Subject: RE: BS: Israel condemned by UN
8. Calls for Israel and Lebanon to support a permanent ceasefire and a longterm solution based on the following principles and elements:
...
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, so that, pursuant to the Lebanese cabinet decision of 27 July 2006, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State;


So Israel, in disarming Hezboallah, is acting strictly in accord with UNSCR 1701. The alternative is to declare 1701 invalid, and resume open warfare. That seems to be what many here are saying should happen.
