The conflict is coming to where it belongs, the U.S.
It goes against our “moral” and democratic claim that we oppose colonialism and believe in the self-determination of people. It goes against our material interest, in stability and trade. Supporting Israel has required massive expenditure of arms and diplomatic capital and belligerence that I don’t care how cynical or leftwing you are, do not serve any notion of imperial interest. Truman’s secretary of state threatened to resign if Truman recognized Israel, saying it would plunge the Middle East into turmoil for decades to come; and now Biden assumes the Truman role and says, Oh, let the decades of unrest continue.

Soviet Jews "Stand With Israel Forever"
This is what happens when a whole group of people gets converted to ethno-nationalism, which has become a kind of secular religion for them — a belief system predicated on messianic ethnic cleansing and blood-and-soil thinking. Most of my old Soviet immigrant friends aren’t religious, but Zionism fills in that gap for them.

Nasrallah's speech last week can be understood as an announcement of such a step:
My last message will be for the Israelis themselves. I tell them this: you know well, in your heart of hearts, whether it is based on your religious texts or doctrines, on your books or your prophecies, and also based on what some of your leaders and experts say, and also some of your religious authorities, you know (very well) that this entity (Israel) has no future, that it is on the verge of extinction and that it has little time left to live, very little time. Therefore, in this battle you are wasting your energy, and your young people are wasting their youth and their blood, in vain and to no avail.
...
We believe in this near future (where Israel won’t exist anymore), we believe in it very firmly, and this faith is not based only on religious and ideological bases, but is based (above all) on the data, on the events which occur, especially on those of the last decades, the last years and on what will happen (soon) in this regio
