Thanks, I love you too.

Also UNIFIL is supposed to be there to observe the conflict and help where they can.

Um, no. Observation of conflict is not their mandate. They're there to
prevent conflict, to act as peacekeepers, to "restore international peace and security" (a job at which they've consistently failed for the
28 years they've been in Lebanon). They've 'observed' decades of cross-border attacks that have
twice escalated into a full-blown war.

Here's a list of what they do. As you can see there they are evacuating people out of the country, escorting humanitarian convoys where possible, transferring civilians from the IDF to the Lebanese government. Even from a purely utilitarian perspective they've probably saved more lives through being there than not.

Well I'm glad they've found something useful to do to keep themselves busy as they obviously have a lot of time on their hands what with
not doing their job! Medals all around, what.

Good sir, you are one thorough man.

I was just checking if you'd called me a moron before. I seem to recall that you have, but there were too many hits to check through them all.
