Israel Didn't Violate the Cease-Fire: Iran and Syria Did By Smuggling Arms to Hezbollah in Violation of U.N. Resolution 1701

The U.N. was quick to decry an Israeli raid deep into Lebanon to stop an illegal arms shipment to Hezbollah today, calling the Israeli military action a "violation of the cease-fire resolution."

Horsecrap!

This is just more proof that the U.N. passes resolutions that it doesn't enforce. There is an arms embargo against Hezbollah in the same resolution (1701) that the U.N. says Israel broke. Yet Iran and Syria continue to ship arms to Hezbollah, which led Israel to act...in support of resolution 1701. It's Hezbollah and it's benefactors who are violating the resolution.

The Security Council has no business passing resolutions it has no intention of enforcing. This "cease-fire" doesn't have much time left to it.
