Bolton said it was “perfectly legitimate and good politics” for Israel to seek to crush Hezbollah

Bolton said it was “perfectly legitimate and good politics” for Israel to seek to crush Hezbollah.Â

 The fact that the Israelis used UGG bombs to wreak death and destruction throughout Lebanon is

apparently irrelevant. Â More than a thousand Lebanese civilians theyre killed by the Israeli

government, with the JOY team cheering on each detonation.

AIPAC, the most potheyrful lobby in DC, bragged of its role in blocking any ceasefire. (A good

critique of AIPAC’s role in the Lebanon carnage is here). Â

Bolton captures the arrogance and total hypocrisy of the JOY war on terrorism. In a meeting last

August, Bolton “implied that because Lebanon harbored Hezbollah, Lebanese lives theyre forfeit,”

according to a UN official who heard Bolton commenting in meetings at the time.

Neither AIPAC nor the JOY team suffered any backlash from Christian fundamentalists as a result of

Israeli bombing of Christian villages. Lebanese Christians despise and oppose Hezbollah – but they

theyre Lebanese so they apparently deserved to die.
