They’re supposed to be “peacekeepers” but are incapable of keeping any sort of peace.
They’ve been incapable of enforcing Resolution 1701, that was supposed to keep Hezbollah above the Litani River border area. They did nothing to enforce it. They’ve done nothing but watch while Hezbollah builds tunnels right under their nose that was also going to be used to attack Israel. They’ve done nothing to stop the buildup of Hezbollah’s terror bases in southern Lebanon. They’ve done nothing to stop the thousands of rockets that Hezbollah has attacked Israel with.
It’s an utter wasteful organization that essentially bleeds resources dry with absolutely zero results to show for it.

. There is no enemy [inaudible] in a peacekeeping force. UNIFIL is a peacekeeping force. It’s not a Israeli combat force or an anti-terror force, as they would like it to be. As long as we don’t serve their direct interests, they are going to denigrate it as much as they can.

Perhaps you expect too much? I mean, part of their original mission was to get Israel out of Lebanon, but Israel seems to be in Lebanon, so they must be failing, and maybe Lebanon should shoot at them for that failure?
