US Sponsored UN Resolution
Dr.Thomas Abowd: Professor of Anthropology at Wayne State University
The new US sponsored UN Resolution is pretty atrocious (read the text yourselves). It seems meant to be rejected by Lebanon and, thus to buy the Israeli war crimes machine more time to try to destroy Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, of course, won't be destroyed (for every Israeli massacre and war crime in Lebanon and Palestine, 100 new recruits are no doubt found). That is precisely what Israel does not understand, blinded by its own arrogance and its capacity to murder 50 people in one building with one mega-bomb attack).
Further, given the ways in which the resistances in Lebanon are making Israel's invasion costly, the murderous and misguided generals of Israel could very easily be seen as having failed in its military objectives if Hezbollah simply survives with some rockets and is able to fight another day.
There is much buzz in the Israeli New York Times (Ha'aretz) about how the Olmert/Peretz war criminal duo have only produced for Israel greater isolation in the world while promising much more militarily than they can actually deliver. Much of the Israeli left sees their regime as being used as a tool of US designs on the region. This was expressed by Israeli progressives at two large and recent anti-war demonstrations in the middle of Tel Aviv the last two weeks. I wish the Thomas Friedmans and Wolf Blitzers of the US media were half as perceptive (or honest.
