Israel believes Russia's intervention decreases chance of Israel-Hezbollah conflict

By YAAKOV LAPPIN

Russia’s intervention in Syria and close interaction with Hezbollah may actually decrease the likelihood of an Israel-Hezbollah conflict erupting in the near future, according to IDF assessments.

For example, dialogue between Russia and Hezbollah could provide an opportunity to rein in Hezbollah responses to reported Israeli air strikes on weapons-trafficking runs in Syria.

The assessments are part of a broader look at Israel’s strategic environment.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking the survival of a pro-Moscow regime in Syria where he also has an economic interest. Moscow also wants to keep Islamic State away from the country’s 20 million Russian- Muslim citizens.

Most likely because Hezbollah has lost 1/3 of their manpower in the killing fields of Syria...

Russia’s entry is good news and bad news. They’re helping to kill off the moderate beheaders and isis, but now you have Russia/Iran on Israel’s north border.

Apparently the Jerusalem post has never read Ezekiel 38 and 39.

What's more the Jerusalem post six days earlier wrote:

We are in fact marching towards Armageddon and just how late in the day it is till we actually get there is something understood by few Americans.

"Russia's intervention in Syria and close interaction with Hezbollah may actually decrease the likelihood of an Israel-Hezbollah conflict erupting in the near future, according to IDF assessments."

You mean like this: "Father,you were right it all works out, I guess God knows more about these things than we do, Somehow or other Cora payed with nick's life with hers and now I,m going to.

Father would you send up a prayer for me and Cora and if you can find it in your heart make it that we are together no matter where it is." -- John Garfield to a Roman Catholic priest in the Postman always rings twice - and so typical of the world which runs after a religion that for several hundred years killed the people God actually cares about and has their "flock" pray to Mary when in fact there is only one mediator between God and man and it isn't Mary:

For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: (2 Timothy 2:5) DRC - which incidentally is a Roman Catholic Bible.

Speaking of a Roman Catholic Bible, hear is a quote from the same Bible, the DRC: And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9)

I realize that what I said in my comment to which Trumpinator replied was, all things considered, deep but I stand by every single word in my comment:

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

There are somethings in the entire Bible which the "unlearned and unstable" wrest "unto their own destruction" (2 Peter 3:16)

No, I am not calling Trumpinator or for that matter mac_truck "unlearned or "unstable".

Yukon, I don’t know what you are on about - I merely corrected your statement - the Jerusalem Post is just reporting on an IDF assessment. So you should have said “maybe the IDF needs to read so and so Bible verse”. This was the IDF’s assessment not a Jerusalem Post editorial.

You don't know what I am on about? And merely told me what I should have said? You are priceless, you really are.

I stand by my statement - you mistook the IDF report as something the Jerusalem Post was editorializing on.

I know this is presently totally beyond you: but I am not really trying anything.

This is getting too much like a disagreement Barnabas and Paul had. So, I simply say believe what you like.

For he [Jesus Christ] new that for envy they had delivered him. (Matthew 27:8)

"There is nothing more evil than the hypocrite...The Bible says that they by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
(2 Corinthians 11:14)

Did you ever notice what I repeatedly use and you don't?

Hezbollah has long gotten the missiles they routinely fire at Israel from Iran via Syria. Hezbollah has been decimated in that war defending the criminal dynasty of the Assads.
