The Israelis have made ZERO effort to make peace with Hezbollah. Like it or not, they are Lebanon's de facto government, and they have the support of the people. And the more Israel attacks them, and the more Bibi talks about annexing them, the more solid that support becomes.
So it comes down to two stark choices: kill them all and take their country, or swallow hard and make peace in some fashion. It would also be good to cut Hezbollah's ties with Iran in some fashion. I don't know how that could be done except by force.
Ultimately, the three parties, Iran, Israel, and the US, all run by warmongering dictators who crazy-hate the other side, cannot reach a viable and lasting agreement, barring some miracle. It would be wonderful if some outside party could step in and somehow enact and enforce a trilateral agreement. But I don't see how that outside party could ever have the power to enforce it.
Somewhat ironically, perhaps, the one event that could bring at least a tentative peace to the Middle East would be the complete destruction of Israel. That would also close up the sinkhole into which we've been pouring billions of US taxpayer money. Like in this novel I vaguely recall, turning the entire Middle East into a radioactive wasteland that can't support human life for the next fifty years would also be a solution, albeit a wee bit drastic.
For literally my entire life, I've been reading and hearing about the various shit happening in the region that Kurt Vonnegut called "God's Monkey House," and I for one am horribly sick of it.
And I am sick of your twisted rhetoric.
