Lebanese FM speech at the UN: Israel's "occupation" is the source of all problems. (He didn't mention Hezbollah once.)

Lebanese foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib spoke to the UN General Assembly on Thursday.

He said, “What we are currently experiencing in Lebanon is due to the absence of a sustainable solution to the root of the crisis, which is occupation. To claim anything else would be a waste of time.”

“So long as the occupation persists there will be instability and there will be war," he added.

It was unclear exactly which "occupation" he meant. Is it Israel's control of the West Bank? The war in Gaza? Or the "occupation" of the Shebaa Farms and other tiny border disputes with Hezbollah in Lebanon? (Recall that the Blue Line separating Israel from Lebanon was drawn by the UN who certified that Israel withdrew from all of Lebanese territory. Hezbollah made up 14 land disputes, some of them only centimeters,  to have a reason to claim they are defending Lebanon from Israeli expansionism.)

Either way, the statement is absurd. All of those things have been in place since 2006, why are there rockets being fired from Lebanon today? Who started this war?

Which brings us to the other fascinating part of his speech: It doesn't mention Hezbollah once. The terrorist group that hijacked Lebanon is so powerful that politicians cannot say their name.

Even worse, they adopt Hezbollah propaganda. Bou Habib referred to Hezbollah's military pagers as "civilian telecommunications devices." With the exception of claiming that Lebanon wants to implement UNSC 1701, everything else he said could have come from Hezbollah propaganda. 

Bou Habib made a similar speech to the Security Council last week, again not mentioning Hezbollah while discussing the war  Hezbollah started.
