The United Nations said on Sunday Israeli tanks had burst through the gates of a base of its peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, the latest accusation of Israeli violations and attacks that have been denounced by Israel’s own allies.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the United Nations to evacuate the troops of the UNIFIL peacekeeping force from combat areas in Lebanon. Hours later, the force reported what it described as additional Israeli violations, including two Israeli Merkava tanks destroying the main gate of a base and forcibly entering before dawn that morning.
Soon after the tanks left, shells exploded 100 metres away, releasing smoke which blew across the base and sickened U.N. personnel, causing 15 to require treatment despite wearing gas masks, it said. It did not say who fired the shells or what sort of toxic substance it suspected.
It also accused Israel’s IDF military of halting a logistics convoy. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to the statement.
Seems like UN is Hamas.
I had a good feeling you were being sarcastic… but I have former acquaintances who have unironically posted things along the lines of “The UN says Israel’s doing war crimes? They must have been paid off by Hamas.”
So yeah, hard to tell nowadays.
You can’t possibly believe that.
I thought “X is Hamas” is a fairly well established meme on Lemmy by this point.
Like I said elsewhere: Poe’s Law. There are people who actually believe that sort of nonsense unfortunately.
Edit: In fact, someone just replied to me agreeing with you, except they’re serious.
I mean yeah isn’t it sarcasm?

Oh, but they do Squid. Their comment/post history tells the story.
That’s not true. You should look again at their comment history. Their comment above was making fun of Israel’s tendency to retroactively label whoever they kill as Hamas.
Bullshit, I went through their post history and it isn’t zionist. Stop that.
Why the fuck are you lying about something we can all so easily verify?
You’re either perpetuating the deep sarcasm or you ain’t reading right. 😅 If the former - applause.
Well that’s depressing.
It’s also untrue. Check their history for yourself. They’re critical of Israel and sympathetic to the people Israel is bombing.
They’re lying to you.

Can you link to your evidence for these two points? I may be out of date but the last time I looked there were much lower numbers being accused by Israel, and none of the accusations confirmed independently.

I don’t see how peacekeepers interacting with both sides of a conflict is proof of anything. By that logic all in troops interacting with Israelis should also be removed, and the UN should just take a shoot anything that moves near the border approach.
I would like to see corroborating evidence or I will delete this as misinformation.
It is linked in this thread.
Your first link is something that Israel claims about their enemy. Why should I trust that from any nation currently engaged in an offensive war?
The second link is from some anti-UN website and can be dismissed outright.
The third mentions one single person. You claimed over 100.

Sorry, “trust me, bro” is not a valid source. I would not advise you to continue posting misinformation.
Lol. What are you talking about? “Trust me, bro” huh???
Anyways, They have fired 9 people directly involved in the October 7th attack.
Didn’t basically everyone resume UNRWA funding after looking at the evidence? You’d think they wouldn’t have done that if the allegations were credible enough.
