UN BASICALLY DECLARES RESOLUTION 1559 (THE TERMS OF THE 2006 HIZBALLAH WAR CEASEFIRE) TO BE BROKEN

HAARETZ/DPA:

UN: Hezbollah has increased military strength since 2006 war

More than a year after the summer war in southern Lebanon ended, the United Nations said Wednesday the Hezbollah militia has "rebuilt and even increased its military capacity."

A report to the United Nations Security Council on progress to pacify southern Lebanon said Hezbollah's military strength is now comparable to the period before the July-August 2006 war with the Israeli Defence Forces, which ended with a council-ordered ceasefire.

The report said the findings about the situation in the region is "deeply disconcerting and stands in stark contradiction to the terms of Resolution 1559," which contains the ceasefire provisions. It called for disarming forces in southern Lebanon and for the UN peacekeeping operations and Lebanese army to monitor the ceasefire.

Under terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah has to be disarmed and transformed into a political party that would take part in political life in Lebanon.

• WHEN THE TERMS OF A CEASEFIRE ARE BROKEN THEN A STATE OF WAR AUTOMATICALLY REVERTS. IOW: BREAKING THE TERMS OF A CEASEFIRE IS A CASUS BELLI.
  

• IF THE UN AND THE LEBANESE ARMY WON'T DISARM HIZBALLAH, THEN ISRAEL SHOULD.

HERE'S HOW:

• GIVE THE UN AND LEBANON AND HIZBALLAH AN ULTIMATUM: 4 WEEKS TO VOLUNTARILY DISARM - AND FOR ANY AND ALL INNOCENT/UNARMED PEOPLE TO EVACUATE THE REGIONS HIZBALLAH CONTROLS.

• AND, IF HIZBALLAH IS NOT CERTIFIED AS ARMS FREE - WHICH IS WHAT UNSCR 1559 DEMANDED, THEN ISRAEL SHOULD TURN THE REGION UNDER CONTROL OF HIZBALLAH (AND EVACUATED OF UNARMED NON-COMBATANTS) INTO A PILE OF ASHEN DUST.

PEACE THROUGH VICTORY. END OF STORY.

PEACE IS NEVER THE RESULT OF A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT. IF IT WAS, THEN THE MIDDLE EAST WOULD BE THE MOST PEACEFUL PLACE ON EARTH.

(THE USA COULD AND SHOULD ISSUE THIS JOINT ULTIMATUM WITH ISRAEL. HIZBALLAH IS AN ENEMY OF LEBANON, ISRAEL, THE USA AND THE FREE WORLD. BY NULLIFYING THEM, WE DIMINISH THE THREAT POSED BY IRAN.)
