A foot patrol of the French unit operating within the UNIFIL reserve force came under fire from an Israeli army position while inspecting an earth barrier recently erected by Israeli forces in the Wadi Qatmoun area, on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Rmeish, according to the National News Agency (NNA).
I wish they’d just return fire for once.
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.
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?
Because they are supposed to keep a demilitarized zone.
Of all people I’d think it would be the French, they don’t fuck around.
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 incidentor some shit.Removed by mod
True. And so am I for letting them get awaywith it.
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.
