AL ARABIYA reports that Sunni extremists in the Muslim Brotherhood may have joined with Hezbollah in Lebanon to fight the Israelis. (Arabic here, English reference here.) I don’t know if it’s true. And if it is true the MB guys are almost certainly going to die. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it’s true. Israelis all but guaranteed severe political consequences as soon as they bombed Beirut. Lebanon’s sects are temporarily united in common defiance. It won’t last very long. But it will last until after a ceasefire, making a ceasefire on Israel’s terms instead of Hezbollah’s that much more difficult if the military campaign continues to look anything like a draw.
