I don't object to any country trying to call the shots--it stands to reason that any state would support its own self-interest.

But I submit that this attitude--refusing Indonesian, Malaysian troops etc.--is NOT in Israel's best interest. There will be troops from states which definitely have recognized Israel. They can monitor Indonesians etc.

Beggars can't be choosers--and at this point Israel is a beggar.

What Israel should want is a HUGE and powerful multinational force keeping the peace. The more troops between Hezbollah and Israel, the better for Israel--especially since the outbreak of war again will kill some of these troops. Israel claims it will not start such a war--so if Hezbollah does, all the world's outrage will be directed at Hezbollah. A far cry from the current situation.

What Israel and any of its supporters should want is this multinational force--from any country--doing all the fighting for Israel

Unless of course Israel, by raising obstacles, is actually trying to sabotage the process of setting up the multinational force on the border. If so, this verges on suicide. Israel may think that if the war resumes it can "finish the job"--eradicate Hezbollah. But that will never happen--much more likely would be a wider war---hurtling toward World War III.

I think Israel is going to see this. But maybe not.

The only people who would welcome it would be the idiot US " religious" zealots who can't wait for Armageddon.
