It seems as if Lebanon is quickly spiraling into another civil war. The last one, which raged from 1975 to 1990, changed a Beirut from the “Riviera of the Middle East” into a synonym for a bloody war zone. After relative calm in recent years, the serenity appears to be quickly falling into the hands of Hezbollah – one of the world’s veteran terrorist groups—and its main supporter, Syria.

Yesterday, Antonine Ghanem, a Lebanese Member of Parliament was killed by car bomb. He was a supporter of the current Prime Minister, putting him at odds with Hezbollah and Syria. Two years ago, a moderate, anti-Syrian prime minister also was killed. Other anti-Syrian, anti-Hezbollah legislators have been assassinated as well.

The situation is not dissimilar to Gaza, which also is involved in a civil war between Fatah and Hamas. Of course, Israel is blamed by many for the Muslim-on-Muslim strife in Gaza for not allowing Palestinian workers into Israel, which has to be done for security reasons.

I’m waiting for the U.N. Human Rights Commission to yet again get it wrong and blame the deteriorating situations on Israel. Perhaps they’ll point to last year’s war between Israel and Hezbollah, one that started when Hezbollah murdered and kidnapped Israeli soldiers on Israeli territory. Then there’s my favorite excuse: Israel still controls the Shaba’a Farms, which every international authority starting with the United Nations says is not Lebanese, but Syrian, and which Israel says can be returned in an eventual peace deal with Syria. What’s reality when you have a good excuse to whip up the terrorists?

Meanwhile, Muslims continue to kill each other across this earth – in Iraq, Gaza, and Lebanon. To cover up these crimes they blame it on the Jews. Otherwise, they’d have to take responsibility.

I’d be dreaming to expect the U.N to take any action based on reality.
