Israel have hit humanitarian vehicles. Imagine if they hit peacekeepers accidently. What would the genuine ramifications be over that?

There is no point in them being there if there is no peace to keep.
Fuck the USA for allowing Israel to get away with all this disproportionate chaos and killing. They should never have been supplied with offensive weapons in the first place and this whole thing wouldn’t be such a disaster of suffering.

Hoping all the peacekeepers stay safe. It appears Israel doesn’t understand the purpose of peacekeepers, they’re over there to prevent shit like this from happening so they are unlikely to be forced off their position.
Edit: As others have pointed out, these guys are observers, not peacekeepers making my comment not fully correct.

“tells UN” says it all really, Israel should be treated as a pariah state, it’s causing wholesale terror and a reminder when they used our passports to murder someone the government here was “deeply concerned”

Can someone more knowledgeable than me explain why there are peacekeepers in that area but there are still so many rockets being shot into Israel by Hezbollah?
There was Israeli Tanks operating outside of one our border posts yesterday.

And what if they don’t? Are they going to strike near UN peacekeeper locations?

Israel have pushed their luck so much that the US have acknowledged that they hit humanitarian aid. You know it’s bad when you can see the US backtracking on this. They are in no position to tell people representing the UN what to do because even their primary backer is starting to shift away from them.

Just to play devils advocate, I recall a story from a few years ago about Israel gun positions on the border helped repel an attack on the Irish base their. I could be wrong though
edit – after posting this I had a google to see if I recalled it correctly. There is a article about it but it’s from the times of Israel so make of that what you will.

Hope our lads are safe and sound.
Have to imagine it’s illegal to ask them to leave?

Wouldn’t trust Israel for a minute. They have no qualms about making up barefaced lies.

Lad I know isn’t long back from the region.
Last time he went, he was sending pics of a place he stayed for a few days leave, was like something out of a Mediterranean tour guide, looked absolutlely beautiful, now a fucking warzone thanks to religious extremists.

Israelis probably want peacekeepers gone so they can commit atrocities without any independent witnesses.

Hope they get out safe because it’s well known that absolutely everyone and everything is a viable target for the Israelis.

I think that this might be more accurate if it was written like this “Isreal tells UN peacekeepers that they want no witnesses to their war crimes”

What is the point of UN peacekeepers exactly?

I’ve great respect for the Defence forces, but this isn’t our war, and neither of the two sides has any interest in peace. Whatever is the safest option needs to be followed, whether that’s to leave them there or pull them out. The equipment is irrelevant.

Hopefully the lads are okay 🤞
Edit: Irish soldier’s are peacekeepers in Lebanon
