#1 Don't forget that there are French, German and Russian troops in Lebanon to ensure that Israel does nothing to prevent Iran hegemony in a country where Christians were a majority until recently.

#2 Oh, I son't think it's that specific, Sneaze Shaiting3550. Those who sent the French, German and Russian troops don't care who wins, so long as Israel loses.

#3 "The flyovers harm the credibility of UNIFIL, the credibility of the LAF and the credibility of the state of Lebanon,"

This particular flyover statement crashes and burns;....CREDIBILITY; capable of being believed. Worthy of belief or confidence, trustworthy.
Let the flyovers continue, case closed.

#4 The flyovers harm the credibility of UNIFIL, the credibility of the LAF and the credibility of the state of Lebanon

Pathetic. To begin with, UNIFIL has no credibility. Neither does the Lebanese "government(s)". Surreptitiously giving it "credibility" by making it the founding assumption of this accusation doesn't fly with me.

And, supposing there actually was some glimmer of credibility, the flyovers would just be showing that UNIFIL and the Lebanese "government(s)" are not doing their sacred duty. And people are going to die because of it. Can't have plausible deniability if the Israelis have evidence!

I think this may well be one of the reasons may be behaving in such a cooperative manner. Hopefully the evidence they gather ends up burying the UN once and for all.

#6 In violation, blah blah blah. The UN works so hard to undermine civilization. High salaried wannabe diplomats. But the rubber never seems to meet the road. League of nations, 1938 - That is what you preside over, Kofi.
