 RIYADH - The 57-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) said on Monday it backed efforts to place an international force in southern Lebanon and an immediate ceasefire between Hezbollah fighters and Israel. ”(OIC) affirms the need for an immediate ceasefire followed by a prisoner swap and setting up an international force under the United Nations to ensure disengagement,” the world’s biggest Islamic body, based in Saudi Arabia, said in a statement.
| Just the camel's nose under the tent to get what the Hezbies really want, a prisoner exchange. |
OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said other U.N. resolutions concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict should also be implemented. “U.N. resolution 1559 is one of many Security Council resolutions that have not been implemented yet ... International law should not be cut up and dealt with in a selective manner like this,” Ihsanoglu said in the statement.
| "Unless it favors Muslim countries," he added softly. |
He also accused Israel of committing war crimes in a blitz of Lebanon which was intended to punish guerrilla group Hezbollah for capturing and killing Israeli soldiers.
| It's almost like the OIC and the Euro left coordinated their talking points ... |
