While I appreciate this enormous and challenging task -- this UN Peace keeping didn't help / stop Israel and Hezbollah trading blows over the fence since 08 October 2023 and then escalating into the current full blown war

Now smack bang in the middle of this war, these UN Peace keepers are staying put instead of withdrawing to the side lines or getting out altogether -- hindering Israel's operations and human shielding Hezbollah -- I am baffled

Besides 18 years on, Hezbollah has not disarmed as per the UN resolution 1701 following the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah conflict, raising concerns about the effectiveness of UN resolutions aimed at disarming terror outfits

The PLO was notorious and Arafat a man with many faults. He failed in attaining the goal he set for himself, the establishment of a state in his lifetime, but he was not a radical islamist /jihadist. Today we are dealing with another kind of enemy.
