Israel Claims It Has Approval From Entire World For Its Actions
In a "taking liberties with the truth" the likes of which only the Bushies have ever taken such wild abandon, Israel claims it has received a "green light" from the entire International community for its actions in Lebanon, purportedly only against Hezbollah.
This is so far from reality it might almost be something Ann Coulter wrote or Rush Limbaugh spoke on-air.
From the (London) Telegraph:
Israel has interpreted the international community's refusal to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East as an indication of worldwide support for its assault on Hizbollah.Uh... the only one who thinks he speaks not only FOR God but as the imperial monarch of the entire rest of the world is George W. Bush; if that's what Israel is banking on, then they are even more deluded than Bush is.
Haim Ramon, the country's justice minister, made the claim after the so-called core group of advisers on Lebanon ended a meeting in Rome yesterday without demanding an unconditional end to the violence.
America, Israel's leading ally on the international stage, has been the strongest opponent of demands that Israel lay down its arms.
