    This is not to justify or ignore any intentional attacks on them (if that is occurring)

    But literally why do they want to be there? What are they even doing right now?

    So UNIFIL peacekeepers:

    1. Make no effort to actually do their job of keeping Hezbollah away from the border with Israel.

    2. Stand by while Hezbollah fires rockets at Israeli civilians and plans an invasion of Israel and mass murder.

    3. Let Hezbollah terrorists operate right next to UNIFIL forces.

    4. Refuse to leave their positions so IDF can do UNIFIL’s job.

    5. Cry that evil Israel is making unreasonablre demands and putting UNIFIL peacekeepers at risk.

    Yeah, sounds on par with the rest of the UN’s open terrorism support.

    “we are not giving in to Israel’s demand to us to stay alive!”

    Funny how they had zero issues leaving when Egypt wanted them to leading up to the Six Day War.

    Why does anyone still bother with UNIFIL, they have never achieved anything significant only in minor conflicts that did not involve states but rather rogue militias either fighting each other or abusing civilians.

    They better be paid a fuckton of money because there’s no way in hell I’d want to be one. Every day you’re surrounded by terrorists and a country that will kill you if you stand in its way, yet the orders from above are to stay put instead of getting the fuck out. There’s no peace there, so why would peacekeepers even be stationed?

  7. I have a strong suspicion that someone in being paid a lot by a certain axis to stay there

    i guess they have a job to do – to be the human shields (whether that willing or unwilling, I don’t know)

  9. Think_Practice_9181 on

    Well don’t come crying when you die protecting terrorists.

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

  10. Am I stupid to think peace keepers are currently in a war zone shows how little they can actually help a situation that requires both sides to actually want peace.

    Fuck the UN. How is it so many countries are blind to what the fuck is going on?

    They are merely becoming tools in Hezbollah’s “human shield” tactics. It’s embarrassing enough that they failed for years to prevent those fanatics from attacking Israel from the ‘demilitarized’ zone, and now they’re even trying to hinder Israel from defending itself. The UN is increasingly becoming a sad joke and terror organisation sidekick.

  13. Angelcstay on

    Good. They better stay true to their word.

    At this point its natural selection.

  14. I hope the IDF gets dragged to court for attacking peacekeeping forces. It’s simply shameful and there’s no excuse for it.

  15. Psychological-Part1 on

    Then they will die.

    Reddit will downvote me because people live in blissful ignorance of the truth.

    Damn, these people are being used as pawns for the UN’s game against Israel. Sucks for everyone involved except HA and Iran I guess.

    The UN has always been a waste of money and most of its combatants are incredibly useless. They have never done any good and have stood by while Hezbollah does its thing against Israel. Nothing but grandstanding

  18. Glass-Mess-6116 on

    Weird the UN is even keeping them in positions there at this point. Basically setting them up to get bombed by one side or the other. The mandate failed. Israel is going to do want any state would do in the face of rocket attacks and Hezbollah is going to fight them because they want to keep shooting rockets and fighting Israel.

    UN troops are useless there and the UN should just concede at this point because it’s just a sham. Neither party in any of this is supporting the mandate and all these guys are is just potential collateral damage for bad press. 

    Which maybe some people in the UN want, but seems counterintuitive to the spirit of the organization. Unless Ireland or someone is looking to declare war on Israel and needs a reason. 

  19. dzernumbrd on

    Fuck around, find out.

    Israel doesn’t make idle threats from what I’ve seen of them.

    I would take their warning seriously unless you want to die.

  20. Has anyone asked the actual people on the ground if they want to be human shields, or just the higher ups?
