Bad situation. The Spanish UN “peacekeeper” was supposedly killed in the Israeli counter-attack, so now the EU is all riled up (against Israel, of course).
No one should be fooled by those who claim UN forces are “peacekeepers”. They are well armed forces placed in an active war zone by countries that have chosen to involve themselves in the conflict.
Besides the fact that we were all told repeatedly in 2006 that UNIFIL would be greatly strengthened, the F in UNIFIL stands for forces. It’s not called UNIPIL.
