re: #316 lawhawk

UNIFIL is meant as a go-between along the border to enforce the border. That’s part of their job to protect Lebanon’s territorial integrity. The problem is that UNIFIL was also supposed to disarm Hizbullah and all the other militias and it’s been an abject failure in that department.

Moreover, Hizbullah has coopted the Lebanese government and the military such that their own terrorists are now embedded within the military.

I just don’t understand how their SOP for getting the Israelis attention in real-time is to yell at the top of their lungs in english “STOP STOP! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!”

If there was some sort of problem, why wasn’t Israel notified when UNIFIL was first told about the plan? Why wasn’t their some sort of radio or other means of communication with the Israeli soldiers?

What would have happened if a UN vehicle drove down the hill towards the Israelis to speak to them in person?

I just feel like I am missing a piece of this, before I can entertain the possibility of this whole thing being a genuine misunderstanding
