A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

So you've heard the latest?
Israel doesn't want to accept peace-keeping troops that do not recognise the state of Israel.
Israeli UN envoy Dan Gillerman made clear Israel's unhappiness with some of the contributors. "It would be very difficult if not inconceivable for Israel to accept troops from countries who do not recognise Israel, who have no diplomatic relations with Israel," he told the BBC. He said they would be "very happy" to accept troops from Muslim countries they have friendly relations with. "But to expect countries who don't even recognise Israel to guard Israel's safety I think would be a bit naive," he said.

I ask, what about guarding Lebanon's safety?? Oh, of course, how could I forget? Lebanon is an Arab country...who needs to protect the Arabs? It's the Arabs that are destroying infrastructure, and slaughtering innocents. Yes, that's right. So, let's forget about them, and concentrate on protecting Israel. The land of democracy, and equality and a policy of non-violence.
I think I'm going to be sick!

His comments were dismissed by Malaysia, which, along with Indonesia, has a Muslim majority population.

"We're going to be on Lebanese territory ... We're not going to be on Israeli territory," Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said.

Exactly!
Where is the Lebanese Government? Do they not have a say in what troops are stationed on Lebanese soil??

And you know the worst thing? People are going to start saying "Yeeeaahhh...Israel is right! Why DON'T these countries recognise it?" And the worlds attention is going to be distracted from the issue at hand, that is, the protection of a country and its people (I'm talking about Lebanon!), and be shifted to an issue that has nothing whatsoever to do with the situation. An issue, in fact, that has no doubt been raised as a sort of "wolf in sheeps clothing" to allow this violence to continue.
Let's just hope we're not that stupid!
