1. Some notion that UNIFIL is impartial and doing their job honorably - which is demonstrably false.

In general there have been failures. In this case they seem to be agreeing with Israeli versions of the events. I categorically reject the notion that this was somehow a preplanned attack with UN support. I would need to see any form of evidence of that, which hasn’t been presented.

2. Some notion that the UN in general is fair to Israel - which is demonstrably false.


Agreed.

3. Some notion that the blue helmets are, in general, effective - which is demonstrably false.

Define what you think the objectives of peacekeeping are. I highly suspect you will be totally off the mark.


4. Some notion that somehow Lebanon and the Hezzies are not to blame for this - which is demonstrably false.

Looks like Lebanese army to me.
