United Nations – International Disgrace

How conceivable would it be for UN Peacekeepers to tape the abductions of Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah, and then sell the film back to Hezbollah for profit? Arutz Sheva is carrying this report:

IsraelNN.com) Channel 10 paid 200,000 Euros ($257,000) to Lebanese TV for the rights to air the footage of Israel’s missing soldiers screened on the channel. The latest clip – aired in the second portion of a three-part series – depicts Israeli MIAs in the 80s, when they were in the hands of the Iranian-backed Amal terror group.

Ron Arad is seen speaking about himself in English, with a thick Israeli accent, and reciting his parents names. The attack and kidnapping of three soldiers in the Har Dov region in 2000 was aired as well. Lebanese TV claims it does not know the source of the footage, but Army Radio reports that the Har Dov video may have been sold to Hizbullah by the UN, whose peacekeepers filmed the attack.

I didn’t think my opinion of the UN as a world institution could get any lower after the UN Peacekeepers Sex-for-Food scandals of the Congo. I was wrong, and to think the Canadian government is using my tax money to fund this travesty is really beyond the pale.
