French Surrender

MARWAHEEN, Lebanon (AFP) - UN and Israeli tanks have been involved in a brief face-off on a road in southern Lebanon where the Israeli army has been setting up checkpoints.

Four French Leclerc tanks with UN peacekeepers moved up the hill to stand 500 meters (yards) from the entrance to the border village of Marwaheen, as two Israeli Merkava tanks operated nearby on Lebanese soil.

Standing some 50 meters from each other, the tanks were locked in a 20-minute face-off, the first between the Israeli army and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which has been boosted to oversee the current truce.

The French tanks then withdrew from the area, as observers of the UN Truce Supervision Organisation deployed in the area.

Israeli soldiers confiscated the identity cards of photographers at the scene, claiming they may give pictures of the Israeli military to militants of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah.

Israeli forces, whose country fought a July-August war with Hezbollah, have set up flying checkpoints in the area in the past two days, prompting the Lebanese government to file complaints to UNIFIL.

OK, more like French tanks ran away.

No need to wave flags, the tank was white.


In all seriousness, they did the right thing.

WTF is Israel thinking? What exactly are they trying to hide? This is the UN we're talking about, it's not like those were Palestinian tanks or anything.

Exactly. Would you guys be happy if they had done this? Is their choice only to be murderers or cowards?

If I was French (especially French and muslim) I would really be pissed at Americans right now and that would be your fault.

you learn something new every day:beer:

Fox News is one channel vs CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, HLN, PBS...

btw FNC is only 10 years old. FNC is also very unbiased when presenting straight news, and very balanced when presenting opinion. Hannity has Colmes; O'Reilly (I don't even consider the guy a "conservative") always has liberals on; greta is i have no clue bc i don't watch. You are so used to left-wing news sources that when you watch FNC presenting a moderate point of view, you consider it right-wing...well because it's to the right of you.
