UN preparing to hand Hizb'allah a victory

The United Nations is poised to publish a report that will, in essence, "vindicate" the Lebanese Hizb'allah's aggression against Israel.

According to reports in the Israeli press Wednesday, a UN cartographer has come to Jerusalem to complete his task of "proving" that the so-called Sheba'a Farms situated between Israel, Lebanon and Syria belong to Lebanon after all, and not to Syria.

This will amount to a u-turn from a previous UN position that Israel did indeed pull out of every inch of Lebanon in its unilateral withdrawal in 2000.

And it will lend credibility to Hizb'allah's assertions that it has continued to act aggressively against Israel because of the "continued occupation of Lebanese land."

Israel did not vacate the land in question when it left southern Lebanon because it said it was Syrian and not Lebanese land. Jerusalem's position was that the future of that land would be decided in Israel-Syria negotiations.

The UN effectively if reluctantly supported that position after its surveyors confirmed Israel's complete withdrawal.

Massive Arab pressure appears to have now given rise to "second thoughts" which could spur Hizb'allah into once again turning up the heat on Israel's northern border.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon tried to downplay the situation Wednesday, saying that discussion of the ownership of the farms was premature.
