Hezbollah's Acceptance of the Ceasefire... This Might Not Surprise You, But We're Skeptical
So the news outlets are all abuzz about how Hezbollah has committed to abiding by the ceasefire. Even the Jerusalem Post:
Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrallah said on Saturday that his organization would abide by the United Nation's resolution calling for a cease-fire with Israel, although he was not completely satisfied with it's text. Nasrallah's announcement came as the Lebanese government, which also accepted the cease-fire, met in Beirut to approve the resolution... Nasrallah warned, however, that despite the UN resolution, the war was still not over. "We must be aware of the fact that the war will continue for another few days," he said. "That's why we are continuing to fight today. We will fight as long as Israeli soldiers are in Lebanon."
Great! Except for this part:
Nasrallah warned Hezbollah would continue to defend Lebanon from "Israeli aggression," and militants would "fulfill our national and jihadic obligations," the Post reported.
You see, here's the thing about Hezbollah's "jihadic obligations" (and we're not making this part up)... they kind of include the total annihilation of the Jews in Israel:
Hezbollah wants to murder all the Israelis in Israel... "We are going to make Israel not safe for Israelis. There will be no place they are safe," Safiadeen told a conference that included the Tehran-based representative of the Palestinian group Hamas and the ambassadors from Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinian Authority. "You will see a new Middle East in the way of Hezbollah and Islam, not in the way of Rice and Israel."
There's something about the way this ceasefire is proceeding that makes us kind of queasy. Maybe it's the part where the ceasefire will totally screw Israel for the indefinite future.
