>>> Israel has committed an unprovoked act of war against Lebanon right now.(2) Actually, Israel has a point and I may be mistaken. ynetnews.com >>Israel to UN: Lebanon declared war WASHINGTON - Israel filed a severe complaint to the United Nation Wednesday, which declared Hizbullah's attack on Israel and kidnapping of two IDF soldiers was “an act of war.” Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Gillerman, charged during a press conference that Lebanon has no less than declared war on Israel. With that, Israel has not requested the UN Security Council convene on the issue. Gillerman made the comments shortly after UN Secretary General Kofi Annancriticized Israel’s reprisal activities and demanded the kidnapped soldiers be released. In a letter to the UN secretary general and the current president of the Security Council Jean-Marc de la Sabliere, Gillerman wrote that the attack was a belligerent act from the sovereign territory of the Lebanese government, an act violating all UN and Security Council decisions. Israel placed responsibility for the attack on the Lebanese government, from whose territory the attack emanated. The Lebanese government failed to disarm terror organizations acting against Israel, Gillerman wrote, and since this was a belligerent act Israel reserves the right and duty to respond according to the UN charter, he added. Lebanon violated UN charter Gillerman called a press conference, in which he declared that “Today, war was declared on Israel from the northern border,” a declaration of war by Lebanon on the State of Israel, he explained. He added that Israel blamed Lebanon for the incident, as the attack was carried out from its sovereign territory. The UN established that Israel had completely withdrawn from Lebanon, Gillerman pointed out, and ruled that the Lebanese government must exercise its sovereignty and deploy its army along the Israel border to deter Hizbullah. The UN charter also demanded Hizbullah be disarmed. “The Lebanese government ignored the UN decisions, and what you see here today is the result,” Gillerman charged. He added that Israel would act in any way possible to defend its borders and return the kidnapped soldiers. The UN ambassador maintained that Israel categorically refused to negotiate with terror organizations, and Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah was recognized as a terrorist whose hands were stained with Israeli blood. “Damascus is the official capital of terrorism,” he added, as it gives refuge to ten of the worst terror organizations. Immediately at the start of Israel incursion into Gaza, a group of Arab countries appealed to the UN to assemble the Security Council to discuss what they termed “Israeli aggression.” But the nations of Europe refuse to address the extremist wording of the Arab requests, and did not even bother to respond. At the moment, Israel had no plans to call for a Security Council assembly to discuss Israel’s operation in Lebanon. <<
