    Well, when you don’t do your jobs and don’t force the Hez to stop firing missiles into Israeli civilian areas for a year, which forces the IDF to take action, and you ignore the notification of said actions taking place near you and refuse to evacuate, then the results are on you.

  2. Maybe it should be a crime to completely fail at enforcing the resolution they were put there for in the first place.

    Edit: Also, it costs us money!

    “In 2023, Congress appropriated $143 million to UNIFIL, accounting for over one-quarter of the peacekeeping body’s approximately $510 million budget. Since the war in 2006, Washington has spent more than $2.5 billion to support UNIFIL.”

    So we pay for the Israeli bombs, then we pay for aid to the bombed areas, all the while we pay these UN jokers who are supposed to be keeping Hezbollah away from the border. So basically we are getting triple fucked with our money going to all of this shit.

    What a useless Sec Gen this GUTIERREZ really is !

    Israel asked UNIFIL to evacuate. Gutierrez should ORDER them to leave.

    After 2 decades of supporting Hezbollah in VIOLATION of the UN own resolution, is UNIFIL now trying to become Hizbollah’s martyrs ?

    Useless Gutierrez, do your fuckin job, for a change.

  4. **UN**: Attacks on UNIFIL are a war crime!

    **Israel**: Then please evacuate them so they’re not in harm’s way.

    **UN**: NO!

  5. Yeah and I’m pretty sure unrwa employing active terror cells into their ranks constitutes some nasty name-calling, too.

  6. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed that you can get away with war crimes, as long as you have nukes.

  7. Burning through $500M/year with negative results may be a war crime… Oops, that’s just UNIFaIL budget.

  8. It comes down to the UN being an absolute joke. Most of the time it seems like the good things they do are in spite of themselves. Like the NORDBAT 2 stuff that happened in former Yugoslavia only being effective in their mission to protect civilians because they ignored the UN and their own government to do the right thing because they understood the situation on the ground.

    If the peacekeepers they send aren’t authorized to actually keep the peace they should be pulled out.

  9. How long until it comes out that UNIFIL has mostly Hezbollah as their employee “peacekeepers”?

  10. But it’s not a war crime if members of UNIFIL support terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah? Got it…
