Israeli military casualty numbers in Lebanon ‘acceptable’ for Netanyahu: Analyst

Political risk analyst Elijah Magnier has said that Netanyahu has no intention of stopping the war in Lebanon since “in his mind, the number of casualties that his army is suffering is acceptable in comparison to what he’s achieving in Lebanon”.

Speaking to Al Jazeera from Brussels, he said that Netanyahu is no longer counting the casualties “because they are still acceptable in the military approach and he thinks it is not a high very number for him to change his mind”.

    I didn’t know Mr Magnier could read minds.

    Then, please tell us where Netanyahu is going to sleep tomorrow night, so Hezbollah can have roasted cockroach on the fire…

    Besides, if he really thinks that casualty numbers in Lebanon are ‘acceptable’, it’s good news because more are going to die.

    But do the families of the “soldiers” share the same opinion? I doubt it.
