2. That list of resolutions is mostly the UN "deplores" condemns" "is angry" stuff. As discussed in another thread, one cannot enforce the emotion of another. I am not going to enforce your anger, it isn't possible.

So then if those adjectives are worthless in regards to Israel then, The UN "agrees" that the Sheba Farms belongs to....thereby technically making it Lebanese land you'd figure? or does this special "word" rule only pertain to states like Israel only?

are ALL reporting the same thing - that Hezbollah armed itself; went into
Israel; attacked a military post; kidnapped Israelies; and held them for
ransom.
Israeli Soldiers Were Captured INSIDE Lebanon
It all started on July 12 when Israel troops were ambushed on Lebanon's side of the border with Israel. Hezbollah, which commands the Lebanese south, immediately seized on their crossing. They arrested two Israeli soldiers, killed eight Israelis and wounded over 20 in attacks inside Israeli territory.
Hezbollah Seize Israel Soldiers
No mention here of the hundreds of Lebanese held illegally in Israeli torture dungeons. Earlier this month, the Lebanese government complained to the UN Secretary General representative in Beirut about “the nonstop arrest of detainees, and … the hundreds of missing persons, which poses as a violation of human rights.”
Israel has admitted abducting Lebanese for political purposes, but for some reason this fact is not mentioned in the corporate media. In the late 90s, before Israel was evicted from southern Lebanon by Hezbollah, it was a common practice for Israel to abduct entirely innocent Lebanese and hold them as “bargaining chips, ” and not hold them, according to Amnesty International, “for their own actions but in exchange for Israeli soldiers missing in action or killed in Lebanon.” As usual, these facts are ignored by our appointed ruler and the corporate media.
Few understand the magnitude of Israel’s abduction of Lebanese, accused of resisting Israel’s illegal occupation, or the fact many of them were tortured in the Khiam torture dungeon. “Lebanese detainees held without trial or after expiry of their sentences in Israeli prisons and in Khiam are Israel’s forgotten hostages,” notes Amnesty International. “Amnesty International knows of 21 Lebanese nationals who have been captured in Lebanon and transferred to Israeli prisons either without ever having been sentenced or held beyond the expiry of their sentences. These are just some of the detainees whom Amnesty International believes Israel to be holding as hostages. Most of them were captured by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) or by one of the pro-Israeli Christian militias in Lebanon, the Lebanese Forces or the SLA. Many of them were held in detention centers in Lebanon under Lebanese Forces’ or SLA control before being transferred, usually secretly, to Israel.” No mention of this in the corporate media.

I Spit.
Israel isn't occupying Lebanon. They haven't been there for a long time.
This battle has nothing to do with that past history.

This battle has nothing to do with that past history. Hezbollah invaded Israel
and took Israelies; then ran back to hide amongst the civilian Lebanese.
(who have invited Hezbollah to be part of their government)
More to Lebanon War than Meets the Eye
At first glance, history seems to repeat itself in Lebanon, where a lengthy cold war is intermittently interrupted by an extreme show of violence as traditional players quickly sprint into action, stacking their support behind one party or the other.
News headlines remind us of past conflicts such as that of 1978 – when Israel illegally occupied parts of Lebanon – and 1982 – when Israel unleashed a full scale invasion and most deadly campaign against its small neighbor to the north, killing tens of thousands, mostly civilians.
