When you fly your flag next to that of the terrorists, you deserve whatever you get!

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan charged early Wednesday morning that Israel deliberately targeted a United Nations post in Lebanon late Tuesday night, killing four UNIFIL members.
They were part of the international body's peace keeping force in Lebanon that was created in 1978 after the beginning of the Peace for Galilee Campaign, Dan Gillerman, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations said he was "shocked" by Annan's accusations and demanded an apology.
How much does an UN observer make today?
I understand the Chinese embassy flattened by Clinton during his Sarajevo bombing campaign was a source of constant radio traffic.
If we had electronic emission signatures we would surely learned that Israel bombed the forward UN post because it was providing either C&C or foward observer data.
It is possible that it was a less noticeable contribution: that they simply were allowing terrorists to hide behind the UN label.
After all the terrorists are using red crosses on vehicles, hiding in schools and hospitals, and fighting in civilian clothing. They certainly would hide at a UN "safe" area.
And the UN guys would have known it.
Israel sent a massive message to others who would try the same.
hmmmm.... I wonder if the UNIFfys were serving as ARTY FOs and the IDF (Mossad) found out about it, hmmmmmmmmmm.......
So what was the purpose of them being there in the first place, except drawing a pretty good salary???
that's why Israel hit an ambulance. Palestinians use ambulances to move around their senior people and weapons.
Intel proably indicated a senior Hezzie like Nassrallah might be inside.
To a tune of a pretty good salary, therefore NOT interesting in solving any problem in the long term!!!
No two ways about it.
Observe and report. They had NO edict to intervene
I was wondering if this could be a setup? Hezbollah knew Israrl was bombing close by and decided to murder these UN personnel to make it look like Israel did it?

Israel may definitely be the blame for these deaths this time, but the rush to judge and criticize Israel, has in the past been wrong until the investigations are completed.
No matter how the deaths occurred, it is a very sad incident.
are you accusing them of not shooting at israeli forces ?
I guess that's his last volley on the way out. How irresponsible.
so I'd bet pesos to peanuts that Israel had to act to protect its troops and stop the UN spies who were giving movement and other info to the Hezzies...
-------
An Israeli spokesman has said there will be an investigation.
IMO it's more likely that the scum hez'b'allah were responsible.
He is a EVIL, UGLY, SMELLY, lying,corrupt creep, why are we allowing the U.N. to remain in our great country
Thanks for the video.
That's been reported a number of times. Iran said it had sent 3 ambulances there and planned on sending 20 more. Gee, I wonder why?
Allegations of UN workers spying is not new. It's certainly a possibility that Israel got rid of them.
On the other hand, it's also very possible that Hezballah did it themselves.
Didn't Iran also pledge to send the suicide bomber brigade into action? Seems likely to me that they would use ambulances to do so.
I heard yesterday that the UN station was 400 yds from a Hezbollah strong hold. The strong hold was being bombarded constantly. How could they believe that they were safe?
