Professor Raymond Murphy talks about why a potential clash between the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, and the Israeli military would be futile for the UNIFIL peacekeepers.

UN Peacekeepers have the right to defend themselves, and every member state of the UN has a duty to protect them. Israel has to be expelled from the UN, immediately.
UN has a right to defend themselves, just like Palestine and Lebanon.
Just like Israel.
The UN forces should get out from Lebanon they are corrupt and they have been doing nothing but help in the terrorist
UN complicit in holocaust. Article 6 should have been invoked in first month. There are no excuses. No more blah blah. Every single one should be charged with aiding and abetting US/Israhell. Legacy of all: holocaust of children and totally innocent defenceless people. Cruel, barbaric terrorism. To think that the world expected them to stand by their own charter and international laws and to not only betray humanity but every single basic right shows this war criminal institutions need to be abolished once and for all. To think they got themselves high wages of the world’s tax payers is beyond criminal. This includes ICJ, ICC. We will simply have to make this a reality.
They dont want any witnesses to the war crimes
Previous UNIFIL deployments have included artillery and main battle tanks (French Leclerc type). If the contributing states see fit, they can give the force what it needs to defend itself against Israeli attack.
That’s a ridiculous way to die. Im sorry but if you’re not Israeli or Lebanese then leave than border asap
@@Tobyyy24 truer words havent been said. This is a conflict which the UN will not solve peacefully.
Strange the legality and technicality come into play only when an entity asserts against Israel and at the same time Israel can break International law commit war crimes, attack UN agencies and yet is not expelled from UN. Why?
so what is the point of them? they can’t stop Hesbollah attacking Israel so Israel has to defend itself and have sensibly told them to get out of the way.
Or Hisbollah did what the UN refused to do for Gaza? If they would have acted earlier Hisbollah had to reason to intervene?
They are collecting enemies by the day
They could just not leave the area.
Blue helmets are easy to spot!
So basically they have no purpose.
Somebody should tell him laws and policies went out the window a long time ago.
Then what IS the purpose if they can neither protect or defend against an overwhelming, amoral oppressor?
Nothing makes sense
So the unifl are basically a group of people wearing helmets earning wages since 1978 to protect the peace… and then when a war breaks out they can’t actually do anything… where do I sign up? I prefer to be stationed between US and Canada
UN security forces represent the consensus and will of 193 nations. Deliberately attacking them is an act against global security. Israel, a state created by the UN, should be the most respectful of it, its institutions and resolutions. The audacity with which he violates all global consensus with absolute impunity is truly outrageous.
What is the purpose of Unifil if they cant stop Hizballah and 500 meters from their base is a arms cache?
Unifil are peace keeper and not terrorist like IDF
So what is the point if they can’t do anything 🤔
No action just talk after talk
Wise words from a wise man.Thank you sir.
FAKE N PARTIAL U.N
JUST FOR WEST N ISRAEL
Then why are they there? Why does Unifil even exist if it can’t and won’t do anything?
Unifil is nothing and does nothing . they do not keep peace and hezbollah does whatever they want near them so there’s no point for them to be there .
UNIFIL was strongly advised by the Israeli army to leave the war zone, but they declined to do so … 😢
@@samyhazan5606 they don’t take orders from The Xioni$t state.
So in short.. UN is a toothless, neutered tiger and is an entity solely to do bidding of the 5 security Council members 🙃
UNIFIL didn’t do anything for years, and they will continue to do nothing
They are allowed to fire if fired upon. & I assume would.
United nations needs to be disbanded
So Haiti could have attacked the peacekeepers too without any issues?
so UN forces are sitting ducks😮😮😮😮
So then what is their use? They can’t create a buffer zone to deter Hezbollah and can stop Israelite forces nonsense
Their purpose was to ensure Hezbollah stayed behind the Lutani River….it never happened.
What’s the frickin point then- oh dear lord
How about the cache of arms and prepared fighting positions outside the UNIFIL compounds…turn a blind eye I guess
What a shame…
