They're doing the societal version of "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue"
Grift recognize grift.
The international community needs to give this rogue state an ultimatum of the "Don't invade Poland" type.
Remember what happened first time when they did that ultimatum? Yeah, absolutely fucking nothing and this time we can't even count on the ultimatum target invading the ultimatum issuers which finally forced them to do anything.
Netanyahu has the gaul to tell Biden to his face whilst sitting in the oval office, that he's a Zionist. An Irish American Zionist. Of all the nationalities he could have called out for being a Zionist, Irish sure is a strange one.
Now the IDF opens fire on a UN peacekeeping force where Irish peacekeepers are stationed. Dude is going to put on a Gimp suit and tickle Joe's asshole with his nose whilst wanking him off with rosery beads on live TV next, or something 🤣.
Fucking hell.
Anyway, here's a longer, more up to date Version of the article.
Israeli forces fire at UN peacekeeper positions in south Lebanon, peacekeepers say
In 2006, during the last major confrontation, a UN Observation Position (OP) came under Israeli artillery and aerial bombardment.
Despite repeated appeals to the IDF to stop firing, throughout 25 July, the OP on the outskirts of the village of Khiam was finally destroyed.
Four UN military observers from Austria, Canada, China and Finland were killed.
Israel’s ambassador to the US, Danny Ayalon, said “Unifil obviously got caught in the middle", and suggested that the deadly fire could have come from Hezbollah.
A UN investigation concluded that the base had been destroyed by a 500kg precision-guided bomb dropped by an Israeli warplane.
Israel concluded that human error was to blame.
In 1996, during an earlier round of fighting, Israeli artillery shells hit another UN compound, at Qana, where around 800 displaced Lebanese civilians were sheltering.
106 civilians were killed and four Fijian peacekeepers were injured.
