They call it falsely the United Nations Security Council. The big lie doesn’t stop here. They continue and say: the Security Council is the organ of the United Nations charged with maintaining peace and security among nations. After one month of dirty war on Lebanon and after the apparent policy of the United States and England against the cease fire and their pressure on other members, we, the people of Lebanon and Palestine at least, can say that the security council is an organ charged with maintaining war and security of Israel and it doesn’t give a damn about security of Lebanon or other countries in the region.
One can say: there’s at least finally a ceasefire. This means that the “destruction” and the “killing of civilians” will stop on both sides. This is another big lie. I want anybody who has a drop of objectivity to compare between the destruction of North Israel from one side and south Lebanon and South Beirut from the other side. From the beginning of the war 40 Israeli civilian were killed (17 of them were Arabs) and this is not because Hezbollah can’t kill more civilians. From 3000 rockets launched to Israel only about 500 directed to Israeli settlement and towns (according to Israeli sources) while the great majority fell on open areas. Hassan Nasrallah said in one of his speeches that he avoids targeting petrochemical industries in Haifa golf because he knows what for disasters it would cause to civilians. He knew that most the Jewish population of the north left to the hotels in the south and the center of Israel. Bombing some settlements on the north was mainly for warning and deterrence. While in this period Israel launched more than 12000 air strikes (again from Israeli sources) mainly on civilian houses and civilian infrastructure, this without counting the artillery and war ships shellings. More than 1000 civilians were killed and million were uprooted after there homes were destructed. Is there any comparison?? The Americans, Europeans, and others talked the whole time about the right of Israel for self defense. No one mentioned the right of Lebanon for self defense.
When I followed the Security Council debate about resolution 1701 last night I couldn’t believe my eyes and my ears. From where all this hypocrisy and heartlessness. Unbelievable. I remembered for a while the film “the accused” with Jodie Foster which I saw a few weeks ago on one of the satellite channels. What a horror, a woman repeatedly assaulted and raped and others stand to watch and cheer. For one whole long month Lebanon was raped from the sky, the sea and the ground every day, every hour and everyone can see that live on TV (the Israelis saw very little because Israeli TV’s didn’t show the whole scene, I think also the West showed very little, to judge from what I saw in the BBC and the Dutch TV). While all the respectable foreign ministers and representatives who talk before and after voting to the resolution without any opposition, cheered for Israel.
Anan started this orgy Condoleezza Rice and the French foreign minister continued. They talked about their worry to the security of Israel. And confirmed its right for self defense. In different words all of them made Hezbollah the main responsible. Even the idiotic Arab representative, who are supposed to represent the victim, the Qatari foreign minister, knew only how to praise the Americans and the French for their efforts, while criticizing Israel in abashed words.
After the voting, the foreign ministers or representatives of Greece, England, Denmark, China, Slovakia, Russia, Argentina, Japan, Tanzania, Peru and Ghana talked, all of them, even those who talked about the human suffering of the Lebanese people didn’t even mention one word of condemnation toward Israel, as if what happened in Lebanon was a natural disaster, a tsunami or earth quack. This was not a film like in the Accused (although the film was based on a real story) but happened in reality. like in the film, not only the rapers should be accused but also those who cheered
