Okay, before we go any further...U.N. Resolution 1701 was adopted by the U.N. in 2006 in order to put an end to the Lebanon War being fought between Hezbollah and Israel. If you want to check out the entirety of the Resolution, you can find it here. But the crux of that resolution was that Hezbollah wouldn't rearm after the conclusion of the war. Here's part of the Resolution that addressed that:
Now, let's look at what the Israelis are saying today, from the Jerusalem Post:
So, with that all said and done, the fact of the matter is Hezbollah has been violating U.N. Resolution 1701 for nearly 2 years. Which brings me to a question for Israel: Did you REALLY think that Hezbollah would follow a U.N. resolution??!! For pete's sakes, Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and doesn't give a rat's ass about the comedians at the U.N. And secondly, Israel: Did you REALLY think that Lebanon was capable of standing up to Iran-backed Hezbollah??!!
This just goes to show further proof of the ineptness of Olmert. It is a wonder to me that Israel is even still standing. The Israelis, upon learning of the very first delivery of Iranian rockets and missiles to Hezbollah after the agreement, should have sent a message to the U.N. and to Lebanon that if those rockets weren't destroyed in one week, Israel would do it themselves. And the Israelis should have gone in and blown them to bits. This isn't a game of fucking tiddly winks, Olmert.
Somewhere down the line, there are going to be some heavy casualties in Israel over the bombing from Hezbollah and most of those rockets that will do the damage came in under Olmert's watch.
“3. Emphasizes the importance of the extension of the control of the Government of Lebanon over all Lebanese territory in accordance with the provisions of resolution 1559 (2004) and resolution 1680 (2006), and of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords, for it to exercise its full sovereignty, so that there will be no weapons without the consent of the Government of Lebanon and no authority other than that of the Government of Lebanon;
Now, let's look at what the Israelis are saying today, from the Jerusalem Post:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will convene the cabinet to discuss the rearmament of Hizbullah since the Second Lebanon War and to discuss ways to curb the flow of weapons from Syria to the guerrilla group.
"Syria is rearming Hizbullah at a rapid pace and this is proof that 1701 has completely failed," one official said.

Defense officials: UN Resolution 1701 on the verge of collapse
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, passed to stop the Second Lebanon War, is on the verge of collapse as Syria continues to rearm Hizbullah, senior defense officials warned Tuesday night ahead of a scheduled security cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will convene the cabinet to discuss the rearmament of Hizbullah since the Second Lebanon War and to discuss ways to curb the flow of weapons from Syria to the guerrilla group.
During the meeting, the ministers will be briefed by Military Intelligence on Hizbullah's rehabilitation and preparation for another round of violence with Israel.
Defense officials said Israel's only course of action at present was to attempt to place pressure on diplomatic officials from European countries that contribute to UNIFIL.
"Syria is rearming Hizbullah at a rapid pace and this is proof that 1701 has completely failed," one official said.
The peacekeeping force's mandate will be up for renewal next month and Israel is looking to see if it will be possible to make changes that will give the force more freedom to prevent Hizbullah's rearmament.
