He’s not wrong. Looks like he further specified that he’s only talking about the combat zones too. He’s not trying to push the UN out of southern Lebanon.

It’s time we start asking which arms exports are being used to attack UN peacekeepers, and if we, as taxpayers, want to continue helping out anyone who doesn’t respect the international rules based order.

Good luck, Netanyahu. Trying to get something out of the UN is like asking a toddler to stop eating chocolates. It just will not happen.

If those UN Peace Keepers had been doing their job, then there wouldn’t be a war. Seems like a crazy simple solution to this problem.

Imagine this took place in Africa. An African army shot at UN soldiers twice and then said ”This is your own fault, leave if you don’t want to get shot” . We would have no difficulty seeing who the problem was.

In other words, “get out or we will deliberately target you again and call it collateral damage whilst saying “I told u so””
Also quite funny they call UNIFIL Hezbollah’s hostages when they were the one who deliberately targeted UNIFIL. Why would they attack their own hostages? It’s not like they have a history of injuring/killing their own hostages. /s

They want all observers out so they can commit more war crimes without facing consequences or being watched. The current war crimes already committed is a huge list just imagine what they would do without observers.
For context the amount of UN workers killed or injured in this conflict is record setting. That tells you a lot.

The IDF tank didn’t mean to hit the UN guard tower or bunker? They were just in the way of IDF aiming at Hezbollah? Geez! Netanyahu, if you want them removed, then raise that to the UN Security Council and revoke [UN resolution 1701](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1701).

If they can’t stop Hezbollah from attacking Israel constantly, then what good are they? They should just leave

This whole “evacuate for your own safety” line rings hollow when you’re the ones intentionally (and not via collateral damage) making it unsafe. At least be honest and say “get out of the way or we’ll keep shooting you”.
They failed their mission to keep hezbollah off the border. Now I don’t see why they shouldn’t have to move 🤷♂️

Lol check the accounts.
The bot accounts attacking the UN are fucking hilarious.
You’d have to be up there between fucked in the head and completely stupid to be blaming the UN soldiers.

If Netanyahu continues with the attacks on UNIFIL, NATO should respond by military intervention

UNIFIL was supposed to enforce the peace between Israel and Hezbollah after the 2006 war, with a clear mandate: no Hezbollah activity south of the Litani River. But fast forward, and Hezbollah is operating freely in that exact area. While UN peacekeepers stand by, Hezbollah has built one of the world’s largest non-state arsenals and now fires rockets into Israel regularly. To many Israelis, it looks like the peacekeepers are just in the way, unable to stop Hezbollah’s daily missile attacks. It’s a frustrating reality for both sides, with a treaty that’s never truly been enforced.

Shouldn’t the Arab world love someone behaving like one of the most beloved Arab leaders of the modern era?
