Dat was resolutie 425 uit 1978, die uiteindelijk pas in 2000 (!!) door
Israël uitgevoerd werd. Hoe goed ben jij geïnformeerd, Henk?

Je schermt wellicht net als o.a. het CDA met resolutie 1559 uit 2004.

Hoewel, deze resolutie gaat exclusief over het bevorderen van het
territoriaal gezag van Libanon, en er staat niets in over grensbewaking.

Tsjonge, een resolutie die exclusief beoogt en oproept de territoriale
integriteit van Libanon te bevorderen, overigens zonder aan te geven hoe
dat gerealiseerd kan of moet worden, en zonder sancties te noemen, zou
door een partij die er niet eens in genoemd wordt, en nota bene /door
middel van de brute schending van de territoriale integriteit van
Libanon/ afgedwongen moeten worden?

Dat is geen serieus standpunt, Henk.

Dat obligate en nog nooit door jou onderbouwde gemekker waarmee je
steeds mijn geloofwaardigheid ter discussie stelt ben ik nu wel zat
hoor, Henk.
