Forty-seven years of failure in Lebanon
On August 25, the UN Security Council (UNSC) adopted Resolution 2790, ending the mandate for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) after nearly 47 years. The decision is unprecedented – not only because it marks the conclusion of an international mission that lasted nearly five decades, but also because of the messages and provisions it contains. While it represents a significant diplomatic achievement for Israel, it also underscores a shared recognition of UNIFIL’s utter failure. In addition, the resolution raises questions regarding the international community’s ability to genuinely understand the challenge represented by Hezbollah’s Iranian-supported military dominance of Lebanon.

Dear Sarit,
I think most of us have had our fill of UNIFIL!!!
The sooner they are removed the sooner things can improve. They are an impediment to enforcement as their performance record proves. Let us remove all the false facades of the enforcement of justice with TRUE ENFORCEMENT of TRUE JUSTICE !!!
The legitimacy of the existance of the entire UN itself is now in question.
Dear Sarit,
As I continue to ponder this bizarre problem of the UNIFIL historical record you have so fully documented and exposed for years:
To allow any further participation of this dysfunctional corrupted organization in Lebanon would indicate that the USA and Israel will now follow the mad terrorists who manipulate UNIFIL into the black hole of delusion.
Dear Sarit,
The “UNI-FIL” (the “one” time fourty seven year process to “fill” Lebanon with jihaddist terrorists) has been one time too many, and has been an investment toward disaster that ultimately wasted all of our financial investment. UNIFIL aided terrorism instead of preventing it. Let us not continue ONE CENT MORE of this BLACK HOLE investment. Jihaddists must be DEFEATED not supported.
Dear Sarit,
It was the cry from your soul that reached the throne of God nearly two years ago relating to the “monster” on the northern border that threatened the security of your daughter. He has extended His Right Hand on your behalf. Let us remember:
Let not the rich man glory in his riches,
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the warrior glory in his victory, but
Let him that glories glory in this: That he knows and understands Me, That I AM the LORD who exercises Loving-Kindness Judgement and Righteousness in the earth!
