Unshakable Israeli military apparatus: A 'Thing Past'
Tehran, July 27, IRNA
Iran Daily-Editorial-Lebanon
IRNA's English language morning paper, the Iran daily, focussed on latest status of developments in Lebanon in its Thursday edition's editorial by Mahdi Armin, titled, 'Things Past'.
Out to subjugate Arab masses unwilling to submit to Israel's will, the latter is bent on ensuring that pain and agony become a permanent feature of Arab lands in its neighborhood. In the third week of its resistance against the US-backed Israelis, Hezbollah has fired more rockets on military and commercial centers across the Lebanese border, reads the editorial.
Haifa, Israel's third largest city is almost empty while fear and anger has gripped the towns of Karmiel and Nahariya.
Hezbollah leader, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and his dedicated fighters are maintaining their couth and have demonstrated against heavy odds that they are a force to reckon with.
Tel Aviv and Washington have been taken off-guard with the power and ability of Hezbollah to engage one of the world's most feared militaries and inflict heavy casualties on the armed-to-the-teeth enemy.
At a time when Hezbollah has shown only a part of its military prowess in confronting Tel Aviv's deadly military machine, Zionist premier, Ehud Olmert and Shimon Perez are showing signs of frustration and possibly fear.
Reports say to help end the crisis, while Olmert and his generals have appealed for help from George Bush, Tony Blair and European governments who of course are well versed in the power and influence of Zionist lobbies across the western hemisphere.
Crisis management demands two things: identifying and analyzing the enemy's attitude, and responding to it comprehensively. Hezbollah has performed efficiently in both cases.
Unlike Tel Aviv, which has started a dangerous war and save for nuclear weapons used all its offensive military might, Hezbollah has made known only a part of its ability, and yet managed to cripple the Zionists.
The importance of the highly disciplined group's approach and battle plans becomes evident when we understand the general atmosphere in which it must function. International bodies and the major Arab powers have been reduced to impotency and are all but relevant. In other words, Hezbollah is fighting for the Arab cause all alone and is denied meaningful support from the outside world.
Israel's bankrollers in Washington, Berlin, Paris and London, only to name a few, are working hard for disarming Hezbollah sooner rather than later and pushing it further away from southern Lebanon and 'the border' with Israel.
Hezbollah is managing its defenses to the best of its ability in the unfair and unjust military conflict with the Zionist enemy.
Israeli politicians and preachers had declared that the formidable Israeli Defense Force would "finish the job" and Nasrallah's fighters in three days!
That was indeed not a very intelligent prediction. Time is not on Israel's side and it desperately wants Uncle Sam to come to its rescue. On the other side, the US military and comic book diplomacy have been overstretched as things are going from bad to worse for the ill-advised US foreign policy.
Informed world public opinion and an increasing number of Americans now see the folly and failures of their president long on a moral and mental vacation.
Israelis now hope that a ceasefire would be established soon and they would be rid, at least for now, of Hezbollah's fierce resistance.
Even if a ceasefire takes hold, few doubt Israel will be able to bully and intimidate the popular resistance group again. Colossal damage has been done to the Zionists and Hezbollah says the worse is still to come.
The 'reverse immigration' of Jews to Europe has begun and many illegal Jewish settlements have been evacuated. Hezbollah has targeted Israel's military centers and other important sites.
For all practical purposes the once strong belief that the US-armed and financed Israeli military apparatus is unshakable and invincible is a thing of the past.
