What part of "unconditional" don't they understand?
What part of "unconditional" don't they understand?
In language that could not be plainer, UN resolution 1559 calls for "the disbanding and disarmament of all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias." Which means you, Hizbullah. Of course, like much else about the United Nations (unofficial motto: "We're only one war away from being Zionist free!"), resolutions are plentiful, and real steps towards a lasting peace scarce on the ground. 1559 dates from almost exactly two years ago, September 2, 2004. And has been ignored by Lebanon and its puppet masters Iran and Syria.For good (bad, actually) measure, Lebanon has never recognized the State of Israel on its southern border, even six years after Israel unilaterally disengaged one hundred per cent from all Lebanese territory. Lebanon, whose government and people stood by and, choose your terms, allowed, encouraged, or just could not do a thing while Hizbullah used its territory to commit war crimes against Israeli civilians. Yes, war crimes -- what else to call crude missiles fired at civilians with virtually no guidance systems and packed with shrapnel whose sole purpose is to maximize casualties?Now, one of these Lebanese stooges has the temerity to demand that Lebanon won't participate in peace talks because "Israel must first fulfill UNSC resolution 1701 and end its embargo on Lebanon before we can talk about peace" (Jerusalem Post).Well, let's talk about 1701, the full text of which may be found here. The two things that leap out are these:
"...unconditional release of the abducted Israeli soldiers.""Full implementation of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords, and of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006), that require the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon."In other words, Lebanon, it's on you, with your "15,000 troops" to first do what was supposed to have been done before Hizbullah started the fight.Oh, and here's a little note for the Foreign Minister of Lebanon, who is the official quoted earlier: "unconditional" means without conditions. In simpler words, right now, nothing is required of Israel. Nothing. You don't need to discuss this with anyone. Except, of course, your Hizbullah, Syrian, and Iranian masters.But then, Lebanon would have to act like a real nation, and actually stand up on its hind legs. Instead of being Hizbullah's bitch.
