Israel’s War on Lebanon, Iran and Palestinians—Jim Kavanagh on PressTV

Press TV Discussion of Israeli Attack on Lebanon

Jim Kavanagh
Jim paints a bleak picture for the region as Israel, confident of extensive Western support—military, diplomatic, financial, and media.—especially by the US, the UK and much of the EU—goes all out to complete its long-held dream of a "Greater Israel" via the expulsion or extermination of Palestinians and any other population standing in its way. The choices facing the Resistance (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Hamas, the Palestinians, Hezbollah, the people of Lebanon, etc.) are grim, as full-on regional war could devastate the whole region, cost millions of lives, and possibly inflame WW3. The forceful and intelligent intervention in this conflict by new players—Turkey, Russia, China, etc.—may be the only hope for containing an even larger tragedy. Kavanagh warns that Israel has been preparing for a war with Iran for at least 15 years and that it may prove hard at this point to deter Tel Avid from its reckles course.
