I wish they would return fire. Peacekeepers have the right to defend themselves.
What exactly is the point of peacekeepers if the second an invading force starts shelling the area they just fuck off? The UN didn't issue you those rifles for show.
Not the first time. In 2006 they did this, killing four peacekeepers from Austria, Finland, India, and Canada. Israel claimed that they were attacked by Hezbollah and were firing back. The UN and the various foreign governments involved did their usual meaingless polite-letter shit. The IOF got away with it as usual.
hm i wonder if this would count as a violation of international law? oh well, no way of knowing i guess.
It would count if the "international community" had any spine whatsoever and actually upheld the laws it claims to care about.
Yes, open up as many fronts as possible while fighting a massive internal uprising, that can only end well for you
Unfortunately, when the people you're firing on have been starved for any kind of economic base over the last two decades and subjected to repeated bombings and invasions prior to this, it is apparently something you absolutely can do. As to whether it will work out long term? Israel has access to the US
Over the long term, Israel's overall domestic situation may end up looking more like El Salvador's or Panama's or Qatar's. But who cares? The country will plunge further into a caste-system of Jewishness, while the nation's finances will be tied increasingly to western financial interests. That feels like a feature rather than a bug.
We'll know in eight years. But I wouldn't put money on Israel just vanishing in a puff of hate. Haiti still exists, ffs. Iraq and Syria still exist, despite being bombed to shit repeatedly. Countries with far less have endured for far longer.
And there are simply too many Israelis with too much to lose for it to vanish inside a decade.
Last night I was talking about the base to a friend and he said they should livestream the base for when the Israelis hit it as proof, I told him they could probably flatten the whole base on camera and get away with it.
The Israeli government could drop a nuclear bomb on the Superbowl, and the American government would apologize to the Israeli government and offer to reimburse them for the aviation fuel used.
"Deeply concerned"
Call me when it's "we will seek gross and disproportionate retribution. Our name will be a thing of fear in the mouths of our foes.
Simon Harris is a sack of shit who would strongly condem Israel levelling Dublin and chopping his legs off, but not do anything about it. USA uses Shannon Airport as a military base and delivers weapons to Israel from there, and has since forever, and he, nor any of the other criminals in government, have ever given a single shit.
