“The “there will there be a third Lebanon war” myth is now being peddled by former US ambassador to Tel Aviv, Daniel Kurtzer. Kurtzer’s latest wisdom would be outrageously funny if it wasn’t taken seriously in Washington. It includes the recommendation that there should be an “upgrade” in US and Israeli “intelligence exchanges” and that the United States “should study … the possibility of exploiting hostilities in Lebanon to launch a diplomatic initiative in the broader peace process.” The idea that peace prospects of the Middle East would improve if more Lebanese were slaughtered is close to obscene.”
