Today's "We Are Fighting To Eliminate You" Watch (Part 86,285)

The BBC has this report on Hezbollah, which I predict will be studiously ignored, just as if it had never been uttered.

The leader of Lebanon’s Islamist Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, has said his group will never recognise Israel’s right to exist.

He was responding to a US suggestion that both Hezbollah and the Palestinian faction Hamas should recognise Israel before expecting any US engagement.

“We reject the American conditions,” he said. “As long as Hezbollah exists, it will never recognise Israel.”

My guess? The Bearded One will get away with it. And oh, about Hezbollah’s pledge to destroy Israel? He never said it, and if he said it the sophisticates will never believe it; and even if they believe it they won’t consider that it matters. What matters is the illusion of the peace process. That must be kept going at all events. Even if Hezbollah declares itself out, they will always find a way to deal it in.
