No ceasefire or effort to make peace can appease those who hate Jews and Israel.

You would have thought that an announced peace pathway between Lebanon and Israel would have been accepted universally outside of Tehran and Dahiyah in Beirut. You would be mistaken.

This disappointment with possible peace breaking out between Israel and its northern neighbor parallels the anger displayed by the same actors when Israel and Hamas in the south came to some type of ceasefire under the direct instructions of President Donald Trump. Normal Gazans ostensibly were happy that no more Israeli bombing was expected, and Israel was nominally happy that there was some type of end to military activity. But the blowhards on campus and in the lefty/Muslim blob in the West were angry. How dare they make a ceasefire! While they had been demanding this exact outcome in order to stop Israeli attacks against Hamas, once the ceasefire went into effect, they were disappointed and possibly furious. The simple explanation, one that they will never admit publicly, is that a ceasefire in the south and real peace in the north mean a) that Jews will stop dying by violent means, and that b) the state of Israel will continue to exist. These people were howling for Israel to stop bombing Hezbollah, to the point of accusing Israel of sabotaging the MOU between the US and Iran. Once a program was put in place to keep the IDF in Lebanon until the two countries can get rid of the Iranian proxy destroying the formerly beautiful........
