What was the reaction of the world to the killing of 4 UN observers?

Were they Jewish or Israeli?

Actually, initially there was a question if the Israelis deliberately
targeted the UN post, until, a couple of days later, it was discovered that
the Canadian member of the post had sent an email to his family saying that
Hezbollah was launching katushas from right outside the post facility (which
would support the idea that the Israelis were just responding to attacks
against them originating from the site.

What was the point of having the UN post there?
It doesn't seem like it served any peacekeeping purpose.

It was an observation post to monitor the truce. No active peacekeeping
role was intended.

That's quite a retaliation for a couple of kidnappings. But I've
already pointed out how Israel always overreacts.


They crossed into Israel, kidnapped 2 and killed 8 soldiers.
What do you think the reaction of Syria would be if Israel did this?

Personally I would have cheered if the UN effectively retaliated. A fuel
and weapons embargo against Israel would be a good start.


But only until the "Final Solution" can be achieved ?

Are all critics of Israel Nazi's?

No - some are self-hating Jews. What other alternatives could there
possibly be?

Apparently Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel, then killed and
kidnapped Israeli soldiers. Did UN observers observe this and report it?

Duty-free booze is dead, as you will never again be allowed to bring
bottles of anything onboard a plane again. I'll bet this is a significant
reduction in revenue for certain countries.

Forget about bringing any liquid or semi-liquid substance onboard a
plane again, including toothpaste.

I wonder if the airlines are smart enough to stock more water and
food to make up for passengers not being able to bring their own.
Not to mention that fact that it must be free, because passengers no
longer have an option to bring their own.

The authorities have overreacted by banning reading material. It is
not possible to store liquids in a magazine and books can easily be
checked by fanning through the pages.

Even more so than usual, I'd hate to be someone who has to wear
a colostomy bag.


Just be careful to bring replacement bags and always give them the bag
if there is anything in it. Be safe not sorry.
