Is this man a Zionist?

Is this man a Zionist? Hezbullah says he is.

Hezbollah on Thursday evening slammed UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s latest report on Security Council Resolution 1559 and accused him of being a Zionist .

Ban’s report “shows clearly that [Ban] obviously stands in the ranks of Zionist violators of Lebanon’s security and stability,” the party said in a statement.

The UN chief takes “unjust and unfair stances in his view of the situation in Lebanon, especially in his blaming Hezbollah for all of Lebanon’s problems,” the statement said.

Ban “condemns Lebanon’s maintenance of its strength and impregnability in confrontation with this aggression” and “justifies the Zionists crimes for them,” Hezbollah stated.

“This is the nature of the task that the US administration and some Western governments have given him, which he is implementing precisely instead of performing his role as a guarantor of nations’ rights and working to achieve security and peace in the world’s states.”

Hezbollah will “continue working to protect Lebanon and achieve its dignity and pride under the golden rule of ‘people, army, and Resistance’ in the stand against Zionist attacks and ambitions,” the statement added.

And what was in Ban's report that so aroused Hezbullah's ire?

Ban called for the formation of a new Lebanese government that will take “tangible measures” to disarm Hezbollah and Palestinian militias.

Good luck with that. You'd think that Ban would 'know better' by now than to say things like that which are so outside the things that about which the UN ordinarily worries.

Anyway, if Ban wants to become a 'Zionist' he should let us know. I know. Fat chance. Heh.
