Arab League Says No to 'Jewish State'

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Arab League said no to a Jewish state and agreed that Lebanon has a right to use any means at its disposal to defend itself against "Israeli aggression."

In a seven-page resolution, the ministers agreed that Israel was to blame for failed peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. They said there could not be a "comprehensive" peace deal that doesn't include the "right of return" for these so-called refugees.

The ministers also affirmed Lebanon's right to "liberate or retrieve" Sheba Farms and Kfar Shuba Hills, which sit just below Mount Hermon overlooking the Hula Valley, and the village of Ghajar, which is partly in Israel and partly in Lebanon.

"Lebanon and the Lebanese have the right to liberate or retrieve the Sheba Farms, Kfar Shuba Hills and the Lebanese part of the Ghajar village and to resist any Israeli aggression or occupation with all legitimate and available means," the ministers stated.
