Is it OK that Isreal killed UN peace keepers in the name of defending herself?

Question

Sure Isreal was "trying' to free its captured soilders, but is it ok that Isreal killed UN soilders and innocent civilians in the process?

I refer to the Lebanon invasion.

Answer 1

Of course its alright. In fact its admirable and they deserve monetary compensation for there actions. Don't believe me? Just ask them.

Perverted Justice? I'd say so. What would the world have thought if the situation were the same but the deaths were at the hands of the PLO?

Answer 2

Lobbing rockets blindly into civilian parts is with out doubt a conflict crime. no longer something can justify this attack on the most standard criteria for sparing civilians the disadvantages of conflict.

Answer 3

No Israel is a vile little country that was born from acts of terrorism i.e. the bombing of the King David hotel in the late 1940s against a nation that had only just played a vital part in removing the greatest ever threat to Judaism in history.

Israel is a far greater threat than Iran, it has enough nuclear weapons to blow the whole of the middle east of the map and has initiated attacks on its neighbouring states, most notably Palastine. Their being brought to account for the actions is long over due and they are easily the biggest source of instability in the region.

Answer 4

Ever hear all is far in love and war. A country should have the right to do anything it wants to. The only reason why they don't is because on the world scene "might makes right". So to answer your question, yes. They have to right to do anything they want as does the other side. War is just a tool used to assert your will on others. Liberals need to get out of their dream world and realize that the world is a harsh place.

Answer 5

Are you talking about the UN Soldiers that were killed because hezbollah gorillas were firing their rockets right next to the UN Observation Tower the UN soldiers where in?
Here is 1 of hezbollah's coward tactics:

By the way didn't Israel take ALL their Troops out of Lebanon? So why did they have to kidnap the Israeli Soldiers? As for innocent civilians when firing rockets from a civilian's house what do you think is going to happen?
Don't get caught up with the hezbollah media:

Also there was another kidnaping of Israeli soldiers in 2001 with UN help:

Answer 6

If the UN soldiers get in the way, Israel has every right to kill them in order to kill the enemy. The UN is a joke, they are mostly Muslims and they have given more to the terrorists of the world than most countries. Arafat was clearly a murdering terrorist but the UN seemed to applaud his "efforts" and the UN put bogus resolutions on Israel when the palestinians were clearly at fault.

Answer 7

If those UN peacekeepers had been truly neutral and not taken sides then they would not have been attacked.

The fact of the matter is that those UN peacekeepers were providing tactical information to Israel's enemies in time of war. They were asked to stop and refused.

What would you have done in that sort of situation? How many of your people would you allow to die because some people in blue hats are openly assisting your enemy?

Answer 8

Its not OK but let The UN take care of its own Why should we be the UN Lawyers?

Answer 9

Have you ever heard about the USS Liberty? Check it out

Answer 10

Apologies in advance, but trying to ascertain guilt in that area is harder than eating only the yolk in scrambled eggs.
