12/03/2010 Day after another, the United States proves itself to be Israel's strategic ally in the region…
On Thursday for instance, US Vice President Joe Biden didn't hesitate to express his "love" to Israel and expressed fears because the Resistance in Lebanon was a "threat" to the Zionist entity. And to complete the "scenario," he called for the implementation of the international resolution 1701 with the "aim" of "disarming" Hezbollah!
In the same day, the United States a new report on "human rights" in Lebanon, a report in which the American "democracy" would find easy to criticize Lebanon because it didn't succeed in disarming Hezbollah, in a complete harmony with Biden and his Israeli friends' aims.
The report goes on to claim that despite the presence of Lebanese and UN security forces, "Hezbollah retained significant influence over parts of the country, and the government made no tangible progress toward disbanding and disarming armed militia groups," in a clear reference to the American "discomfort" at the national-unity government in Lebanon.
The report also claimed that although the country held parliamentary elections international observers deemed generally free and fair, there were limitations on the right of citizens to change their government peacefully.
The American critiques also targeted the security forces. "Security forces arbitrarily arrested and detained individuals. Torture of detainees remained a problem, as did poor prison conditions, lengthy pretrial detention, and long delays in the court system. The government violated citizens' privacy rights, and there were some restrictions on freedoms of speech and press, including intimidation of journalists. The government suffered from corruption and lack of transparency. There were limitations on freedom of movement for unregistered refugees," the report said.
While noting the intimidation generated by a series of unresolved political assassinations by unidentified assailants beginning in 2004, the report, of course, didn't pay attention to the Israeli daily threats against the country and to the Israeli spying networks discovered throughout the whole country…
Yes, in the US, nothing is politically motivated!
