UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have been growing increasingly concerned by the activities of the Israeli army in areas adjacent to their operations.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) was established in 1978 and since the last Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006, it is the only military force apart from the Lebanese army that should be deployed between the Israeli border and the Litani River, 30 kilometres north of the border.
Israel ordered Unifil to evacuate its bases in the areas it was operating - however, it refused.
Now, Israel has reportedly established a forward operating base within very close proximity to UN Post 6-52, which is staffed by Irish peacekeepers, raising alarm from the organisation about the possible threat to their activities.
The opposite side of that coin is what would happen if the IDF accidentally-on-purpose hits UNFIL with a missile or two.
The US would be caught between a rock and hard place, forcing it to choose the non-genocidal side.
Israel has done it before. Multiple times.
The US Liberty says otherwise.
What makes you hope for that? Both parties have been competing over who is the biggest genocide supporter and now who gets to be the biggest war mongerer.
Would be interesting if soldiers from a NATO country would be murdered by Israel and the country calling Article 5. But by now i wouldn’t be surprised if the US also would dismantle NATO from within, rather than hold Israel and itself accountable.
I didn’t say I hoped for it. Watching murder unfold is never something anyone should hope for.
I just offered a scenario where Israel crosses yet another line in the sand, as they have previously done over and over again, murdering journalists, UN workers, and NGO food/aid distributors.
I was referring to this aspect:
Sorry if my reply was confusing in that regard. At this point, where even US citizens can be murdered in broad daylight by the IDF, i don’t think there is anything really that will stop the US from supporting the genocide of Arabs.
