From UN to Israel: Shaba Farms Is Lebanese Territory: The UN has told Israel that its mapping experts have determined that the Shaba Farms on Mount Dov, now controlled by Israel, is Lebanese territory. The UN has proposed that Israel withdraw from the area and that it be considered international territory to be controlled by UNIFIL. Prime Minister Olmert opposes the idea. When the UN marked the border between Israel and Lebanon after Israel’s withdrawal in May 2000, the Shaba Farms were said to be part of Syrian territory, and that Israel did not need to withdraw from it in

Dr. Joseph Hitti writes in “Lebanon Pays a High Price“: With UN Resolution 1701 now a fact, has Hezbollah achieved the goals it set for itself when it attacked Israel on July 12? 1. Release of Lebanese prisoners held by Israel. The resolution only asks that the issue of those prisoners be worked out later.Conclusion: Hezbollah’s reckless attack on July 12 failed. 2. The “liberation” of the Shebaa Farms.Hezbollah had wanted the Shebaa Farms free of Israeli troops.

Via FrontPageMagazine: Thank you, Hezbollah, for showing us that we, the Lebanese people, don’t need an army or a government or an infrastructure. As long as we have “sacred unity”, steadfastness and brotherhood and all the other slogans, we do not need organized society, and History will judge us well on our actions.

Hassan Nasrallah has explained his current aggression is to reclaim Lebanese territory, the Shebaa Farms. This has nothing to do with Lebanon. He also speaks about getting the release of Lebanese prisoners in Israel. The main prisoner – it is not clear how many others there are – is Samir al-Kuntar. In 1979 he was sentenced to 542 years imprisonment: he came by boat from Lebanon, got to Nahariya, shot dead Danny Haran in his house, his four-year-old daughter and a policeman. Mrs Haran hid, and accidentally smothered her baby in keeping her from crying. The Kuntar website, www.samirkuntar.org/english.html, by
