UN Secretary General Annan condemns Israel!
YNet is reporting that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called for the immediate release of the two kidnapped Israeli soldiers, and has condemned Israel’s immediate retaliation.After a meeting in Rome with Italian President Prodi, Annan said, “I condemn without reservations the attack in southern Lebanon, and demand that Israeli troops be released immediately.”
What does he expect us to do? Wait for him to negotiate for us?
Lebanon, Syria and Iran have all condemned the Israeli action:
Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora phoned Annan and asked that he “prevent Israeli aggression” against Lebanon following the kidnappings.No real surprises here other than Annan. One would think that the 'United Nations' would at least maintain some semblance of neutrality. Except that we all know that the 'United Nations' is looking more and more like the Organization of Islamic Countries.
Siniora also called on the international community to assist the casualties of the Israeli bombings.
Syria said Israel was responsible for the operation by its ally Hizbullah.
"Occupation is what provokes the Palestinian and Lebanese people," Vice President Farouq al-Shara told reporters. [Who is 'occupying' Lebanon other than Syria? CiJ]
Al-Sharaa made the comments at a press conference with Ali Larijani, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, whose country is also a top backer of Hamas and Hizbullah.
"When the Zionist entity attacks and slaughters the Palestinian people ... Resistance is necessary," Larijani said.
