"It's time to do all we can to destroy as much as we can of the infrastructure in the next 12 or 13 hours, and then we'll see what is next," former prime minister Ehud Barak told CNN.

Mashallah, see everyone? I always knew Barak was an angel sent from the heavens above. 3ayazt wana akteb bel Wa6an bel saf7a il akheera / 3ayazt wana ansherr fi saf7at il magalaat bel Qabas to promote this fact.
How could he not be? He's an ex-PM of the zionist regime. Kelllllll wa7id fehom asna3 mn el thaany ba3ad 3omri. They are just defending their "country".

Anyway, before I tell everyone to f... orget it.

Here is the text of the UNSCR 1701. Knock yourselves out.

I'm a linguist, so that makes me two things. One: boring. Two: picky on any written text, and any heard conversation.

E.g.
"[the violence] caused hundreds of deaths and injuries on both sides, extensive damage to civilian infrastructure and hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons"

internally displaced? Wel ~1,000,000 Lebanese externally-displaced?

"Hello? What's that now? Oh. No, sorry. I don't think so. No, I don't think any of them were Jews. Yes, yes. Indeed. Yes sir, Mr President. I will go fuck myself. What's that? Oh okay, sure. We'll ALL go fuck ourselves. Come again? Not all of us? Yes, sure, with the exception of the Arab leaders. My bad, yes, so-called leaders. Inshala mawlaana, a7sant yejzaak bel jannah wild 3amy."

Exhibit A:

"encouraging the efforts aimed at urgently settling the issue of the Lebanese prisoners detained in Israel"

Exhibit B:

"emphasizing the need to address urgently the causes that have given rise to the current crisis, including by the unconditional release of the abducted Israeli soldiers"

Did you get it, or should I get the President on the phone 3alashan yetarjem lekom what that means again?

Ba3dain ta3al ya mama, haak ragmy ent bas deg 3alay o ana eb nafsi will "address the causes that have given rise to the current crisis".
Look in your blood(y) archives, Mr Secretary General. Pussy

And also, just because I'm a Care Bear - or Carebear, or care-bear .. hmm, I'm an Arab - so if I wanted to follow the example of my "leaders" I would have to obssess with this stuff. This is all that concerns me. You know what? I'm going to New York to check how to write it. But first, I'll have to fight with my fellow Arabs on who gets on the plane.

Enzain,, because I care, here is something (not)worthy of sharing:

"Calls for a full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hezbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations"

In particular <-
Hizbollah attacks <-
Israeli offensive military operations <-

Maby a7alif, but I have NO DOUBT IN MY MIND WHATSOEVER that someone in the room where this resolution was put together has raised their hand, and asked: "should we write down 'Israeli defensive military operations', or would that be over-killing it?'

*Silence*

That is all. Let's just say that my imaginery phonecall with Mr President makes a lot more sense, and is a lot more worthy to "live by" than the UNSCR 1701.

PS: If you had Olmert's mobile number right now, what would you write to him in an SMS? Regarding his three set goals. Me? I would write: "6ab winnaby ma tegee enkannkin ya Yehud .. ? :)"
