Depending on my studies of the situation, Hizballah has been waiting the moment of confrontation with the Israeli horns. Hizballah has been interested in teaching his internal opponents and the Arab regimes a lesson through a successful confrontation with Israel. As Hizballah preparations vivid in mind, Israel can inflict so much destruction and killing against Lebanese installations and civilians, but it will not defeat or cripple Hizballah.

Hizballah will emerge stronger on the Arab level, will gain more popular support, and will pose a real threat to the Arab regimes. Israel will feel sorry for its military adventure. I am ready to bid on that.

From now until then, I advice Israel to stop its destructive attacks because HizballahÂ’s military organization has taken the damage of the Lebanese infrastructure into consideration.
