#1 Always good for a laugh when one reads that the UN 'ordered' this or that. Nobody takes orders from the UN seriously except the higher-end restaurants...

#2 If Lebanon objects to Israeli overflights, Lebanon can (attempt to) shoot down the Israeli planes. The UN can STFU.

#3 How about if Lebanon stops harboring terrorist groups first?

#4 How about if Lebanon stops harboring terrorist groups first?

You make it sound like they could just boot 'em out tomorrow. You got some information that conflicts with the reality over there?

(and yes, the UN should find something useful to do, like restaurant reviews...)

#5 I would reply, "As soon as their rockets stop violating our airspace and as soon as their terrorists that they are harboring stop violating our groundspace, we have a deal. Otherwise, if we find terrorists in your camps, we'll bomb your sorry asses too."

#6 If it ain't a "strongly worded statement", it don't mean shit.

#7 I find it rather curious how an organization that has consistently backed Islam's terrorist states expects Israel to take them seriously.

#9 United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 was unanimously approved by the UNSC, the Lebanese cabinet, as well as the Israeli cabinet. Hezbollah hasnt disarmed, the abducted Israeli soldiers have yet to be released, and other continuous external hostilities are clear violations of the resolution. But that doesnt erase the fact that Israeli over flights are a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and therefore in violation of 1701 as well. Perhaps, if the UN denounced all violations with equal vigor their irrelevance quotient wouldnt peak as much but they are certainly justified in voicing their objections.
