France President Emmanuel Macron has been really on fire recently, directly facing Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Macron unceremoniously reminded Netanyahu: Don't forget that Israel was created by a UN resolution.
As soon as these words came out, Netanyahu was willing to show weakness and immediately shot back: Israel was fought by the "war of independence" and has nothing to do with UN resolutions!
It all started with United Nations Resolution 181 of 1947.
At that time, the United Kingdom's mandate in Palestine was coming to an end, and the United Nations decided, well, that the land would be divided into two halves, one Arab and the other.
As a result, the Jews felt that this was a godsend, but the Arabs blew up.
In 1948, a "war of independence" was vigorously fought, and the Jews, with their tenacious will to fight and the support of the outside world, defeated today's Israel.
Macron referred to this resolution, and he felt that since the United Nations said that it would create two states, Israel had to play by the rules of the game.
But Netanyahu didn't buy it, he said, resolutions are resolutions, actual combat is actual combat, without the blood of our fighters, where is Israel today?
This topic is simply a "powder keg" of problems left over from history, and it will explode at the first mention of it.
However, the trigger for this "war of words" was actually Israel's ground offensive in southern Lebanon.
Israel and Allah, old rivals for many years. Allah, Lebanon's rebel, has been fighting Israel. No, there have been fights again recently, and UNIFIL is still lying on its guns.
UNIFIL, the full name of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, is the backbone of peacekeeping.
But this time, a number of UNIFIL personnel were injured by Israel's attack, can France and other 40 contributing countries not be angry?
Lebanon was a former colony of France, and every time Macron visited Lebanon, the Lebanon people regarded him as a savior.
Israel tossed Lebanon so much, Macron's face was dull, naturally very angry.
Macron said it was "deliberately targeted" and simply "absolutely unacceptable". The France Foreign Ministry even summoned the Israel ambassador to France, saying that this was "a serious violation of international law and must be stopped immediately."
But what about Netanyahu? Not only did he not take it, but he hardened it.
He said that Israel will not unilaterally cease fire, because Allah is a "terrorist organization" and must be fought!
Speaking of which, we'll have to interject. Although Allah is a "villain" in the eyes of many people, in the hearts of the Lebanon people, it is a "righteous force" against aggression.
Israel's blow has caused the Lebanon people to suffer. That's why Macron is so anxious, calling for an "immediate and lasting" ceasefire, saying that "the Lebanon people cannot be victims, and Lebanon cannot become a new Gaza."
But how can Netanyahu listen? He also accused Macron and others of "hypocrisy" in calling for arms embargoes against countries that seek to limit Israel's ability to defend itself.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. Is Israel defending itself? Encroaching on other people's homes and killing innocents indiscriminately, this is also called self-defense?
Besides, Macron's call for a ceasefire is also based on humanitarian considerations.
This "war of words" is becoming more and more intense, and it also involves Iran and Hamas. Netanyahu said that Iran has not imposed an arms embargo on Allah, Hamas, etc., so why should it ask Israel to embargo?
This sounds quite aggrieved, but if you think about it, isn't Israel "playing a scoundrel"?
Iran is in league with Allah and Hamas, and of course there will be no embargo. But what about Israel? It is the aggressor, how can it be compared with Iran?
France is also really angry this time, and plans to convene an international conference on the situation in Lebanon on 24 October, one of the objectives of which is to guarantee Lebanon's sovereignty.
Now, Netanyahu has even more headaches. After all, France is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and its words still carry weight.
In fact, behind this "war of words", there are still those old problems: territorial disputes, ethnic contradictions, and religious conflicts...... None of these problems can be solved overnight.
To be honest, Israel's image in the international community has indeed collapsed this year. It is not a glorious thing to encroach on other people's homes and kill innocents indiscriminately.
Naturally, Israel wants to be able to complete its work in one battle, turn things upside down, and it is better to pull United States down, defeat all opposition forces in the Middle East in one fell swoop, and completely solve the problem of its own survival in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
He even did not hesitate to start a large-scale killing and war, fighting on multiple fronts, and provoked almost all the big countries.
It's like a gambler who loses to the end and doesn't care about anything.
France scolds and scolds, and Israel may not listen, but the international pressure that accumulates little by little will sooner or later overwhelm Israel.
Until its arrogance was completely interrupted.
