The U.N. is now demanding that Jerusalem pay compensation for damage that Israel's military did to seven U.N. facilities in the Gaza Strip during the 2014 war between Hamas and Israel.
A third Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah is simmering and could explode in the foreseeable future, given current trends in the Middle East.
Hezbollah, like Hamas, knows it cannot defeat Israel on the battlefield, so it similarly embeds its forces and weapons throughout civilian areas to force the IDF to kill innocents.
Hezbollah used human shields during its 2006 war with Israel and, according to reports, plans to do so in a future fight.
Israel will do what it can to avoid civilian causalities, but Hezbollah will do what it can to put Lebanese innocents in harm's way, only then to use the media to portray Israel as the murderous party.
Given its history, the U.N. will condemn Israel disproportionally for its actions in a third Lebanon war, regardless of the facts.
As a matter of deterrence and smart public relations, Israel and other Western countries must "Preempt" Hezbollah's smear campaign by explaining to the world what the group does to endanger civilians, how Israel will need to use decisive force if conflict begins, and how disastrous such a war would be for Hezbollah.
