UN Peacekeepers Caught Saluting Dead Hezbollah Fighters, Israel Upset......

Another in a long line of fucking UN abominations.....

Israel is calling for removal of two United Nations soldiers from Lebanon after photographs surfaced of the soldiers saluting the coffins of Hezbollah terrorists during a prisoner exchange Wednesday.

Associated Press photographer Mohammed Zaatari captured an image of the troops paying homage to fallen Hezbollah fighters as trucks bearing their coffins drove through the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon.

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Dan Gillerman, said he was “shocked and horrified” by the photograph and that it was time for the saluting soldiers to go.

“I think they should be recalled and be sent back to whichever country they came from,” said Gillerman. “I think they’ve definitely compromised their impartiality and have in a very big way, in a very serious way, compromised the integrity of the United Nations.”

"compromised the integrity of the United Nations.”

Is he serious?

Probably a case of "Smile and wave boys. Smile and wave".

I'm sure the 'felt pressure' to do the saluting with camera's around not to mention prying eyes.

Im surprised a Muslim photographer ratted them out.

Taqiyya from the UN

The blue-helmet U.N. troops, who operate under the auspices of the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), are meant disarm Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and be an impartial buffer along the country’s border with Israel.

“It is customary in most armies for military personnel in uniform to salute whenever a coffin passes in a procession,” UNIFIL spokeswoman Yasmina Bouziane said. “They were merely following this customary military tradition and saluted coffins draped in Lebanese national flags at their own initiative.”

“They are there as peacekeepers with a very clear mandate to disarm Hezbollah — they’re not there to honor terrorists,” he said.

The United Nations rejected the suggestion that its troops favored Hezbollah and told FOXNews.com that UNIFIL troops were doing their job and remained an unbiased force.

“They are impartial with regards to the forces on the ground,” Farhan Haq, a U.N. spokesman, said. “(UNIFIL) is an impartial source — it doesn’t show a bias for either side.”

No surprise-the Urine Nations is nothing but a mouthpiece for every crappy country in the world, Koranic or otherwise. And we fund all this crap.

Elric66,

Once again.... you nail the real story. That any leader would say that the un has any credibility is incredible. That is who hussian obamma intends to hand us over to courtesy of soros.

Gillerman says the incident compromised the integrity of the UN? How can the UN compromise what they abandoned long ago? Silly ambassador, the UN has no integrity!

If they had integrity, Hezbollah wouldnt have restocked 4 fold in 2 years under the UN's nose,
