The IDF devotes precious resources and forces to helping the people of southern Lebanon. Those would be the same people who voted to fill 24 out of 24 parliamentary seats from their region with Hezbollah and Hezbollah political allies:
One IDF unit in Tel Aviv has a mission very different from that of the forces pounding Hizbullah in the North – getting humanitarian assistance to Lebanon. Following the escalation in violence last month, officers from the IDF’s Foreign Relations Unit decided to set up an operations room in a base in northern Tel Aviv to coordinate international efforts to provide aid to Lebanon despite the army’s naval-air-land siege of the country.
This distinguishes Israel sharply from Hezbollah, who rains rockets and missiles down indiscriminately on homes and schools in an effort to maximize the civilian death count. It also distinguishes Israel from Iran and Syria, who supplies Hezbollah with those very rockets and missiles. Iran and Syria, incidentally, have been threatened with absolutely no UN human rights condemnations in the last two weeks – again, in sharp distinction from Israel.
