Part 6/8:
In a pointed critique, General Keane questions the apparent absence of progressive voices regarding Israel's military stance. He argues that had Israel opted for restraint, the consequences could have been significant: Assad would remain in power, Hezbollah would continue its aggression, and Iran would maintain its militant influence in the region. His remarks suggest a sharp contrast between the actions taken by Israel and the criticisms levied by progressive groups, which may not fully recognize the geopolitical stakes involved.
