Kofi Annan coddles Hezbollah.
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan yesterday said in regard to Hezbollah: “The world must accept that in every society different groups may hold different views.” (AP, see full article at: http://www.political-news.org/breaking/7401/un-must-accept-hezbollah-annan-says.html). In other words, Annan sees terrorism as a legitimate political point of view (at least when it is aimed against Israel). What’s more, Hezbollah stands in the way of the implementation of a U.N. resolution calling for the end of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. In other words, Kofi Annan is not interested in the successful implementation of the resolutions of the organization he heads (at least not in regard to Israel’s enemies).
There is only one explanation for Kofi Annan taking positions running counter to his own interests. His hatred of Israel is so deep that it trumps all other considerations including the war on terrorism and the credibility the organization he himself heads. This irrational hatred towards the Jewish State is no different than the centuries-old irrational hatred towards the Jewish People. This hatred has been around for a long time and has a name: Anti-Semitism. It is time we recognized it for what it is and treat it accordingly.

This from the New York Times:
--Mr. Annan called for a definition of terrorism as any act "intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or noncombatants" aimed at intimidating governments, populations or international organizations. "We must convince all those who may be tempted to support terrorism that it is neither an acceptable nor an effective way to advance their cause," he said.--
How can Annan not support Israeli military actions if this is his definition of terrorism, and his restructuring of the U.N. focuses on limiting terrorism around the world? Annan also wants to repair the credibility of the Human Rights Commision. He's painting himself into a corner, forced to support Israeli self-defence on one hand, and Palestinian refugees on the other.
