Weekly Commentary: Israel Yields To Blackmail for Gaza Quiet - But Quiet Is
A Façade
Dr. Aaron Lerner 9 November, 2018

Just days after Israel Television Chanel 2 news featured a Gazan wounded in
the fence riots cursing Hamas for failing to honor their promise to pay
rioters for getting wounded, Israel facilitated a $15 million cash Qatari
pay-off in the desperate hope that this would insure quiet.

Yes. We are the ones who are desperately addicted to quiet.

Quiet in Gaza and quiet in Lebanon.

We ostensibly continue activity in Syria but we are so addicted to quiet in
Lebanon that we are now allowing Hezbollah to  upgrade their missiles in
Lebanon with kits that turn "statistical" missiles that randomly slam into
Israel into guided missiles with an accuracy that facilitates targeting any
facility or building they choose to destroy in the opening round of a war.

We know that the kits are in Lebanon.  We know that the equipment for
attaching the kits is in Lebanon.   Prime Minister Netanyahu even boasted
that we knew the locations of the upgrading facilities in Beirut when he
spoke at the UN.

Hezbollah subsequently moved the project to other locations inside Lebanon.

And we aren't doing anything.

Because we are addicted to quiet.

So "quiet" in Lebanon means Hezbollah is dramatically upgrading their
ability to harm the Jewish State.

And in Gaza?

The "quiet" we are addicted to doesn't just mean Hamas pouring many millions
of dollars into coming up with variants of the attack tunnels that our
gizmos can't detect.

There is an ongoing open program to develop bigger and better missiles.

And when one considers the relative size of the missile upgrade kits and the
precedent that we won't lift a finger against the kits in Lebanon, its only
a question of time before they are smuggled into Gaza.

The Gazans are investing heavily in unmanned airborne platforms that can
deliver bombs, etc.

And the Gazan armies openly train for war.

This is not the ragtag bunch of terrorists randomly firing AK-47's that we
faced years ago.

And there's a lot more going on.

There's every reason to believe that there are various 3-D printers as well
as the complete complement of computer driven metal working equipment.

These days instead of smuggling in a weapon you can send the SolidWorks
files.

And frankly speaking, given that our addiction to quiet allows the Hezbullah
missile upgrade in Lebanon, it could very well be that Israeli intelligence
is already aware of mind boggling weapons programs underway in Gaza that we
don't dare attack out of fear that this will undermine the quiet.
