Extracts:
  • Hezbollah ‘are the sons of these southern towns’

Mounir Shehadeh, a former Lebanese government coordinator for the UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL, says,
Quote
"Hezbollah is ready to implement UN Resolution 1701 for a ceasefire – provided that Israel does so"
"But Israel has no interest in implementing the resolution and it has been violating it since it was signed in 2006”

1. It is Hezbollah that has no interest in implementing the UN Resolution 1701
2. and it is Hezbolloh that has been violating the Resolution since it was signed in 2006
3. Hezbollah was to disarm as per the UN Resolution 1701 following the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah conflict
4. but 18 years on, Hezbollah has not disarmed....
5. raising concerns about the effectiveness of UN resolutions aimed at disarming terror outfits
6. UNIFIL didn't do their peace keeping job and we now have a full blown war
7. terrorists "Hezbollah “still feels like it has a seat at the table and could reach a negotiated settlement without total surrender”
8. Thanks! UN

Shehadeh added,

"Another stumbling block to a ceasefire is,
Quote
"many Hezbollah fighters come from the very villages Israel wants the group to vacate"

"Hezbollah fighters “are the sons of these southern towns” noted Shehadeh
“Someone who was born in these villages and grew up there – and their family is there and their interests are there –

how can they be asked to leave their village and head to the north of the Litani River?”

Sure thing Otherwise how can these terrorists fire their rockets, missiles etc. into Israel
