Investor’s Business Daily accuses the UN of appeasing Hezbollah by putting the Shebaa Farms back on the negotiating table, starkly comparing the situation to the 1938 Munich Agreement between British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain (pictured) and Germany’s Adolf Hitler:
Indeed, the parallels between Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s demand for the “return” of Shebaa farms and Adolf Hitler’s claim on Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland as part of the Third Reich are both striking and disturbing.
In 1938, at the infamous meeting in Munich, Britain and France dismembered Czechoslovakia at Der Fuhrer’s request, in exchange for a promissory note promising “peace in our time.” A few months later, Nazi Germany swallowed Czechoslovakia whole, and a year later the world was at war.
Just as Hitler had bigger plans, so does Nasrallah and his Iranian mentor and nuke-building benefactor, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, who hopes to pick up where Hitler left off.
