Now that the news of Nasrallah death broke. I don't see how they can recover from that, he was literally the commander in Chief who they all rallied behind.
They would suffer retaliation from the United States and other western Isreali allies.
They are the single biggest deterrent, for any action like that happening
How long can they use the US support as an excuse when they are being killed and attacked regardless? The zionists are gearing up to carve out "greater israel". They are already talking about invading/annexing southern lebanon, which is the hezbollah/shia heartland. They shouldve fought long ago when they invaded Gaza, public support for a war for israel in the west is at historical lows.
They will be attacked by israel with western support as they have been doing in Gaza all the same.
The greater Israel project is simply a plan for Israel to formally annex as much land from its neighbors as possible - while implementing genocides of Muslim and Christian populations in these lands to make room for future Jewish settlement.
Although the project is one of conquest, Israeli conquerors are different from others in their heavy dependence on shameless forms of deception.
Thus, to give Israelis plausible deniability, their conquest is to be carried out in a gradual fashion.
Thus, when speaking in front of non-Jews, Israeli carefully avoid speaking about annexing vast amounts of land. Rather, Israelis talk about annexing one bit (e.g., Golan Heights), then a second bit (e.g., Gaza), then a third bit (e.g., West Bank), then a fourth bit (e.g., Southern Lebanon) - and so on.
Whenever anyone points out the broader pattern of conquest, Israelis pretend that they are content with the smaller amounts of land they have already annexed or are on the verge of annexing.
Even more bizarre, Israelis also pretend that their annexations are actually a form of "self-defense" against another "Holocaust."
Thus, Israelis claim that they must annex Gaza or Syria or even Saudi Arabia and Egypt because all Arabs or Muslims are taught that they have a religious obligation to carry out a Holocaust by "killing all Jews in the world" through jihad. Needless to say, this is an absurd lie about Islamic teachings. But to the Israeli mind it justifies preemptively genociding all Arabs and Muslims in self -defense.
Interestingly, this idea of preemptively killing others to prevent a potential threat comes from Talmud (i.e., the "rodef" doctrine). So here we have a situation where Israelis lie to themselves and brainwash their children about a non-existent Islamic jihad commandment to kill all Jews. They then rise to kill Muslims first based on Talmudic teachings as a matter of self-defense. In doing so, they employ a conquering army which they deceptively name the "Israeli Defense Force" - acting as if the aim of the army is simply "self-defense" rather than constant conquest and annexation.
The ideal of greater Israel is to annex everything between Nile and Euphrates.
But depending on what circumstances allow (e.g., US assistance, the strength of adversaries) Israel will annex less or more than this.
The greater Israel project has made enormous progress in the past two decades.
During this period, countries in the region opposed to Israel have had their leaders assassinated, and have been severely weakened by sanctions and carefully engineered civil wars (e.g., Iraq, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen).
As noted by US general Wesley Clark, explicit plans for the destruction of these countries were adopted by the military after 9/11. This was achieved through the influence of the Israel lobby and its Jewish neocon operatives inside the US government.
In just the past decade, Israel has undertaken a genocide in Gaza. It has also initiated genocides in the West Bank and Lebanon, with the aim of annexing these lands.
Additionally, Israel has already annexed Syria's Golan heights, while high officials (like Bezalel Smotrich) have gone on record as saying they will soon take the rest of Syria including Damascus.
Anyone who mentions these basic facts is accused of spreading an "antisemitic" "conspiracy theory".
Any social media account which shares these facts is either immediately removed, or has its reach severely limited, so as to prevent the spread of "antisemitism" and "conspiracy theories."
