In the year 2006 Israel went to war with Hezbollah to stop their incursions into their country.  After a brief but intense conflict that lasted a month, a UN brokered cease-fire known as Resolution 1701 was declared and Israel proceeded to withdraw their forces under the condition that Hezbollah withdraw from Southern Lebanon in order to ensure that Israel would be out of range of their rockets.  It was the duty of the UN to ensure that Resolution 1701 was enforced & that personnel be left be hind to see to this task.  This was done and that Southern Lebanon become fully de-militarized, but this has not been done.

In 2018, representatives from UN Watch joined teams on the ground and observed as the IDF was proceeding to destroy four terror tunnels leading from Southern Lebanon into Israel, in flagrant violation of UN Resolution 1701.  The Tunnels that were found were even more sophisticated then the extensive tunnels used by Hamas to invade Israel on Oct. 7th.  2023.  Whereas the Hamas Tunnels only go through sand & dirt, the Hezbollah tunnels must go through rock, requiring significant finances & careful planning, all of which has been supplied to Hezbollah by Iran.  Making matters worse, the entrance to one of these tunnels was found in the home of a Lebanese civilian who either willingly agreed to assist Hezbollah, or was forced by the terrorist group to allow them to dig their tunnel under his home.  It was the duty of UNIFIL to ensure that these tunnels were never dug in the first place, yet it was revealed six years ago that the UNIFIL was not doing their duty, and yet nothing was done about it.
 
Now, six years later, Israel is taking heat worldwide for going into Southern Lebanon once again to oust Hezbollah from the region.  This is despite the fact that Hezbollah began carrying out rocket attacks against Northern Israeli communities immediately after the Oct. 7th attack, killing over 50 people, damaging over 1000 homes, & forcing the evacuation of over 60,000 Israel citizens.  As the Israeli forces advanced Prime Minister Netanyahu advised the UNIFIL to withdraw for their own safety, once again prompting condemnation from the International Community.  Yet within days of Netanyahu’s warning, IDF forces discovered a Hezbollah Terror Tunnel less than 200 meters from a UN Facility!

In a recent video the IDF is shown leading the Press around a UN facility in Lebanon overlooking Israel.  Less than 200 meters from this facility the IDF shows the Press a terror tunnel along with stockpiles of guns, anti-tank missiles, explosives, & combat uniforms, clearly illustrating that Hezbollah had been preparing an attack for quite some time.  It can take months, even years to dig out a terror tunnel in this terrain & it’s unfathomable that this was going on without the anyone at the nearby UN facility knowing about it.  Instead of condemning Israel for going into the region & advising UNIFIL personnel to get out of harms way, the International Community should be demanding a full investigation as to how the UNIFIL could have been allowing this to go on for so many years despite irrefutable proof that Hezbollah was highly active in the region despite the fact that it was a direct violation of UN Resolution 1701.  The fact that Hezbollah was doing this right next to a UN Facility not only shows that an investigation is an absolute necessity, but that Netanyahu should be praised for warning the UNIFIL ahead of the IDF entering the area.

Re a Palestinian Arab State: “So the question is, why is it so important that these particular Arabs, who have given the world so much — airline hijacking, suicide bombings with rat-poison laced shrapnel, the Qassam rocket — should have a state of their own? … They are mostly the descendents of Arabs from Syria and Egypt who moved to Palestine during the latter part of the 19th century and the Mandate period, mostly to take advantage of better economic conditions there — thanks to the Zionists — than in their homelands. In the years since 1948, and particularly since 1967, they have created a mythology of a ‘Palestinian’ civilization that extends back hundreds, indeed thousands, of years. But that’s what it is, a myth. ‘History’ invented from whole cloth.”(Daniel Greenfield “The Palestinian Muslim Money Hole”.)

“After all, distilled and in the eyes of the non-believer, Sharia law is nothing less than a legal system built atop the words and deeds of a 7th century Arab, whose behavior — from pedophilia and sex-slavery to war mongering and plundering — was very much that of a 7th century Arab. Having enticed or enslaved his contemporaries into following him, his teachings continue to entice and enslave their descendants; and, now as then, it is always the innocent who suffer.”(Raymond Ibrahim. July 21, 2011.)

“Well, a reader reminded me that there is something Muslims and the media like to call Islamophobia. In rebuttal, though, I pointed out that Islamists are ignorant, blood-thirsty cretins, and there is nothing irrational about being terrified of these sociopathic Neanderthals. They are creatures, barely human, after all, who have apparently decided that having explosives surgically implanted in their bodies is one swell way of expressing their religious faith.”(Burt Prelutsky, July 2011.)

Within less than a century, between 7 million and 10 million Balkan refugees have been uprooted from their homes. After WW2, between 12-16 million Germans were forced out of Sudentenland (Czechoslovakia), Romania, Hungary and Poland into Germany; many of them had not supported the Nazis during the war. 14 million people were exchanged between Hindu India and Moslem Pakistan. In 1994, 540,000 Moslems fled Christian Armenia for Azerbaijan and 360,000 Armenian Christians fled Azerbaijan for Armenia. As Israel did with the Jewish refugees from Arab countries, Armenia absorbed the Christian refugees, while — just like the Arab refugees from Israel — the Moslem refugees languish in Azerbaijani refugee camps. From the late ’80s on, 75,000 non-Moslem blacks from Mauritania were exiled to Senegal and Mali, while 75,000 Arabs fled to Mauritania. Ethnic conflicts in the Sudan continue — between Muslim Arabs and black animists in the South; and between Muslim Arabs and black Muslims in Darfur. 3 t0 4 million black farmers of Darfur have fled Arab-dominated Khartoum, where some 200,000 to 400,000 black Muslims have already been killed. Cyprus has been split between Christian Greeks and Moslem Turks; this included a population exchange, where 200,000 Greeks and 50,000 Turks were shifted. Even before Israel became a state and increasingly after that, more than 800,000 Jews were forced to flee the Arab countries, where many of them had lived way before the Arabs Conquest; most of them came to Israel. Starting even before the Arabs invaded Israel when it became a state in 1948, Arabs left to avoid the coming war. They fled in fear incited by their own press or were forced by their leaders to leave Israel. The Arabs claim 650,000-750,000 up to a million refugees, while the UN Acting Mediator in October, 1948 (unispal.un.org) set it at 472,000, of which 360,000 required aid (UNRWA is now supporting 4.5 million of their “descendants”.) Of all the refugees, only these Arabs have demanded the right of return.(Data mostly taken from Ben-Dror Yemini, MidEast Truth Forum, January 15, 2009.) See also the Addendum here.)

“By 1920 the Ottoman Empire had exercised undisputed sovereignty over Palestine for 400 years. In Article 95 of the treaty of Sevres, that sovereignty was transferred to England in trust for a national homeland for the jews. The local Arabs had never exercised sovereignty over Palestine and so they lost nothing. Their rights were fully protected by a provisio in the grant: ‘…it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine…’ The proviso has been fully observed by the Israelis. Since 1950 the Arabs have built some 261 new settlements in Judea and Samaria — more than twice as many as the Jews, but you never hear of them. They fill them with Arabs from Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan and by the grace of God they become Palestinians. Allahu Akbar! The Arabs call Judea “the West Bank’ because they would look silly claiming that Jews are illegally living in Judea.”
(Comment by Wallace Brand on Martin Peretz “Narrative Dissonance” The New Republic, July 1, 2009.)

“… during the late 1940s, more than 40 million refuges around the world were resettled, except for one people. They [Palestinian arabs] remain defined as refugees, wallowing 60 years later in 59 UNRWA refugee camps, financed by $400 million contributed annually by nations of the world to nurture the promise of the ‘right of return’ to Arab neighborhoods and Arab villages from 1948 that no longer exist.”(Noam Bedein, Jerusalem Post, January 6, 2009.)

“What is ironic is that Israel belongs exclusively to the Jews by International Law. (Google Think-Israel for articles by Howard Grief, Yoram Shifftan, Wallace Brand, for the legal basis of Israel’s ownership of Israel and the Territories.) So why do the Arabs insist the land is theirs? Because the Jews have been so crazy for peace, they have been willing to share, to give up pieces of their tiny country, for a piece of paper. The Arabs created a phony people in 1964, called the ‘Palestinians’ and blanketed the world with the mantra that they were the Palestinians and Palestine was theirs. There has not ever been a country or a state called Palestine. There have been Palestinians. During the time of the British Mandate — from 1922 to 1948 — the Jews called where they lived Palestine. They played music in the Palestine Philharmonic. They read the Palestine Post (now the Jerusalem Post.) As the Palestine Brigade, they fought in the British Army in World War 2. The Arabs also fought hard — for Hitler.”(Eliezar Edwards, December, 2008.)

“A Palestinian State? You want that? OK. BUT not in Israel. No way. Not now. Not ever. Put this Arab state in Dubai or Kuwait or Saudi Arabia or Libya or Syria. Make it big. Fill it with the Po’ Arab “refugees”. And with the Arabs of Gaza and Samaria and Judea (AKA West Bank). And treasonous Arabs who have Israeli citizenship. Build a big fence around it. Let them learn to develop the infrastructure of a state. Or let them destroy themselves, if that’s what they prefer. If they ever become civilized, then it’s time to consider letting them join the human race.”(Eliezar Edwards, August, 2008.)For an early excellent solution,read Eli E. Hertz, “The U.S. Congress in 1922,” here.

To Israeli Secularists: “You want a normal country, like everybody else? I will tell you how. Forget ads featuring bikini-clad hotsies. Forget promoting “alternative” life styles. The secret is to adopt the right attitude. A normal country doesn’t give up an inch of land that belongs to it. A normal country doesn’t let its citizens go hungry while it feeds its enemy and gives them medical care. A normal country doesn’t let foreigners take over its holy sites; Hebron, the Temple Mount, Joseph’s Tomb. Looking at what counts, it’s the religious Jews of Samaria and Judea and the Golan that are acting normal, not you.”(Eliezar Edwards, March 20, 2008.)

“It has no heart. It has no spine. Its mouth serves as its anus. It has a diffuse net of nerves instead of a brain. Is it a jelly fish or an Israeli politician? Pick one. Whichever one you picked, you were right.” (Eliezar Edwards, June 20, 2005.)

The total for all the 22 Arab League countries is 6,145,389 square miles (SM). By comparison, all 50 states of the United States have a total of 3,787,318 SM. Israel has 8,463 SM, about one-sixth of that of the State of Michigan. Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Afghanistan are Muslim but not Arab and are not included.     World Arab population: 300 million; World Jewish population: 13.6 million; Israel’s Jewish population: 5.4 million.  (Dr. Wilbert Simkovitz, http://dehai.org/archives/dehai_news_archive/apr04/0223.html)
