West's Political Elites Mourn the Death of a Terrorist Group

(Gatestone Institute) Robert Williams - It took the world community nearly a year to condemn the war in Lebanon, but instead of condemning Hizbullah for starting the war in support of the terrorist organization Hamas, the West's political "elites" condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hizbullah's leadership. The UN Security Council called an emergency session on Sep. 20, during which UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said he was "appalled" by the attacks on Hizbullah pagers and walkie-talkies. Slovenian ambassador Samuel Zbogar, whose country held the Security Council presidency, blamed Israel for creating destabilization and "terror" with its precision targeting of Hizbullah terrorists. "Those who ordered and carried out such an attack must be brought to justice," he said. There was no mention of international law for Hizbullah's unprovoked, year-long bombardments of missiles and attack drones. Israel, in other words, must supposedly be brought before a world court for having the gall to defend its civilians from a terrorist organization.
