"Where is the victory? How much did it cost? What defeat is more terrible than such losses? How can one claim victory in the face of a massacre that has destroyed all the logic of resistance? It's not too late to ask Hezbollah to explain its unilateral and deadly decision to open the confrontation [with Israel] under Iran's cover." — Nabil Bou Monsef, prominent Lebanese journalist, kataeb.org, November 27, 2024.
Over the past 14 months, Hamas and Hezbollah have dragged the Palestinians and Lebanese into wars that have claimed the lives of thousands of people -- all to serve their patrons in Iran.

Hamas and Hezbollah do what Iran wants in the same way that our senators do what China wants.

'Our losses are tactical, our enemy's losses are strategic, and victory is coming..' Has this Mashaal guy considered a career as a pollster for the Democrats? He will do well.

When you lie down with Dogs, you often end up with fleas, Asshat. The Lebanese and the Palestinians have exactly what they deserve! IMHO, not nearly enough have bought the farm!

And all of this slaughter is on the hands of Joe Biden and Barrack Obama who supplied Iran with the money to pay for it.
Hizballah and Hamas haven't changed they just see a new President and want to lay low for 4 years.

Of course they still love Hamas and Hezbollah. Silly headline.
If they didn't then Hamas would've been over thrown by the regular Gazan people and Hezbollah wouldn't still be there hiding among the Lebanese.
This is just wishful thinking and a demonstration of fantastical ignorance of how Islam works.

We could have nuked them back to the Stone Age on the afternoon of 9/11/2001 when we had the chance. But no ... that would be like bombing really high buildings in their largest city, possibly killing 3 or 4 thousand innocent people. Instead, those thousands were cheering the NYC bombing and passing out candy to children.

"The good news is that many Arabs are evidently aware of the lies and deceptions of Hamas and Hezbollah."
IF TRUE, this WOULD be good news. If they are aware of this, will they kick out Hamas and Hezbollah and seek a lasting peace. Many Arabs are deeply indoctrinated against Israel and even if they reject Hamas and Hezbollah, will they simply turn to someone else who promises to defeat Israel? Or will this be a Arab lull in the face of an overwhelming force to last only as long as it takes to rebuild an Islamic attack force?
Israel and the US need to demand stern conditions to peace. Unconditional surrender. The return of hostages. The removal of Hamas and potentially Hezbollah. Certifiable inspections that no new weapons or tunnels are being set up. And more ... Our tolerance for violations should be low and reaction to them swift and harsh.
And of course, the terror leader, Iran, needs to be brought to heel. The best way would be to cut off ALL their terror arms and support opposition groups in Iran to overthrow the mullahs. Eliminate their nuclear program and get verifiable proof that it does NOT restart. Crush them with sanctions and blocked trade until they capitulate.

And if any Palestinians/Arabs don't give full support, Hamas and Hezbollah will "persuade" them to.

So the message of hate, death and doom isn't selling as well these days? Gee, whatever could have caused that? Perhaps all the dead bodies and piles of rubble that it has caused?

Most of the rest of us never believed Hamas or Hezbollah, not for an instant.
For people whose religion rewards them for lying to "infidels", that was our only choice.
