What did you do in the war, UNIFIL?
You broadcast Israeli troop movements.
by Lori Lowenthal Marcus
09/04/2006, Volume 011, Issue 47
DURING THE RECENT month-long war between Hezbollah and
Israel, U.N. "peacekeeping" forces made a startling
contribution: They openly published daily real-time
intelligence, of obvious usefulness to Hezbollah, on
the location, equipment, and force structure of
Israeli troops in Lebanon.
UNIFIL--the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, a
nearly 2,000-man blue-helmet contingent that has been
present on the Lebanon-Israel border since 1978--is
officially neutral. Yet, throughout the recent war, it
posted on its website for all to see precise
information about the movements of Israeli Defense
Forces soldiers and the nature of their weaponry and
materiel, even specifying the placement of IDF safety
structures within hours of their construction. New
information was sometimes only 30 minutes old when it
was posted, and never more than 24 hours old.
Meanwhile, UNIFIL posted not a single item of specific
intelligence regarding Hezbollah forces. Statements on
the order of Hezbollah "fired rockets in large numbers
from various locations" and Hezbollah's rockets "were
fired in significantly larger numbers from various
locations" are as precise as its coverage of the other
side ever got.
This war was fought on cable television and the
Internet, and a lot of official information was
available in real time. But the specific military
intelligence UNIFIL posted could not be had from any
non-U.N. source. The Israeli press--always eager to
push the envelope--did not publish the details of
troop movements and logistics. Neither the European
press nor the rest of the world media, though hardly
bastions of concern for the safety of Israeli troops,
provided the IDF intelligence details that UNIFIL did.
A search of Israeli government websites failed to turn
up the details published to the world each day by the
U.N.
Inquiries made of various Israeli military and
government representatives and analysts yielded near
unanimous agreement that at least some of UNIFIL's
postings, in the words of one retired senior military
analyst, "could have exposed Israeli soldiers to grave
danger." These analysts, including a current high
ranking military official, noted that the same
intelligence would not have been provided by the U.N.
about Israel's enemies.
Sure enough, a review of every single UNIFIL web
posting during the war shows that, while UNIFIL was
daily revealing the towns where Israeli soldiers were
located, the positions from which they were firing,
and when and how they had entered Lebanese territory,
it never described Hezbollah movements or locations
with any specificity whatsoever.
Compare the vague "various locations" language with
this UNIFIL posting from July 25:
Yesterday and during last night, the IDF moved
significant reinforcements, including a number of
tanks, armored personnel carriers, bulldozers and
infantry, to the area of Marun Al Ras inside Lebanese
territory. The IDF advanced from that area north
toward Bint Jubayl, and south towards Yarun.
Or with the posting on July 24, in which UNIFIL
revealed that the IDF stationed between Marun Al Ras
and Bint Jubayl were "significantly reinforced during
the night and this morning with a number of tanks and
armored personnel carriers."
This partiality is inconsistent not only with UNIFIL's
mission but also with its own stated policies. In a
telling incident just a few years back, UNIFIL
vigorously insisted on its "neutral ity"--at Israel's
expense.
On October 7, 2000, three IDF soldiers were kidnapped
by Hezbollah just yards from a UNIFIL shelter and
dragged across the border into Lebanon, where they
disappeared. The U.N. was thought to have videotaped
the incident or its immediate aftermath. Rather than
help Israel rescue its kidnapped soldiers by providing
this evidence, however, the U.N. obstructed the
Israeli investigation.
For months the Israeli government pleaded with the
U.N. to turn over any videotape that might shed light
on the location and condition of its missing men. And
for nine months the U.N. stonewalled, insisting first
that no such tape existed, then that just one tape
existed, and eventually conceding that there were two
more tapes. During those nine months, clips from the
videotapes were shown on Syrian and Lebanese
television.
Explaining their eventual about-face, U.N. officials
said the decision had been made by the on-site
commanders that it was not their responsibility to
provide the material to Israel; indeed, that to do so
would violate the peacekeeping mandate, which required
"full impartiality and objectivity." The U.N. report
on the incident was adamant that its force had "to
ensure that military and other sensitive information
remains in their domain and is not passed to parties
to a conflict."
Stymied in its efforts to recover the men while they
were still alive, Israel ultimately agreed to an
exchange in January 2004: It released 429 Arab
prisoners and detainees, among them convicted
terrorists, and the bodies of 60 Lebanese decedents
and members of Hezbollah, in exchange
for the bodies of the three soldiers. Blame for the
deaths of those three Israelis can be laid, at least
in part, at the feet of the U.N., which went to the
wall defending its inviolable pledge never to share
military intelligence about one party with another.
UNIFIL has just done what it then vowed it could never
do. Once again, it has acted to shield one side in the
conflict and to harm the other. Why is this permitted?
For that matter, how did the U.N. obtain such detailed
and timely military intelligence in the first place,
before broadcasting it for Israel's enemies to see?

Those American citizens who haven't yet sworn to die for Israel and Zionism,
should be put in prison as traitors to the New America, one America under

Shut down the UN and put Bush in charge! Bush is the greatest diplomat and
mediator the world has ever known. His middle east strategy alone has saved
millions of lives and restored peace, tranquility and harmony to the region.
Bush, who is also a great neo Con borrow-and-spend capitalist, knows that
right wing moral purity and obedience to the Bible will fix most problems.
Instead of teaching Africans about safe sex and the dangers of AIDS, Bush has
saved the lives and eternal souls of millions by instructing them on
abstinence and not to have sexual relations unless it's expressley for the
purpose of procreation, and never outside of the bonds of Holy Matrimony.
Indeed, why does anyone want the UN when we have the eternal wisdom of Bush,
backed by the neo Cons, the Zionists and the Religious Right!
Pray to The God that this will happen soon.
