and enforce UN Resolution 1559 which prohibits non-state groups (Hezbollah in this case) from having weapons in the first place? Urging Israel to use "maximum restraint" under Resolution 1701 is a farce, just like every other time Israel is fired upon by whomever.

missiles from Lebanon that they allowed in. UNSC 1701 was supposed to have stopped Hezbollah from rearming with missiles. UN has failed again...like always. Just goes to show...no one will protects Jews from genocidal maniacs but other Jews....

Why does this not feel comforting?

Ball-less like Devorah so rightly said! It's like a recording and it's played way too much... "All parties must show restraint" And what pray tell me, were you (The UN Peacekeeping Force) doing while the Hezbollah nut jobs were stuffing a billion rockets into just about every village in southern Lebanon? You were a joke years ago (UN Peacekeepers) and your still a joke now. I'm surprised actually that Israel hasn't been accused yet (by Arab media outlets and UN Human Rights groups) of targeting, bombing and massacring women, children, old men, grandmothers, chickens and dogs while retaliating. Perhaps the UN should move into Syria were Arabs are killing Arabs. They'd have friends on both sides.

Actually, not this time. See the rocket fire for what it really is -- Iran getting its terrorist proxy Hezbollah to test the waters. If Israel hits back hard, Iran will get its answer.

I don't see the UN deserves any great praise for condemning the attack. Its a basic courtesy that all countries should be given by the UN, including Israel.

Why should Israel hold back the answer? The man in the moon should first talk to his fellow friends in hezbolla and iran to stop theese terror-actions. For every rocket fired from Libanon, IDF should answer with the double.

That is the question YOU must answer! The UN, the USA, the EU will do nothing to stop the Neo-Nazi Regime in Tehran. Time and time again the Islamic World has tried to destroy Israel and kill the Jews. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is openly stating that it will "kill the Jews" but when Jews call this Antisemitism some say we are using the term in excess. Indeed, Israel is a thorn in the side of the appeasing nations of this planet and unless Israel looks after itself, the world will stand by and watch the fulfillment of Hitler's dream, the extermination of Jews worldwide! President Obama, PM Cameron, President Sarkozi and Chancellor Merkel, the Jihad begins with Israel's annihilation and ends with worldwide subjugation by Islam. The enemy is in your midst and if you don't act now you will be the "enemy" in a new Islamic world!

should be renamed to UNIFAIL, this name serves better.

How come groups like Peace Now, Btselem etc never condemn attacks like this?

Had Israel destroyed all of their enemies as the Lord commanded them centuries ago, she would not be in the mess that she is in today. Treaties are worthless, destroy your enemies, now. The Lord is on your side and will deliver you, or do you actually believe your own scriptures?
