    • For real these UNFIL patrols are supposed to fight back against agression.

      It is getting painfully obvious they only exist to surpress armed resistance against the occupiers.

        seems to me they are there to document but not prevent. If they are there to support the occupiers as you said, why would the occupiers fire on them?

      Its absurd that they dont. And that the security council countries doesnt reinforce the positions fired upon and return fire with 100 times the force. Having a veto in the Un should come with a lot of responsibilities.

        I think France should retaliate in this specific situation but if their standard procedure were to take 100 eyes for an eye then the world would be burning.

        Our current government is openly pro-israel and anti-palestinian, we’re not gonna do squat.
        They’ve been calling any criticism towars bibi and any palestinian support antisemitic for the past 2 years - and most of the billionaires-controlled media has happily done the same.
        Even if soldiers are killed, it’s gonna be labeled a communication incident or some shit.

      • Unfortunately I think only the foreign legion would have been likely to fire back here, and I don’t think they they do much peacekeeping.

      • Any country with a half-decent military would wipe the floor with Israel in a fight, but almost everyone with the ability to do that has been tamed by Uncle Sam.
