Soldiers from Israel last month during military exercises in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, near the border with Syria. Mizrahi/Getty Images Israel’s assertion last week that it will never give up the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the 1967 war, drew a terse response on Tuesday from the United Nations Security Council, which said that a 35-year-old resolution rejecting Israeli sovereignty over the disputed land remains in effect. The Security Council president for April, Ambassador Liu Jieyi of China, told reporters after a closed meeting that its 15 members had “expressed their deep concern over recent Israeli statements about the Golan, and stressed that the status of the Golan remains unchanged.” He emphasized that Resolution 497 of December 1981, a response to Israel’sannexation of the area that month, had not been rescinded. The resolution states that “the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect.” Mr. Liu’s statement came a week after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel led a highly publicized cabinet meeting in one of the Jewish settlements in the Golan Heights and asserted that the territory had been an “integral part of the land of Israel since ancient times.” Mr. Netanyahu also said that “the time has come for the international community to finally recognize that the Golan Heights will remain under Israel’s sovereignty permanently.” The timing of Mr. Netanyahu’s declaration appeared partly to reflect Israeli concerns over the future of Syria when its civil war, now in its sixth year, is settled. Although no conclusion is yet in sight, diplomatic discussions on how to end the war recently resumed in Geneva with the backing of the United States and Russia. Israeli news media reported earlier in the month that Mr. Netanyahu was worried that language in any negotiated settlement might specify that the Golan Heights belonged to Syria. A day after Mr. Netanyahu spoke, the State Department rejected his assertion. “The U.S. position on the status of the Golan Heights is longstanding and is unchanged,” the State Department spokesman, John Kirby, told reporters. “Every administration on both sides of the aisle since 1967 has maintained that those territories are not part of Israel.” Mr. Kirby said the return of the Golan Heights “should be decided through negotiations between the respective parties,” but that “the current situation in Syria makes it difficult to continue those efforts at this time.” Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said after the Security Council’s meeting on Tuesday that it “completely ignores the reality in the Middle East.” “While thousands of people are being massacred in Syria, and millions of citizens have become refugees, the Security Council has chosen to focus on Israel — the only true democracy in the Middle East,” he said in a statement.
Det finns inget speciellt nytt eller bisarrt i att märka att al - Banna [som startade det Muslimska Brödraskapet] visade ett ivrigt intresse för den estetiska dödskulten. Den klassiska historien om det muslimska brödraskapet, The Society of the Muslim Brothers, av Richard P. Mitchell, som utkom 1969, var ganska klarsynt om detta ämne redan då. Al - Banna kom upp med en dubbel fras om vikten av döden som ett mål för jihad - "konsten i döden" (Fann al - Mawt) och "döden är konst" (al - Mawt Fann). Denna fras blev , i Mitchells beskrivning , en berömd del av al-Bannas arv . För att klippa ihop sina egna parafraser med al - Bannas ord skrev Mitchell: "Koranen har beordrat folk att älska döden mer än livet" (som, kan jag tillägga, är en fras som vi har hört mer än en gång i terroristuttalanden under de senaste åren, till exempel i videobandet som gjordes av den islamistiska gruppen som attackerade Madrid 2004) . Och al-Banna fortsatte, i Mitchells presentation: "Om inte den filosofin i Koranen om döden ersätter kärleken till livet som har infiltrerat muslimer, kommer de ingenstans. Seger kan bara komma med att behärska konsten om döden."Att, som de svenska blaskorna, gråta över ödet för medlemmar av MB som ser döden som högre än livet, tycer på en enorm okunnighet. Eller har de läst den svenska Wikin, som bara förhärligar dem och hänvisar till Hjärpe och Gardell. Åtminston gjorde den det tills för ett par år sedan när jag försökte lägga till stycket om "kritik" från den engelska Wikin. Några rester är kvar av det.....
Läs Berman innan du gråter för ödet för det muslimska brödraskapet.
