Treasure it. A brief moment of clarity from a U.N. official. U.N. Chief Calls Hezbollah ‘Cowards’ for Blending With Refugees. He’s the “U.N. Humanitarian Chief” and his name is Jan Egeland.

“Consistently, from the Hezbollah heartland, my message was that Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending … among women and children,” he said. “I heard they were proud because they lost very few fighters and that it was the civilians bearing the brunt of this. I don’t think anyone should be proud of having many more children and women dead than armed men.”

Nevertheless, the same gentleman has called Israel’s actions “disproportionate” and “a violation of international humanitarian law.” By so spreading the blame, he dilutes any effectiveness he might otherwise have had in condemning Hezbollah’s scum-of-the-earth tactics. They will hear what they want to hear: “U.N. Chief says Israel violates international law,” and just shrug off any criticism of their strategy of hiding behind civilians.

Well, I said not to blink.
