U.N. "PEACEKEEPERS" AND LEBANESE ARMY WORKING WITH HEZBOLLAH

I'M SURE THE RESIDENTS OF NORTHERN ISRAEL FEEL SAFER ALREADY. THE NEXT TIME THE U.N. BROKERS A CEASEFIRE, I HOPE THAT ISRAEL WILL REMEMBER THAT NOT ONLY DO THEY FAIL TO ENFORCE THE PROMISES OF ISRAEL'S ENEMIES, THEY COLLABORATE WITH THEM. DISGUSTING AND SHAMEFUL.

Peacekeeping with Hizbullah's Help - Nicholas Blanford (TIME)
Some of the European contingents in the UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon are now seeking the cooperation of the Iran-backed Hizbullah to help protect them from al-Qaeda-inspired militants.

Since last month's bomb ambush that killed six Spanish and Colombian UNIFIL soldiers, there have been discreet contacts between some UNIFIL contingents and Hizbullah representatives, including at least one meeting involving Spanish UNIFIL officers. Furthermore, Hizbullah officials have met with Spanish diplomats in Beirut and the Madrid government is believed to have held talks with Iran, Hizbullah's patron, on the safety of its peacekeepers. At least one other European contingent enjoys regular direct contact with Hizbullah.

"Lebanese Army soldiers are assisting Hizbullah to introduce weapons into southern Lebanon," Israeli intelligence sources report. Some 40% of the Lebanese Army are Shi'ites who identify with Hizbullah and contribute to its strengthening, according to recent classified briefings in Jerusalem. UNIFIL forces have noted how Shi'ite soldiers of the Lebanese Army aid Hizbullah and they attribute this to family relationships between Hizbullah members and soldiers, and because many of them share a deep ideological tie.
