A terrible thing has happened. An Israeli tank, escaping from Hezbollah anti-tank missiles, reversed through the gates of a UN compound in Southern Lebanon. Causing damage estimated at in excess of £34.82. And obviously resulting in stress to many of the staff, now being treated for PTSD in accordance with UN regulation 22539. Which stipulates that any incident of trauma, any broken fingernails or laddered tights shall require immediate psychiatric consultation and long-term leave will be considered.

The UN are there as a ‘peacekeeping force’. Though apparently, aren’t doing the best of all possible jobs at keeping the peace. Because there’s a shit-storm going on there so the boys and gels of ‘UNIFIL’ have barricaded themselves into their compounds. Which is understandable. I’m hoping that why they’re in there, they can have vision and hearing checks, and also linguistic lessons into the definition of ‘peace’.

Because their ‘peace’ was shattered by the uninvited Israeli tank scratching the paintwork on their gateposts, yet they had no problem with estimated 8,000 rockets and missiles fired by Hezbollah into Israel, day and night, over their very heads, since the 8th of October last year. But I don’t suppose a ‘peacekeeping force’ can do much about that, can they? The answer to which is: ‘WHY THE FUCK NOT????’ Followed by: ‘YOU’RE THE UNITED NATIONS, AIN’T’CHA????’

Its also worth considering how a peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon failed to notice the military and arms build-up over years and years as Hezbollah stock-piled rockets, missiles and armaments on a scale not seen since Putin planted 6,000 tanks on the Ukraine border and said ‘invasion? We have no plans for an invasion!!’ Yet those razor sharp ‘peace keepers’ either missed that or decided that it wasn’t really a threat to the peace.

Basically, like the rest of the UN, they’re a spineless, toothless, worthless waste of tax-payer’s money and totally ‘not fit for purpose’. Oddly, their neighbouring colleagues in UNWRA, over Gaza way, are the diametric opposite of a ‘peace-keeping force’ as they actually participated in the October 7th massacre after radicalising and training terrorists for years.

Remind me again why we have the United Nations?

Happy Monday
