Because then Israel will destroy an already destroyed Lebanese infrastructure/economy. Yeah doesn't make sense i know.
There is no reason for Hezbollah not to join now.
That's exactly what I have been saying. The Lebanese economy is in a ruin. Syria is destroyed. The historic Palestinian lands are either under occupation or open-prison. Iranians are being attacked by Israel with impunity.
The ONLY way Israel is going to ever rethink it's grand plans for a Lebensraum is by making it too costly to pursue those plans!! You know, India and Pakistan don't fight head-on anymore. Heck, even the Kargil War in 1999 was nothing as 'wars' go. Why? Because both know the 'costs' attached to any frontal, full-scale war in the future. Even without involving the nukes, both India and Pakistan would be sent back decades.
In contrast: Israel is a FIRST WORLD country. It can't take casualties. It can't take a flight of capital. It can't take loss of $$ because of airports shut down, tourism evaporating, even the implants from Europe packing up and leaving: Why be unsafe in a semi-arid environment when there is lush land in Eastern Europe??
If other forces don't join the fight and open other fronts against Israel, then expect this 'mowing the grass' to continue in Gaza, expect more land grab, expect expansions into Lebanon and total grab of the Golan Heights, and perhaps even the Sinai if/when the Israelis have enough people to settle and protect them.
So what have those other forces to lose??? Now is the time. If you have seen the history then you know there will be a repeat of the current mayhem in, say, 2025 when Israelis will be back to 'mowing the grass' in Gaza.
