9. What is not factual?
Tue Nov 26, 2024, 11:00 AM

The UN Resolution 1701 is factual. The call for Lebanon's government to exercise sole and full control and sovereignty of Lebanon's territory is factual. The establishment between the Blue Line and the Litani river of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and of UNIFIL is factual. The requirement to dismantle all armed groups in Lebanon, so that, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State is factual. The demand that no sales or supply of arms and related materiel to Lebanon except as
authorized by its Government is factual. The decision to deploy 15,000 UNIFIL troops to assist the Lebanese government in implementing all of the above is factual. The UN authorizing UNIFIL to take all necessary action in areas of deployment of its forces to insure the implementation of all of the above is factual.

The presence of an armed group in Southern Lebanon exceeding that of Lebanon's armed forces is factual. The continued arms supplies to Hezbollah are factual. The failure of UNIFIL to prevent either is factual.

So what is not factual or disingenuous in stating the obvious? Clearly, the UN failed to implement or enforce the terms of its own resolution, as the said resolution set forth in its text, your righteous indignations over "anybody on any side of this cry... about violations and engage in finger pointing" notwithstanding.

It's just factual. And if you consider anything to be not factual, I would appreciate you referring to the txt of the resolution to demonstrate how it is not.
