(IsraelNN.com) The new Lebanese government formed by Prime Minister Saad Hariri will officially endorse the Hizbullah terror militia and grant legitimacy to its attacks on Israel.
Hariri's national unity cabinet, including two members of Hizbullah, has been attempting to hammer out government guidelines ever since its formation earlier this month. A central sticking point has been Hizbullah's insistence that its independent arsenal of weapons be officially endorsed by the state. According to the Iranian-backed organization, its arms are non-negotiable. Cabinet members of the Phalangist Party and the Lebanese Forces insist that Hizbullah weapons undermine government authority and are in direct violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. The two parties initially said they would refuse to sign off on any government guidelines that left Hizbullah free to use its arsenal freely.
After nine attempts, according to Lebanese Information Minister Tarik Mitri, a draft agreement was reached on Wednesday that grants the Hizbullah demand. According to Mitri, the government guidelines will recognize the right "of Lebanon, its government, its people, its army and its resistance" to liberate Lebanese territory. The "resistance", in this case, refers directly to Hizbullah.

Why we continue to prop up Lebanon in the naive hope that the Lebanese Army will crack down on Hezbollah is beyond me.
You lay down with dogs, and you get fleas. Time to pull the rug out.
can the IDF in it’s current config and under current leadership , take on the Lebs , Syria and Iran , simultaneously , without US help ?
Since Lebanon’s govt endorses Hezbollah, for all intents and
purposes Lebanon now is OFFICIALLY a TERRORIST state
(as they have been all along).
Although I would not put any past Obama, the US cannot
support or defend a TERRORIST state.
“If Hizbullah attacks Israel (more like when than if) it’s a declaration of war by the Lebanese government. They shall reap the whirlwind...”
Hizbullah would more than likely attack Israel prior to 2012 knowing we are weakened by our current leadership at least to that time.
The new Lebanese government is saying that the actions of Hezbollah are the actions of the Lebanese government? Wouldn’t that make a Hezbollah attack on Israel a Lebanese act of war against Israel?
This is the fate of every nation that fails to recognize what happens..
According to the Iranian-backed organization, its arms are non-negotiable.
Say goodbye to your infrastructure in the next war, Lebanon. You just made every bridge, highway, port, airport, and military base in the country a legitimate military target in the next Israel war.
maybe its too early in the morning but what does that even mean?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

“Lebanon used to be a thriving Christian country until it has been, relatively quickly, turned into a 3rd world islamonazi hellhole.
This is the fate of every nation that fails to recognize what happens..”
Wonderful post, my FRiend! The world should look at Lebanon and its sad history. It is the world in a microcosm. Beirut used to be called “The Paris of the Mediterranean”. It was a sparkling metropolis with a Christian majority. Because the muslims were in the minority, they lived in peace with their neighbors, had a voice in government, and contributed to the culture. In Mettulla, Israel, there were daily passages of people across the “Good Fence” border for jobs and trade.
But this was not good enough for Syria or the rest of the muslim world. Oh no. That would never do at all!
Reduction of thriving civilizations to turd world enclaves is the specialty of Muzzies and Islam.

I guess if it was good enough for the 7th Century, it’s good enough for YOU! /sarc
Soon to be showing in your neighborhood.
“Soon to be showing in your neighborhood”
Already HERE in mine.
If that’s the case, any strike by Hizbullah on Israeli citizens or properties could be taken as an act of war against Israel. They are acting for Lebanon.
I guess this is just more proof that **WHEREVER** you find the Religion of Pieces you'll find death,destruction and darkness.
My (very) Jewish SIL, 100% pro Obama / Cap & Trade / Socialized Medicine is still sees no problem with his treatment of Israel.
I swear this administration could be rounding up Jews and she’d say they must have done something to deserve it.
Apparently the notion of self preservation has been bred out of Jewish Democrats.
