03/08/2010 Once again, the Israeli enemy violates the Lebanese sovereignty without taking into consideration any so-called international community…
The Israeli enemy, believed to be violating the international resolution 1701 in a daily basis, can provoke clashes with the Lebanese Army, fire rockets at Lebanese posts, cause martyrdom of Lebanese soldiers and journalists. Even more, they have the right to uproot a tree on the Lebanese side without facing any resistance.
But the Lebanese have no right to defend themselves. They have no right to complain. They can't ask for an international firm stance. They must accept the status-quo and quietly mourn their martyrs.
The maximum they can get from the world is "condemnations." And even condemnations are limited to a few countries, the friendly and brotherly countries that share with Lebanon the principles and values. As for Western countries that claim to be defenders of Lebanon's sovereignty and independence such as the United States, silence seems to be the best weapon.
At the top of the condemners came Syria which condemned "the heinous aggression" launched by Israel against Lebanon. "President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday telephoned Lebanese President Michel Sleiman and expressed Syria's support for Lebanon against the heinous aggression launched by Israel on Lebanon," state news agency SANA reported. "President Assad considers that this aggression proves once more that Israel has always been seeking to destabilise security and stability in Lebanon and the region," SANA said.
A spokesperson for the French Foreign Ministry said in turn "we feel anxious regarding recent reports on an exchange of gunfire between both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border." The spokesman however did not give any inclination as to what position France had taken on the situation.
Meanwhile, Egypt said it had directly contacted the US, France and the UN after hearing of the issue, calling for their intervention to pressure Israel into practicing calm and self-control in South Lebanon, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.
It added that Israel should respect UN resolution 1701 and prevent any violations of this resolution.
Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas also condemned the "Zionist aggression" against Lebanon and said it "stands by" Lebanon. In a statement, the Resistance group said Lebanon "has a right to resist the repeated Zionist violations and protect Lebanese land and sovereignty."
