The rest of us are discussing military stuff, and once again you are throwing your third party, emotional reactions into this thread.

Maybe consider posting your frustration with the Israelies elsewhere. (There are plenty of folks here on PPRuNe who share your frustration).

What you post ends up as aiding and abetting Hezbollah in the war of words - a murderous, terroristic army within Lebanon funded by a foreign power. That armed group - a lot like your IRA - counts on the kind of tunnel vision you embrace.
The legitimate government of Lebanon has been unable to lance that political boil for about 40 years.
Hezbollah are a part of the problem, NOT part of the solution.

You are their weapon, and you don't seem to realize it.

They are getting what they deserve, because they have chosen to embrace the bidding of their foreign master at the expense of the entire nation of Lebanon...who they have dishonestly claimed to have joined as a political faction. And because of their allegiance to Iran, not their home country, Lebeanon needs more help than the pathetic presence of UNIFIL - which "citizens of the world" somehow expect to be able to do more than report on violations of the Peace - abuse of the word - agreement agreed in about 2006.

(And you can argue previous "agreements" that are not worth the paper they were written on.)

The folks who serve in UNIFIL are put at risk by the fools who believe that the UN is useful in this case.
It is not. It has not been for decades.

As to the war correspondents.
Every war correspondent knows that if they cover an area of conflict they are at risk. I got to have a long talk with Joe Galloway about that, some years ago.

Suggested reading for you: Chris Hedges, outspoken critic of the US War in Iraq and a war correspondent for a few decades
