Nasrallah speech

I have been distracted from blogging: I have been watching a live transmission of Nasrallah's speech. It may be one of the most important in his career: more important than that famous speech in Bint Jubayl. He was responding to Israeli threats against Lebanon (I am sure that Western media will report it as "Nasrallah threatens Israel"), and gave detailed examples of responses to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, in terms of tit-for-tat. He gave the most detailed and rational analysis of the strategic weakness of the Israeli entity. The speech is addressed to the larger Arab/Muslim audiences, and also addressed to Israel.
