What did you do in the war, UNIFIL?

Not only that, there was detailed report yesterday on France TV5 that the
IDF was showing a very elaborate Hezbollah underground bunker a few yards
from the UNFIL observation post which was almost over it, all equiped with
the latest technology, that they showed couldn't have been dug out and built
withtout the knowledge and complicity of UNFIL observers.
Add that, and all they have done there until now, ever since their role in
the first abduction of soldiers years ago, to your report, we see that the
UN role there has been a joke until now.
But now they have a different mandate, the US and France are on the same
wavelenght, there are different forces, I think it will change although only
time will tell. With verification of its shattered integrity this time.
Indeed the UN needs to be scrutinized!

Annan: Israel guilty of truce violations
UN secretary-general meets with Defense Minister Peretz, slams Israel
for violating southern Lebanon ceasefire. Annan also calls on Israel to
lift aerial, naval blockade imposed on Lebanon since beginning of war
Neta Sela Published: 08.29.06, 22:02
Israel is responsible for most ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon
, according to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.
Crucial Meeting
Captives' families: Annan gave no new information / Neta Sela
Kidnapped soldiers' families disappointed following meeting with UN
secretary-general, who failed to provide any new information on their
loved ones. Earlier, Eldad Regev's brother says, 'we expect Annan to
work for immediate sign of life.' Ehud Goldwasser's wife: We want to
see acts, not just hear nice words
Full story
The UN chief made the scathing remarks Tuesday during his meeting with
Defense Minister Amir Peretz , which followed a meeting with families
of the abducted Israel Defense Forces soldiers. He said that the aim
should be to strengthen the truce in conjunction with ongoing political
efforts in order to ensure the ceasefire holds.
Annan also called on Israel to lift the aerial and naval blockade
imposed on Lebanon since the beginning of the war. At this time,
however, Israel has no intention of complying with the request.

According to Annan, lifting the blockade would allow Lebanon to renew
normal economic activity and rehabilitate its economy, hard hit by the
recent war. He also called for an end to arms shipments to Hizbullah
and joint action for peace in a bid to avoid another round of violence
in the future.
The UN head expressed his hope that French and Italian forces arrive in
the region this Friday, thus allowing the international force to double
its presence from 2,500 to 5,000 troops relatively rapidly.
The implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701 is not a minor
matter, but rather, an important one, he said, and called on both sides
to implement the decision.
Peretz, meanwhile, expressed his hope that the arms embargo on Lebanon
will be implemented. He said that he also that in his talk with the UN
head he emphasized the need to secure the release of the abducted
soldiers, and added that Annan said he viewed it as an important
matter.

In fact Olmert wants the soldiers back first as the resolution calls for.
Annan in fact called for the unconditional liberation of the prisoners held
by the lebanese terrorists.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/08/30/mideast.annan/index.html
It is not a hear say by Perez!
Reuters goes further about what ytnews calls the "slaming" of Israel by
Annan:
"There isn't that much of a difference between Prime Minister Olmert and
myself," Annan told a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah when
asked about the apparent failure of his bid to strengthen the 2-week-old
ceasefire.
Big slamming! LOL What is ytnews anyway?
Here is the full Reuter's article:
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=worldNews&storyID=2006-08-30T144838Z_01_L13492527_RTRUKOC_0_US-MIDEAST.xml&src=083006_1059_TOPSTORY_olmert_rebuffs_annan
Israel rejects U.N. blockade appeal
Wed Aug 30, 2006 10:48am ET
By Luke Baker
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel rejected a call by U.N. Secretary General Kofi
Annan on Wednesday to lift its air and sea blockade of Lebanon, saying it
would only end the 7-week-old siege once all aspects of a ceasefire were in
place.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert also told Annan he would not withdraw Israeli
troops fully from southern Lebanon until the full implementation of the
ceasefire, which took effect on August 14 and ended 34 days of conflict with
Hizbollah guerrillas.
Olmert's statements effectively amounted to a rejection of the two main
requests Annan had come to Jerusalem to discuss, but Annan later played down
the differences of opinion, saying his and Olmert's thinking were not so far
apart.
"There isn't that much of a difference between Prime Minister Olmert and
myself," Annan told a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah when
asked about the apparent failure of his bid to strengthen the 2-week-old
ceasefire.
Annan, who visited Lebanon on Monday and Tuesday, later left for Amman,
where he will meet Jordan's King Abdullah and Foreign Minister Abdelelah
al-Khatib on Thursday. Annan's Middle East tour also includes Syria and
Iran.
During an hour of talks with Olmert, Annan said he pressed for a lifting of
the embargo, imposed after the start of the war against Hizbollah on July
12, on economic grounds.
Olmert said any relaxation of pressure on Lebanon's ports and airspace
depended on the full implementation of U.N. resolution 1701, which governs
the ceasefire with Hizbollah.
"The (resolution) is a fixed buffet and everything will be implemented,
including the lifting of the blockade, as part of the entire implementation
of the different articles," he said.
Olmert was equally firm when Annan suggested Israel should withdraw its
troops from Lebanon within "days or weeks" once up to 5,000 U.N.-backed
peacekeepers are on the ground.
"Israel will pull out of Lebanon once the resolution is implemented," Olmert
said, indicating a longer timeline.
The U.N. force in south Lebanon, UNIFIL, said Israeli troops withdrew from
near three villages in the far southeast of Lebanon on Wednesday. UNIFIL
will patrol the area to make sure the Israelis are not present in the area,
a statement added.
ECONOMIC MILLSTONE
Olmert reiterated his call for the U.N. force to be deployed not just in
southern Lebanon but along the border with Syria, a deployment that the U.N.
resolution makes dependent on a request from the Lebanese government.
Annan had made lifting the blockade his top priority for his visit to
Israel, after describing it as a "humiliation" for Lebanon as well as an
economic millstone.
The secretary-general said he hoped to double to 5,000 the number of U.N.
troops in Lebanon soon and urged Israel and Hizbollah to end swiftly
disputes blocking a lasting ceasefire.
Resolution 1701 calls for a deployment of 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers by
November 4, alongside Lebanese army forces.
In another sign that Annan had made little progress in his discussions with
Israeli leaders, he did not take questions from journalists after meeting
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and neither was forthcoming about their
hour-long talks.
Annan restricted himself to saying he hoped resolution 1701 could be the
basis for a durable peace.
On a visit to southern Lebanon on Tuesday, Annan said "serious irritants" to
the truce were also the fate of captured Israeli soldiers and that of
Lebanese prisoners held in Israel.
Lebanese Energy and Water Minister Mohammed Fneish, one of two Hizbollah
ministers in the government, said the Shi'ite Muslim movement would free the
two Israeli soldiers it seized on July 12 only as part of a prisoner
exchange.
"The goal of this operation (on July 12) was to conduct indirect
negotiations and a swap. This was the position before the (Israeli)
aggression and it's only natural to reinforce it after the aggression," he
told a news conference.
On Israel's other front, Israeli forces killed three Palestinian gunmen and
four civilians on Wednesday, pressing on with an offensive in an Islamic
militant stronghold in Gaza City, medics and witnesses said.
The latest casualties in the Shijaia neighborhood raised to 13 the number of
Palestinians killed over the past 24 hours in Israeli attacks on militants
in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
After talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank town
of Ramallah, Annan said he supported the idea of a Palestinian unity
government that Palestinian leaders hope could ease foreign sanctions
imposed after Hamas won elections.
"This is a very important process," he said. Abbas has renewed efforts to
create a partnership between his Fatah movement and the governing Hamas
militant group.

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

Meanwhile, UNIFIL posted not a single item of specific intelligence
regarding Hezbollah forces. Statements on the order of Hezbollah "fired

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.

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

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.
