Resolution 1701 : what I think


OK I suppose you read and knew about the Resolution 1701 that made today's morning in the Security Council, if not well I recommend to go below this post and read the previous one to know what I am talking about.


First I would like to say that i never imagined that the Resolution would reach to this kind of comprise after this frustrating week from denial to the Lebanese 7 demands from the United States side and France who in the end decided to hold the stick from the middle and tried to fulfil some of the Lebanese demands. This change in the French stand came from the fear that it may lose Lebanon forever and by losing Lebanon France would have lost the last franc-phonic stronghold in the world and thus it would be another U.S weak alley ,not a strong power anymore


The Resolution in general is not bad , it is fair but not that fair ,because simply it ignored : the condemning Israel and the exchange of the P.O.W . or the Shabaa farms conditions at all .May be it was included in the 5th point which states the following:



"Also reiterates its strong support, as recalled in all its previous relevant resolutions, for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Lebanon within its internationally recognised borders, as contemplated by the Israeli-Lebanese General Armistice Agreement of 23 March 1949"



In 1949 Lebanon was having Shabaa's farms under its control. Syria took them from her in 1960s and then Israel occupied them in 1967 . But it still didn't provide a preferment solution to Shabaa's farms which are considered from the Lebanese territories . I will speak about it later


The Arab legitimate which travelled to New York that includes Amr Moses , the secretary general of Arab League and the foreign ministers of Both Qatar and Emirates criticised the resolution concerning those three points .


The Resolution spoke too much about the sovereignty of Lebanese government not in the matter of the respect of the other countries to this sovereignty and by this I mean Israel which always like to break down this sovereignty as frequent as flying in the skies of Beirut , they are speaking about it as if Hezbollah is against the sovereignty of the Lebanese government .Well Hezbollah is a member in the government and it is against the state in fact the party works with in the sovereignty of the Lebanese state .Last night after reading the resolution which Israel as usual came out as innocent as the wolf from the blood of Jacob's son ,the Israeli Envoy to UN and the British Foreign affair Minister made a huge attack on Hezbollah, blaming it for the war ,despite the fact what Hezbollah did was only a small operation with a definite objective !!


Already this resolution comes very very late , after a whole month of destruction to Lebanon , I don't know what is the use of it , I believe it will join the rest of UN resolution from 242 ,484........etc. Ironically the IAF made other raids and IDF went deeper in to the Lebanese land. Today also the anger reached to the Christians of Lebanon after the massacre of the people of Margeion


Olmert said that he approves the resolution but he will wait to Monday that is another 48 hours for the meeting of the cabinet after the weekend , with my all respect in civilised caring country cabinets usually work 24 /7 with no weekends what so ever in the time of wars !! I believe the Israeli cabinet is a civilised one and Olmert is just bluffing , this wicked politician ! I bet the cabinet is working now but they want more time before ceasing fire to achieve any kind of military victory


In the end the resolution is not bad and is not good , it could be better and it could be worst
