Subject: RE: BS: Lebanon - Piece at last!
I wouldn't go holding your breath for the "usual terrorist" apologists BB. Besides we should both know by now that agreements entered into are only applicable to the side, who actually have respect for the rule of law and order. While Israel has implemented in full it's obligations under the UN brokered ceasefire agreement as defined by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
Just remind the apologists for terror what was involved, remembering of course that the resolution was approved by both the Lebanese and Israeli governments:
- The Resolution called for disarmament of Hezbollah; - For the withdrawal of Israel from Lebanon; - For the deployment of Lebanese soldiers in southern Lebanon; - For the deployment of an enlarged United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) force in southern Lebanon;
- Israel's blockade of Lebanon was lifted on 8th September 2006; - The Lebanese army began deploying in southern Lebanon on 17 August 2006; - Israeli troops withdrew from Lebanon 1st October 2006;
- Since the enactment of UNSCR 1701 both the Lebanese government and UNIFIL have stated that they will not disarm Hezbollah.
Enforcement of the UN embargo on supply of arms to militias operating in Lebanon has been totally ignored, by Lebanon, by Syria, by Iran and by the UN itself.
