UN And Hezbollah: So Happy Together
Jed Babbin:
Here's the picture:
Meanwhile, terror apologists gnash their teeth over Israel's "murder" of UN observers. I mean, it's not like the UN should maybe avoid deploying right next to the enemy or anything.
Why anyone thinks deploying international UN troops to Lebanon is going to solve any of the problems that started this conflict is beyond me. Hezbollah is a terror group. They aggressively target Israeli military and civilian targets for attacks. Their stated purpose for existing is to end the existence of Israel, and when they started these most recent hostilities by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and then launching rocket attacks on northern Israeli civilian populations the Israeli Defense Forces occupied not one square inch of either Gaza or Lebanon.
If we send in international troops all those troops are going to do is defend Hezbollah from what they have coming to them from the Israelis. It is exactly what has happened time and again in the past. Some extremist Islamic group provokes Israel, Israel responds and then the UN steps in on the side of the extremists.
It's high time the extremists suffered the consequences that go along with their provocations.
..."Inside the Asylum," is a picture of a U.N. outpost on that border. The U.N. flag and the Hezbollah flag fly side by side. Observers told me the U.N. and Hezbollah personnel share water and telephones, and that the U.N. presence serves as a shield against Israeli strikes against the terrorists.
