We know Lenin’s phrase, apocryphal but so true: “There are decades when nothing happens and there are weeks when decades happen. »

In short, the free world, the real one, the one that extends from New York, Paris and Rome to the multitudes who, from Tehran to Ankara and from Moscow to Beijing and Kabul, cannot resign themselves to living under imbecile and bloodthirsty dictatorships. , breathe a little better and notice the signs of a possible change.
So obviously, nothing is decided.
Hezbollah still has tens of thousands of missiles aimed at Israel.
And History, as Marx said, and to keep us in the same metaphorical register, has more imagination than men; The “five kings” of Iran, Russia, the Islamist International, Turkey and China are by no means devoid of resources.
But the Israelis gave a lesson in determination and courage.
They have upset the peacemakers of Europe and America, who repeat like broken records “de-escalation! de-escalation!”, and forget that, according to all the theorists of just war, and after them, according to Clausewitz, There are states in the world in which escalation is unfortunately necessary.
And they remembered that there are times in history, when your survival (Israel) is at stake, when entire peoples (Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Kurds of Iraq and Syria) are kidnapped and threatened , where the engagement strategy is interpreted. by the enemy (formerly Nazi Germany, now Iran) as an invitation to strike harder, both within and without, so there are times when one of these Decisive acts, which cowards call “escalation,” can change the course of events. , redraw the map of powers and save lives.

For these reasons, Israel’s allies must respond urgently and help it not only defend itself, but win.
