If ever there was a useless organization the UN fits the bill.... And the UN sends it's feckless crews into a region as 'peace-keepers' who do nothing to make peace but rather to protect the terrorists (and harbor their missiles and rockets in schools and hospitals)...
Now 43 of these poor UN peace-keepers have been taken hostage by the very people they were supposed to be making peace for... STUPID! IDIOTIC! And humorous.
The UN is a terror supporting organization which is being taken advantage of by the muslim hordes. Time to disband this useless organization. Half the UN member states are terror-exporting states anyway...

The United Nations said Thursday that 43 UN peacekeepers are being detained by “an armed group” at the border between Syria and Israel where Islamist militants are clashing with the Syrian military. Another 81 UN peacekeepers in the area of separation were trapped at their positions, the UN said.
Rebel forces, including the al-Qaeda affiliate known as the Nusra Front, have reportedly advanced on Syrian forces and seized the Quneitra border crossing near where the UN peacekeepers were detained.
Some 1,200 peacekeepers with the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force monitor the demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights, comprising servicemen from Fiji, India, Ireland, Nepal, the Netherlands and the Philippines.
“The United Nations is making every effort to secure the release of the detained peacekeepers, and to restore the full freedom of movement of the Force throughout its area of operation,” the UN said in a statement.
UN peacekeepers have been apprehended in Syria in the past and released, including last year when a group of Filipino UN peacekeepers were released.
