Waiting for the U.N.

Posted by ARI Media at 7:19 PM

Irvine, CA—"Israel should continue to expand its offensive in Lebanon, not wait for a worthless U.N. resolution," said Dr. Yaron Brook, executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute.

"All a U.N. agreement will do is tie Israel's hands while an ineffective U.N. peacekeeping force fails to stop Hezbollah from regrouping, rearming and preparing for its next campaign of destruction.

"What else can be expected of an organization that claims to be concerned with Israel's security, while its own Human Rights Council is issuing condemnations of Israel for actually taking action to achieve that security?

"No wonder Ayn Rand referred to the U.N. as 'that contemptible citadel of global hypocrisy.'"
