UN Blames Hezbollah For Recent Skirmishes

From the UPI comes this story.

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- The U.N. Security Council has expressed deep concern about hostilities along the Blue Line between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon earlier in the week.

Look out!

We are at DEFCON: Deep Concern.

That's still a long way from DEFCON: Outrage.

In unusual specificity Wednesday, it said the Monday clashes "were initiated by Hezbollah from the Lebanese side, and which quickly spread along the entire Blue Line," and said it regretted the casualties on both sides.

Translation: Hezbollah is wrong (sort of). We are sorry. But we are powerless to do anything, because we are irrelevent and the world knows it. Not that we would want to do something, mind you.

Just once wouldn't you love to see the U.N. go to DEFCON: Condemnation or DEFCON: Sanctions, just to see what it's like?

They don't even put sanctions on Israel - so they are not gonna put sanctions on Hezbollah. I mean everyone knows the UN is biased against Jooos but they don't do anything.

unaha-closp,

I was not suggesting that the UN put sanctions on Hezbollah. They can't. Hezbollah is not a nation.

But my question was a rhetorical one about the lack of sanctions against nations that support them and other nations that cross the lines, doing other things worthy of them.

Too often the UN just doesn't do anything, about anything. If they don't even try, why have them?

And BTW it's Jews, not Jooos.
