UNIFIL’s True Colors: Yellow and Green

From tomb raider to coffin saluter:

U.N. soldiers salute as a tractor-trailer loaded with coffins of nearly 200 Lebanese and Palestinian fighters and bearing the picture of slain Hezbollah top leader Imad Mughniyeh, right, arrives in the southern city of Tyre, Lebanon, Thursday, July 17, 2008. Eight tractor-trailers loaded with coffins are driving from south Lebanon to Beirut a day after a prisoner swap between Israel and Lebanon.

It is one thing to be utterly incompetent. It is another to be siding with evil.

Either way, agreeing to UN Resolution 1701 was clearly yet another of Israel’s huge mistakes.

  1. Would it be inappropriate to cite the phrase “not being part of the solution means being part of the problem” when referring to the fact that the Israeli public doesn’t seem to be doing much to promote the exit of the Olmert government?

    Sure, the Olmert government finds novel, previously unthought-of ways to endanger Israel nearly every day, but what is the Israeli public doing to stop it? I understand that a few protests were held following the Lebanon War, but clearly this government needs more than intermittant protest to begin packing its bags.

    And it seems not enought to say that Olmert simply doesn’t listen to the public anyway, because the government and the country BELONG to the citizens, and it is the citzens’ job to MAKE Olmert listen, or, failing that, to MAKE HIM DISAPPEAR.
