Weekly Commentary: Neutralize Hezbollah Now - Game Changer For Dealing
With Iran
Dr. Aaron Lerner December 11, 2021

The threat of a Hezbollah response to an attack destroying Iran's nuclear
program has now emerged as the key argument against pursuing such a military
operation

Those advocating complacence warn that Hezbollah's hundreds of thousands of
rockets, which now include a considerable number of guided missiles, would
cause considerable damage to Israel in a slugfest which could escalate into
a regional war that America most certainly doesn't want.

But the answer to this argument is not to light a candle and to pray that
the leaders of Iran do not really adhere to religious beliefs which see
mutual destruction as a gateway to their Paradise but instead to act now to
neutralize Hezbollah.

Yes. Neutralize Hezbollah now.

This isn't some unattainable goal.

We have spent a lot of money on preparations to do just this.

The IAF has done practice runs of the plans.

There apparently isn't any game changing gizmo in the pipeline being
delivered to the IDF in the next 12 months that justifies postponement until
then.

And since we would be initiating the attack rather than responding, even the
winter weather doesn't present much of an obstacle as we can wait for a
block of clear weather days.

There simply isn't any reason to wait.

Removing Hezbollah from the equation would dramatically shift the balance
against Iran by limiting their ability to retaliate.

Whether this development facilitates a diplomatic solution of the Iranian
nuclear challenge or a military one the end result would be a SOLUTION.

Neutralize Hezbollah now.
