Way to go Bolton

People kept complaining that John Bolton, the new United States Ambassador to the United Nations would be unable to get anything done, because he would not be respected by the other nations. We have the answer to that accusation in the Jerusalem Post

"..Following intense US pressure, the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday issued an unprecedented condemnation of Monday's Hizbullah attacks on northern Israel.
This condemnation - slamming Hizbullah by name for "acts of hatred" - marked the first time the Security Council has ever reprimanded Hizbullah for cross-border attacks on Israel. The condemnation followed by two days a failed attempt to get a condemnation issued on Monday, the day of the attack, when Algeria came out against any mention of Hizbullah in the statement.
When asked what changed from Monday to Wednesday, one diplomatic official replied: "John Bolton," a reference to the US ambassador to the UN. Bolton lobbied vigorously for the passage of the statement.

This marks the first time in the history of the UN that an Arab terrorist attack against Jews has been condemned.

It's good to see the US government being consistant in its fight against worldwide Islamic terror. The typical double standard, where terrorist who kill Jews are called activists, leads to terror against everyone. This type of condemnation, which hopefully should be followed by Israeli (anf US) military action against Hezbollah and its sponsors Syria and Iran.
