Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki elucidates Hezbollah’s growing impotence in Southern Lebanon, unable to gather support for their rallies and having lost the ability to intimidate the public from openly voicing dissent. Wolicki ties this trend indicating Hezbollah’s loss of prestige and control in Southern Lebanon to Netanyahu’s call for Lebanese to recognize Israel’s war with Hezbollah is aligned with the Lebanese not against them. Will the Lebanese ever come to play a role in their own revival? Or will they continue to remain on the sidelines of history as their fate is decided by outside forces while they continue to look on without exerting any influence on the the shaping of their own future? Time will tell of course, but most acutely, what happens in Iran will have a significant effect on whether this trend of defiance in Lebanon is a momentary event, or an emerging reality.
