The previous post notes criticism of France and its duplicity in negotiating a ceasefire in Lebanon. Now we have the New York Times doing its level best to behave like the French.
JERUSALEM, Aug. 19 — Despite a cease-fire agreement, Israel intends to do its best to keep Iran and Syria from rearming Hezbollah and to kill the militia’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, says a senior Israeli commander. (Emphasis added).
Note the spin? "Despite a ceasefire" agreement that specifies that Hezbollah must not be rearmed Israel has the unmitigated gall to vow to enforce that ceasefire. Despite the fact that the UN passed a resolution requiring the disarmament of Hezbollah a couple of years back Israel is doing something wrong to act to actually enforce the resolution.
In other words, talk the talk but don't you dare walk the walk. It's downright French.
