If Israel was cynical, it would reach an agreement with Syria to divide Lebanon between them. Israel could drive out the Hezbollah Arabs south of the Litani and annex the part of south Lebanon up to the river. The Syrians can have the rest as compensation for the loss of the Golan Heights. And the Syrians could take care of Hezbollah better than a weak and powerless Lebanese government. If necessary, a state centered around east Beirut and Mt Lebanon can be created as a state for the Christian Arabs.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
