At this point, US should just refuse to comment when asked instead of humiliating themselves daily.
Pwetty pweeaase stop murdering our citizens, or mommy is gonna get really mad.
Really gives the vibe of a helicopter parent that thinks anything her kid does could only ever amount to something worth a mild scolding.
And what that kid does is daily school shootings. Especially at the kindergarten and the Nurse’s Office
What, you don’t like to see Mathew Miller’s smirk when he’s defending murdering babies?
His address is public btw
Come on guys, stop it. hands them more billions in aid
“stop shooting the UN peacekeepers” says the US soldier that’s hand reloading an Israeli soldiers magazine, slipping it into the gun that Israeli is actively aiming, and lovingly brushing the dust off his shoulders…
Who am I kidding. You can’t tell anyone anything when their dick is still burried in your throat.
I wish the US had the urge not to send/sell the bullets that are being used to fire at UN peacekeepers.
At what point do UN troops have authority to shoot back?
I think they can fire back if fired upon. The issue is probably one of escalation where they’re heavily outgunned.
There was an interview with the mother of one of the Irish contingent on the radio here the other day and she said they sat in their bunker for 26 hours straight.
With no arms embargo and no stopping cover in international bodies there is no reason to take anything like this seriously.
US could just stop arming the genociders but then the genocide would stop, and US politicians can’t cum unless they’re looking at mangled corpses
Israel argues that Unifil has failed to stabilise the region, and has asked peacekeepers to withdraw northwards so it can confront Hezbollah.
🤔
Sounds like what nazi would say
Just did some reading on the history of UNIFIL, here’s some highlights
In February 2021, Lebanese journalist and opponent of Hezbollah Lokman Slim was abducted and murdered by Hezbollah while in a UNIFIL-controlled area of Lebanon.
An official source within the Lebanese government informed Al Jazeera that, despite UNIFIL’s shortcomings, the force had been responsible for regularly hosting and mediating negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli forces, helping to defuse tensions.
On 6 April 1980, clashes between UNIFIL peacekeepers and the South Lebanon Army, an Israeli-backed Lebanese militia, began when the SLA attacked Irish troops based in At Tiri. The Irish soldiers held their ground and called in Dutch and Fijian peacekeepers as reinforcements. The battle ended on 12 April when the Dutch contingent employed TOW missiles against the SLA. During the battle, two UNIFIL peacekeepers were killed: Stephen Griffin, a 21-year-old Private from the 46th Irish Battalion, from Rahoon in County Galway, and Sevati Sovonaivalu of the Fijian Army. One SLA soldier, 19-year old Massoud Bazzi, was also killed.[239][240]
