Hezbollah, to be precise. During the recent Israel-Hezbollah war, UNIFIL, the 2000 "peacekeeping" troops stationed on the ground in Lebanon, published specific and up-to-date information about the movement, location, and disposition of Israeli troops. This is valuable military-level intelligence we're talking about here.
Did they provide any such information about Hezbollah? Need you even ask? "More missiles were fired from some areas than from others" is about as specific as UNIFIL deigned to get, and you can bet they didn't say which areas those were.
UNIFIL is acting to shield one side from the other, while exposing the Israelis to credible tactical and strategic peril.
And we're funding this agency... because?
