They sure don't seem to be keeping the peace very well!
Say whatever happened to that videotape the UN had of Hizballah Terrorists in UN uniforms kidnapping Israeli soldiers?

The guy on the left is watching, the guy on the right is grinning. That's what blue helmet guys do. The impotence your pic displays is why Americans should never wear blue helmets.

The videotape in question was filmed by a member of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a few hours after the abduction of three Israeli soldiers by Hizbullah last October 7.

The videotape shows Hizbullah removing the vehicles they used in the abduction, which were disguised as UN vehicles. The cars were reportedly stained with the blood of the soldiers and, from an investigatory point of view, are important pieces of evidence in piecing together what happened.

Why do you think the terrorist kidnappers disguised themselves as UN personnel if this was a regular war?

My guess would be that they disguised themselves as UN personnel to avoid being attacked, similar to the Palestinians hiding weapons in mosques and filling ambulances with weapons.

Kidnapped. The Red Cross doesn't have access to them, they don't have any of the rights of POWs under the Geneva Convention. They've been kidnapped by a bunch of Muslim gangsters.

Captured, not kinapped. They were in a combat zone, not strolling around in Tel-Aviv in civies.

Huh? They were behind Israel's border, since when is that a combat zone? Oh, I forgot, all of Israel is combat zone. Say... weren't those journalists who got shot in the combat zone?

It looks like the fellow on the left is looking through the wrong end of the binoculars.
