As noted here, it will take more than asking once to make that happen. "Hezbollah rejects call by U.N.'s Ban to disarm," by Dominic Evans for Reuters, January 14:
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah dismissed on Saturday a United Nations call for his militant anti-Israel movement to disarm, saying it was determined to maintain a military capacity to defend Lebanon.
That's what state armies are for. Lebanon has one. Hizballah's forces are ultimately for the sake of Hizballah, to protect it not only from outside intervention, but from challenges from within Lebanon, including government forces.
"I affirm today, firmly, decisively and with the greatest conviction ... the choice of armed resistance," Nasrallah said. "These weapons, along with the Lebanese people and army, are the only guarantee of Lebanon's protection."
Mocking a demand by visiting U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that Hezbollah lay down its weapons, Nasrallah said he was happy that Hezbollah's military prowess was a cause for concern.
"Your concern, Secretary-General, reassures us and pleases us. What matters to us is that you are worried, and that America ... and Israel are worried with you," he said in a televised speech marking a Shi'ite holy day.
Hezbollah, which fought a devastating month-long war with Israel in 2006, has rejected a U.N. Security Council resolution that demands that it lay down its military arsenal, as all other Lebanese armed groups did at the end of the 1975-1990 civil war.
That's Resolution 1559. Not only did Hizballah defy the resolution, they are now better armed than the regular Lebanese army. What could go wrong?
Nasrallah, in hiding since 2006 for fear of assassination, says his movement has been re-arming since the 2006 conflict, when it fired hundreds of rockets across the border daily into northern Israel.
Ban, speaking in Beirut on Friday, said he was "deeply concerned about the military capacity of Hezbollah" and the lack of progress in disarmament. "All these arms outside of the authorized state authority, it's not acceptable," he declared....
That is not the shocking story; a real shocking story is that if Hizballah said "YES" they will disarm
One thing is certain: The Israeli-Lebanese border has been quiet for 5 and a half years and that is because of the ferocity of Israel's 2006 response to Hezbollah incursions. There's a lesson there to all and it is that Muslims respond affirmatively only to those whom they fear and respect.
Hezbollah are waiting for the likes of Iran or Syria to declare a war with Israel, at which time they will jump on the bandwagon. Despite their large arsenal of rockets and other weapons, they know that they are no match for against the IDF.
There are idiots in the Arab world, other than Hezbollah, who believe Israel was defeated in 2006. Israel was not defeated on the battlefield - only in the media. Next time Israel must close its ears to the pleading and begging of the Arab world and western media calling for restraint. Israel, don't make the same mistake twice. Kick their whining backsides until they "beg" for an unconditional ceasefire.
In the meantime Hezbollah will do what they always do - talk big and hide behind civilians readying themselves for when their bosses (Iran & Syria)say go.
Kick their whining backsides until they "beg" for an unconditional ceasefire.
Did I say ceasefire - I meant "Unconditional Surrender". I would like to see it in all Arab print media, broadcast media and even on Facebook. Oh, of course let's see their surrender plea in all western media too. Let's remove any ambiguity about this, so that there is no chance in hell of the defeated claiming a victory.
Show no mercy. Can you imagine what life would be like if Hezbollah, Iran and Syria gained the upper hand. Would there be any Jews left in an Israel occupied by these thugs. You are dead bloody right - Jews would be expelled from their homeland. This is all the more reason to defeat your enemies once and for all. Oh, the victor has the right to claim territory gained in any war. This must be a real war - not a media war.
