Italy complains to Israel over attack on UNIFIL

1. As well they should. Wonder if the people in this sub who called anyone critical of Israel’s aims/motives vis-à-vis this “war” some sort of terrorist-loving degenerate last year have reflected on how things have gone. Probably not tho. Weird that this news story isn’t anywhere else on this sub, too.

   Anyway, Israel will kill some UN peacekeepers soon, only a matter of time. That really should trigger some actual, meaningful consequences for Israel which, by any definition, is a rogue state. Doubt those consequences will occur though.

   History will not look kindly on us for doing nothing to stop this massacre.

2. As an Italian I hope we will ask big reparations and eventually blocking their ports if they dont accept

3. Stop complaining and embargo the evil genocidal Israeli regime

4. Why is r/Europe just a bunch of commies and Islamist lovers?

5. What is stopping from UNIFIl actually enforcing 1701?

6. Italy: We protest you action

   Israel: Yeah? And what are you going to do about it?

   Italy: ……..nothing…….

   Israel: Thought so.

7. Israel does not want the Palestinians in what they consider their “homeland” including the West Bank, any Palestinians that leave as refugees are never allowed back.

   These attacks are all to discourage any monitoring of their future actions to force Palestinians out by getting rid of UN observers, aid workers and journalists.

   They are going to end up causing a massive refugee crisis, and they do not care that most will end up in Europe, if Europe is serious about stopping another crisis, then Israel must be stopped. An as stable as possible Palestinian state is the only way to avoid another massive wave of refugees.

8. Mossad bots are very active again 🤮

9. Has Italy considered not supplying Israel with weapons with which to kill Italian troops?

   Maybe they could save some effort by just shooting some peacekeepers before they ship out?

10. Sort by Top or Controversial and you get the same comments. The bots are out in force

11. “Complains”

    Bring sanctions, ffs!

12. We need sanctions. Now!

13. Why did Israel hit this area?

14. Don’t expect them to apologise.

15. Maybe the UN should have enforced resolution 1701 and this mess would not have occurred. UNIFIL are and have been useless.

16. Years ago Israeli jets killed a Canadian and a Chinese peacekeeper. Nothing.

17. Hezbollah was behind the UN troops! /s

18. Turkey should put AA warships off Beirut and declare a no-fly zone.

19. Thanks Italy

20. Of course nothing will happened to jews, Imagine the outrage if Russian did attack on UNifil

21. Let’s review the situation:

    * After the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, the UN passes Resolution 1701, calling for ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, and the disarmament and withdrawal of Hezbollah to north the Litani River (~ 29 km north of the border)
    * UNIFIL’s purpose is to ensure the terms of the ceasefire are honored and to assist the Lebanese military in regaining sovereignty in S. Lebanon
    * Israel withdraws
    * Hezbollah does not. Over the following decades, Hezbollah significantly increases their weapons capabilities, amassing approx. 120,000-200,000 munitions, increases the deployment of its armed forces south of the Litani River, develops tunnels, weapon stashes, airstrips and military installations
    * UNIFIL does nothing to prevent this re-armament
    * Immediately after Oct 7, Hezbollah fires hundreds of rockets into civilian areas of Northern Israel. It does not stop. Approx. 300,000 Israeli civilians have been internally displaced and forced to flee south as a consequence
    * In an effort to neutralize the Hizbollah threat in the north, Israel goes on the offensive in Lebanon
    * Allegedly, Hezbollah was planning it’s own version of Oct 7 in the Galilee region of Israel, we later learn
    * Since Hezbollah is deployed in areas that UNIFIL operates, Israel asks UNIFIL to withdraw or take shelter
    * UNIFIL declines

    What are we to conclude from this situation? UNIFIL won’t do its job. The “ceasefire” of 2006-2023 has proven to be nothing but a smokescreen for the rearmament of Hezbollah, and Israel is not permitted to do the job the UNIFIL and the Lebanese military were supposed to do in the first place.

    How is UNIFIL anything but a hindrance that prolongs this situation?

22. It was perfectly OK as long as they were bombing innocent women in children. But now it’s our people, and the politicians are suddenly complaining.

23. Smh not letting Israel kill UN peacekeepers without being annoyed by complaints is so anti-semitic, you should cheer them on or you’re literally Hitler.
