From: melsant@vipac.org Date: Fri 4 May 2007 Subject: [Vipac-letters] Support Israel: End Re-Supply of Hezbollah Sender: vipac-letters-bounces@vipac.org Errors-To: vipac-letters-bounces@vipac.org Dear Mr. President: David Makovsky in the May 2 2007 edition of the Washington Post reported that =93The causes of last year's war with Hezbollah in Lebanon still exist - and may spark another conflagration. Israel resorted to military action last July largely because the UN did nothing to implement Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1680 which made clear that Hezbollah should disband and be disarmed. Israel was left to fend for itself after Hezbollah crossed a UN-demarcated line killed three Israeli soldiers and kidnapped two soldiers it still has not released.=94 After the end of that war the United Nations passed Security Council Resolution 1701 which called for an international embargo to prevent Hezbollah from being re-supplied with weapons. However the UN has not acted to implement this resolution. UN =93Peacekeepers=94 are standing arou= nd with their eyes closed at Lebanon=92s borders as Syria and Iran smuggle weapons into Lebanon. I urge you to speak up and use your influence to stop Syria and Iran from re-supplying the Hezbollah terrorists. Your resolve in this matter in support of Israel will help save innocent lives.
