To the future International Force in Lebanon-Israel border.
The world believes in an international peacekeeping force that will guarantee a quiet Israel-Lebanon border; this force shall engage any side which will try to cross it illegaly.
As an Israeli person, I don't believe there is any chance that IDF will try to cross this border if it knows that it will have to engage the UN, I just don't see it happening.
However, there comes the question: What if the UN is not doing its job?
And by not doing its job, I mean, what if Israel is being fired at from Lebanon just like now, the peacekeeping force guarantees to destroy the launcher; what about the other launchers? what about the entire war machine that Hizballah or organizations like Hizballah will build under the nose of the UN, can you cope that?
I know that such international force would not want Israel to be under attack, but doing something about it is another question, you think you can do better than Israel by guaranteeing the safety of the Israeli citizens? do so, act, send your troops to disarm those sides, as long as you do that you have the full consent of Israel, and by that, I mean that IDF is not going to be jumping from APCs if you know what I mean.
Remember what your goal is: keep peace.
If you are going to let Hizballah fire rockets at Israel without them being disarmed, we anticipate another war, just don't let that happen.
