UN Humanitarian Chief: Hezbollah cowardly
Nice to see some balance for a change. Jan Egeland, the UN guy who was excoriating Israel for "disproportionate response" and violating some fictitional "international humanitarian law" has added a new tune to his repertoire - and it's a very unfamiliar one for most UN staff:
On Monday, he had strong words for Hezbollah, which crossed into Israel, captured two soldiers and killed eight others on July 12, triggering fierce fighting.
"Consistently, from the Hezbollah heartland, my message was that Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending ... among women and children," he said. "I heard they were proud because they lost very few fighters and that it was the civilians bearing the brunt of this. I don't think anyone should be proud of having many more children and women dead than armed men."
But they are proud. Just as they are proud of targeting civilian areas in Israel with their missiles. Nonetheless, if this keeps up, Mr. Egeland might just get it right. Shame it probably won't be contagious.
