Canadian Killed Complained U.N. Position Was Shielding Hezbollah

By Daniel Freedman on U.N.

IMRA reports (via colleague Grayson Levy):

"...the tragic loss of a soldier yesterday who I happen to know and I think probably is from my Regiment. We've received e-mails from him a few days ago and he described the fact that he was taking within - in one case -- three meters of his position "for tactical necessity - not being targeted". Now that's veiled speech in the military and what he was telling us was Hizbullah fighters were all over his position and the IDF were (sic) targeting them and that's a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can't be punished for it."

Retired Canadian Major General Lewis MacKenzie interviewed on CBC Toronto radio 26 July 2006

We know Hezbollah hides behind civilians. Is it any surprise they hide behind U.N. peacekeepers and anyone else they can find? Kofi Annan still blames Israel. But that's no suprise either. To say nothing of the U.N. working with Hezbollah, as Michelle Malkin notes.
