Does Israel really have a monopoly on power? Don’t they have huge numbers of settler militia types out there attacking Palestinians and driving them from their lands?
It is the US that has the military power. Israel has already tried going into Lebanon before and failed, so I think if they do it they must be pretty confident that America will come to their aid.
As I understand it, some of the settlers have a little military training, but mostly they are as you would expect, very uneducated poor people from very remote places who don’t know anything else, and that’s on both sides of the borders. Too bad Israel has a far-right government in charge that won’t do anything to stop these illegal settlements. I hope they get thrown out in the next election.

There is zero hope the far right leadership gets voted out in any of the territory at issue except Israel, so that’s worth nurturing, not smothering in its crib.
Under Trump the US first the first time ever declared many of the settlements LEGAL. Just another of the ways Trump contradicted long-standing foreign policy.

They really really want to draw the US and Iran into it.
