WhatsappA U.S.-drafted Security Council resolution, poised for a vote in mere weeks, proposes a so-called “International Stabilization Force” (ISF) with a two-year mandate to “pacify” Gaza. This multinational farce, cloaked in the blue helmets of impotence, would flood our biblical heartland with foreign boots on the ground, ostensibly to disarm Hamas and enforce a ceasefire. But let’s call it what it is: a suicide pact for Israeli security, a gift-wrapped opportunity for jihadists to regroup, and a blatant assault on Jewish sovereignty. From the halls of the Knesset to the outposts of Judea and Samaria, Israel’s right wing—unbowed and unapologetic—must rise in thunderous opposition. This isn’t stabilization; it’s surrender.
The ink isn’t even dry on this draft, yet already the pitfalls scream from every page. Proponents babble about “demilitarizing” Gaza and “stabilizing the security environment,” as if a gaggle of UN bureaucrats and their rotating cast of anti-Israel enablers could ever tame the terrorist viper’s nest that October 7 exposed to the world. Israel has spilled its blood—over 1,200 souls in a single day of Hamas savagery—to reclaim Gaza from the brink of annihilation. And now, in a fit of diplomatic delusion, we’re to hand the keys to outsiders who view the Jewish state as the aggressor? Absurd. Catastrophic. Unforgivable.
A Legacy of UN Futility: Lessons from Lebanon’s Fiasco
History isn’t kind to illusions, and the UN’s track record is a graveyard of them. Cast your eyes north to Lebanon, where the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)—that perennial punchline—has patrolled since 1978. Mandated to keep the peace and disarm Hezbollah, what has it achieved? Precisely nothing. Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy beast, has amassed an arsenal surpassing Israel’s own, launching thousands of rockets into our cities while UN peacekeepers twiddle their thumbs or worse: collaborate with the terrorists they were sent to stop. Reports abound of UNIFIL troops turning a blind eye to arms smuggling, even sharing intelligence with Hezbollah operatives. In 2024 alone, Israeli strikes targeted UNIFIL positions after repeated violations, underscoring the force’s role not as a buffer, but as a human shield for our enemies.
Gaza’s ISF would be UNIFIL 2.0, turbocharged for failure. With a mandate to “ensure demilitarization,” it promises to inspect tunnels and confiscate rockets—tasks requiring iron-fisted resolve that no multinational committee possesses. Hamas, battle-hardened and burrow-deep, will melt into the civilian fabric, using mosques and schools as cover while the ISF files reports and sips tea. The result? A false peace that emboldens the Islamists, allowing them to rearm under the benevolent gaze of “international observers.” Israel suffers first and fiercest: our border communities, still scarred from Sderot’s sirens, will face renewed rocket barrages, with the blood of the next massacre on the hands of those blue helmets we foolishly trusted.
The UN’s Poisoned Chalice: Institutional Bias Against the Jewish State
Let’s not mince words: the United Nations is not a neutral arbiter; it’s a kangaroo court stacked against Israel. Over 30% of General Assembly resolutions since 2015 have targeted the Jewish state—more condemnations than for Syria’s chemical atrocities or Russia’s Ukraine invasion combined. Arab oil money and European guilt complexes ensure that any “stabilization” force arrives pre-loaded with anti-Zionist venom. Who commands this ISF? Likely a coalition of the unwilling: Turkey’s Erdogan acolytes, Qatar’s Hamas funders in disguise, and perhaps even Chinese spies eager to probe our defenses. The draft’s vagueness on troop contributors is no accident—it’s a recipe for infiltration by Israel’s foes.
Pitfalls abound. Veto power rests with the Security Council, where Russia and China—eternal Israel skeptics—hold sway. A single abstention, and the mandate morphs into a tool for sanctioning Israeli self-defense. Remember the 2014 Gaza conflict? UNHRC reports twisted Hamas war crimes into Israeli “atrocities.” This force would amplify that libel, with on-site “monitors” live-streaming distorted footage to fuel global boycotts. Israel suffers diplomatically, painted as the obstacle to peace while our economy buckles under BDS tsunamis. Domestically, it fractures our resolve: left-wing appeasers in Tel Aviv might cheer, but the right—from Likud heartlands to settler strongholds—knows this is existential erosion, chipping away at the Zionist dream of self-determination.
Sovereignty Shredded: Foreign Troops on Sacred Soil
Gaza isn’t some abstract “disputed territory”; it’s part of Jewish history, from Philistine battles to the Gush Katif flourishing we uprooted in 2005 for “peace”—only to reap disengagement’s bitter harvest of Qassams and kidnappings. Inviting an ISF means ceding control of this land to outsiders, a direct affront to our God-given right to defend it. The proposal’s two-year timeline? A fig leaf for perpetuity. Once entrenched, these forces won’t leave; they’ll demand “extensions” amid manufactured crises, turning Gaza into a sovereign-free zone where Israeli operations require UN “approval.”
The human cost to Israel is incalculable. Our IDF— the world’s most moral army—will be hamstrung, forced to coordinate strikes through bureaucratic mazes while Hamas laughs from hidden lairs. Intelligence leaks? Inevitable, as foreign troops mingle with locals sympathetic to jihad. And when the inevitable attack comes— a suicide bombing at an ISF checkpoint blamed on “settler provocations”—Israel will be the villain, justifying further isolation. Our children in Ashkelon, our farmers in the Negev: they pay the price in fear and fire, their futures mortgaged to a UN that despises us.
The Ultimate Betrayal: American Naivety Undermines Our Allyship
Even the U.S., our steadfast ally, stumbles here. Circulating this draft amid election-year posturing, Washington dreams of offloading Gaza’s mess without grasping the blowback. Israelis are loath to outsource security for good reason: we alone bear the rockets, the infiltrations, the endless vigilance. This force doesn’t stabilize; it destabilizes by diluting our deterrence. Hamas survives, Iran cheers, and Hezbollah licks its chops for a northern sequel.
Israel’s government, under Netanyahu’s steady hand, has rightly signaled opposition to any Security Council-mandated meddling. But words aren’t enough. The right must mobilize: flood the streets with protests, bombard our envoys with demands to veto this poison, and remind the world that Jewish blood isn’t cheap currency for UN photo-ops.
In the end, stabilization comes not from blue helmets, but from blue-and-white resolve. Israel didn’t rise from Holocaust ashes to subcontract its survival. We will not kneel to this farce. Gaza’s future is ours to forge—with fire, faith, and unyielding strength. The UN can keep its force; we’ll keep our freedom. Am Yisrael Chai.
