HEZBOLLAH HAS TO WONDER.. ARE THEY NEXT?

It's a fear Hezbollah leadership has wondered about for days and the reassurances from Tehran have done little to calm their fears.

If one buys the assumption of Israel neutralizing  Hamas' longer range missile threat  for the purposes of depleting Iranian proxy weapons, a theory ripe inside the ranks of Hezbollah, then the " are we next"  paranoia may be well founded.

Yes, Iran will try to some level to resupply the losses of Hamas, but Hamas has a new more perplexing issue to deal with at the moment.

You see, as the Hamas units were taking it on the chin, Abbas was waiting to come out of the conflict smelling like a rose.

Yes, Fatah stated they to fired rockets and missiles into Israel, but it was Abbas who took the " natural ground" and watched his nemesis Hamas take a pounding.

Now, Abbas gets to walk into the UN and present himself as a professional leader.

Is Hamas a hero organization after the latest round of fighting with Israel?

Yes, but only in the eyes of the Arab youth who still glorify conflict as some higher calling.

To those who would like to actually attempt to resolve the Palestinian Statehood issue, Abbas is still the only Palestinian game in town.

Abbas is going to look "stately" this week and Hezbollah is going to sit and wonder what other actions the Israelis are getting ready to take to insure things don't go Iran's way.

Remember... Perception is reality in the Middle East and the perception to many members of Hezbollah is... they are next.
