But in day 13 of the war; why haven’t the UNIFIL forces been evacuated? Who is the boy-genius in charge of that operation? What the frack are they still there for? There is no peace to keep nor has there been for almost two weeks.
UN Secretary-General claims the attack was “apparently deliberate” - Israel says, “sorry”.
And Prime Minister Stephen Harper says, no to any Canadian contribution to any new peacekeeping missions to Lebanon. Wise choice.
And just when you thought that Lebanon was hot enough, the Palestine Liberation Organization has threatened to join the fray on Hezbollah’s side. Fatah Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has no comment according to this Jerusalem Post report:
Palestinian gunmen in Lebanon are set to join the fighting against the IDF, the leader of the Fatah faction in Lebanon, Sultan Abu al-Aynain, announced on Tuesday.
He said Fatah, which is headed by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, has thousands of fighters in Lebanon who are prepared to participate in the fighting and warned Israel against targeting Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
It is unclear whether the announcement was made in coordination with Abbas. Sources close to Abbas refused to comment on Abu al-Aynain's threats, but acknowledged that he was Fatah's "military commander" in Lebanon. The sources pointed out that in the past, Abu al-Aynain had dispatched Palestinians to Iraq to fight against US troops.
I marvel at the ability of the Palestinians to back a loser every single time. If I was Hezbollah, I would be saying "thanks, but no thanks", we got it covered.
