#2 If you are supposed to be the impartial referee at a wrestling match, and the wrestlers are shooting guns, then why are you there? Why would your employer insist that you pretend it’s still a wrestling match, not a gunfight

#4 UNIFIL know their wrong. All Israel had to do was to look up what they had done in other conflicts…pull out or retreat! The UN is hedging their bets that Trump won’t win in November.

#5 CNN: Who makes up UNIFIL?
The mission is made up of more than 10,000 personnel from 50 countries, the majority of whom are troops. Indonesia, Italy, India, Nepal, Ghana and Malaysia contribute the most troops. Spain, China, Ireland and France also make up a large presence. Some countries contribute only one UNIFIL troop, like the United Kingdom, Peru and Nigeria.
The peacekeepers operate in a 410 square mile area between the Blue Line and the Litani River in southern Lebanon. They hold 50 positions, with the UNIFIL headquarters situated in Naqoura in the southwest of the country.

#8 UNFIL can't leave. That would mean abandoning their mission to act as human shields for Hezbollah.

#9 UNIFIL has been warned:

“Israel has the right to defend itself against Hezbollah and will continue to do so. We regret any harm that may befall UNIFIL personnel. The Israeli Armed Forces are doing their best to prevent such incidents. However, the best way to ensure the safety of UNIFIL personnel is for UNIFIL to respond to Israel’s request and temporarily move away from danger areas.”

- Netanyahu
