a specific list of authorized actions to achieve it. But let's for the sake of argument grant you what you seem to wish for which is an all powerful UNIFIL to take terminal military actions against violations of 1701. Fine. How many Israeli deaths, downed jets and drones etc. are you OK with? When the IDF knowingly and purposely blocked a patrol road of UNIFIL then how many UNIFIL bombs would have been acceptable on the IDF personnel who did this and their command?
What you propose is unlimited action against one party in a conflict with no limits on the action of another party. As I have stated many times there is not an agreement in this region that I can recall where the parties have been honest rather than deceitful and always with a shadow agenda of going at each other.
Let's take it a step further and give the critics of UNIFIL and UNRWA in the Israeli government what they want and completely eliminate them. Is the Israeli government going to step up and provide all the dollars and programs and administer what UNRWA does? Hardly. Does the Israeli government think that other countries that have economic headwinds of their own should somehow now solely provide all of that? Is the Israeli government so ignorant that it thinks that somehow not providing those things is going to result in a more secure situation?
No indeed because the Israeli government position is that if you starve people enough, brutalize them enough militarily and destroy enough of what little they have around them that as the remaining population deals with their amputations, brain injuries, severely burned bodies, blindness, psychological trauma, starvation and all the rest that somehow they will come to think of you as "peaceful neighbors" rather than the government who has brutalized them for 75+ years. It is insane to think what has been done will bring anything but an increasing level of hate and response. But the saying is the insane never realize that they are and they think of themselves as perfectly normal. Sanity on the part of the radical right and the Israeli government has always been as scarce a commodity as mirrors.
