I simply don't see how this works.

The corollary is that nothing that Hezbollah might want would be acceptable to Israel, or any neutral observer, seems to me.

I've been giving a lot of thought lately to what Hezbollah or Hamas or the rest might want now. By "lately" I mean since Israel all but gave the Palestinians what they could reasonably expect to get out of any negotiation yet Hamas entered Israel and kidnapped people. I had been critical of Israel over the years because of the settlements. So they finally backed off from the settlements and did that get them any points? Don't think so. So what do they want now that is workable?

It's a terrible dilemma - do nothing and watch the war escalate at the expense of many civilians; escalate the war ourselves and get sucked into a futile conflict for decades; or look for some framework everyone will sign off on, where everyone has to make some compromises.

No perfect answers, no attractive answers, only difficult choices between unpalatable options.
