        They are already being called hamas just for being there. Then they might as well defend their positions, as they would do if any enemy force attacked them. Israel gets away with too many privileges.

    What were they watching out for anyway? That is clear for Hezbollah to fire rockets?

    They don’t need a watchtower to not even try to implement UN1701.

      Contrary to Israeli lies UNIFIL is fullfilling their mandate as best as is possible in the given limits. eing shot at by Israel certainly doesn’t help.

      UNIFIL conducted 18 Patrols a day looking for illegal weapons in the area in the period from February to June. They removed multiple Hezbollah weapons caches.

      They also dilligently monitored fire from both sides in the area, with an overwhelming majority being Israeli attacks. This also explains why Israel is eager to remove UNIFIL monitoring capeabilities.

      If the UNIFIL mandate was expanded to include proactive fighting, it would be against Israels interests as the majority of breaches of resolution 1701 are coming from the Israeli side.

        The vast majority of breaches are by Hezbollah. Until the current round of fighting things were relatively peaceful between Israel and the Lebanese government.

          That’s an obvious lie. If you bothered to actually read the report, you can see on page 2 that the vast majority of shots are coming from Israel.

      How does your comment even make sense. No, seriously. Please explain it. How would the UN mission there be watching that “is clear for Hezbollah to fire rockets”.

      Are you fucking insane or just a terrorist genocide supporter?

    At some point the UN peacekeepers will… you know, need to actually start keeping the peace. By … means necessary.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
