Hizbollah rustar upp

Jonathan Spyer skriver om hur FN-resolution 1701 som avslutade kriget mellan Hizbollah och Israel 2006 totalt ignoreras av Hizbollah och dess vapenleverantörer Syrien och Iran. Nya vapen levereras till Hizbollah och omvärlden ser på utan att ingripa. Resolution 1701 säger att alla beväpnade grupper i Libanon skall avväpnas men idag är Hizzbollah den bäst utrustade terrororganisationen i världen.
Waiving the rules on the Syrian-Lebanese border
"The West should use resolution 1701 to roll back Hizbullah's effective take-over of the Lebanese gov't.
The summoning by the United States of Syrian Deputy Chief of Mission Zouheir Jabbour for a review of Syrian arms transfers to Hizbullah is the latest evidence of the serious basis to the recent tensions in the north.Syria has continued to deny recent reports suggesting that it permitted the transfer of Scud-D ballistic missiles to Hizbullah.But the issue of the Scuds is only a significant detail within a larger picture, which has been emerging into clear view since August 2006. This is the reality in which UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the war between Israel and Hizbullah in 2006, has been turned into a dead letter by the “resistance bloc” of Iran, Syria and Hizbullah.It is worth recalling that Resolution 1701 was hailed as a significant achievement for diplomacy at the time. The resolution was supposed to strengthen the basis for the renewed Lebanese sovereignty that seemed possible after Syrian withdrawal in 2005.Its provisions are quite clear. The resolution calls for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, so that... there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese state.” It also explicitly prohibits “sales or supply of arms and related materiel to Lebanon except as authorized by its government.”Hizbullah and its backers calculated, correctly, that neither the government of Lebanon, nor the United Nations, nor the “international community” would be able or willing to enforce these clauses."
