All these Arabic-speaking pundits (including #Iran regime loyalists) who take deep dives into Israeli politics to explain the mechanics of Israeli decision-making, argue that #Israel PM can do this and this, but not that or that, otherwise his cabinet might collapse, NEVER notice the irony that their own Arab leadership of Hezbollah, Hamas, PA are not accountable to them or to anyone.
Nasrallah does not have to worry about what the Lebanese think or not. He rules Lebanon with his speeches broadcast from his bunker hideout, and take Lebanon to war at will. The Lebanese learn about their fate by watching TV, like everybody else, and there is nothing they can do about it. And yet, they blame "Israel's far right and the radicalism of Netanyahu" for war in Gaza.
Khamenei describes any dissent as paid-off Western instigation. Palestinian Abbas is 20 years into his four year term. Sinwar surprised both Israel and Gazans when he took everyone to hell. If Hamas leadership had any concern over what Gazans want, it'd have surrendered, yesterday.
Who's more trigger-happy then? An accountable Israeli government that understands the cost of losing 230 troops, watching the economy contract by 20 percent, but must do what its citizens expect it to do (protect them)? Or death cult militias like Hezbollah and Hamas who tell Lebanese and Palestinians that the yardstick of policy-making is martyrdom and eternal life?
