With Israel endangering the lives of UN Peacekeepers in UNIFIL, as conflict with Lebanon escalates, when does the UN finaly draw the line?
Right, so Israel have taken aim directly at the United Nations itself now, having fired both yesterday and the day before on a United Nations peacekeeper headquarters within Lebanon when their positions were known. Israel knowingly fired on UN peacekeepers, which is yet again yet another violation of international humanitarian law.
But why should we be surprised? Israel has made it obvious it cares nothing for international humanitarian law and for as long as cover is provided for them internationally by the lies of the US, as well as within the UN itself, as the US protects Israel from any censure on the UN Security Council.
But having directly attacked the UN itself now, as it has by striking UNIFIL headquarters, does this put the US or the UN in the more awkward spot, because the US may have to now choose between their loyalties to Israel or their loyalties to the UN and international humanitarian law, but equally if the UN does nothing still, even now, when it’s own people are threatened, more people are going to be asking than already have been frankly, if the UN is even fit for purpose when it seems powerless to do anything?
Right, so Israeli aggression and atrocity, I think so many of us now having been paying particular attention to the Middle East more than perhaps we’ve ever done over the past year and having witnessed the scenes and imagery that have been brought to us uncensored via various social media platforms might be completely unsurprised that Israel have now directly attacked the UN itself, having targeted deliberately and knowingly, a United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, UNIFIL headquarters within Lebanon, inside the Blue Line, which Israel is forbidden to cross at the border town of Naqoura, which is also near the southernmost Lebanese coast.
An IDF Merkava Tank opened fire directly at the UNIFIL headquarters, hitting a watchtower dead centre, which caused the two occupants of said watchtower to fall, both having hospitalised from their injuries, both being Indonesian nationals, because that’s the thing with UNIFIL, it s collaboration of some 46 UN nations who commit their troops to it.
Where Israel were threatening the positions of 30 Irish UNIFIL taskforce peacekeepers a few days ago at Maroun Al Ras, 36 miles to the east, having now since backed down incidentally, I covered that in more detail in a video the other day, it seems the IDF forces amassing near Naqoura were completely unperturbed by the fact that lying between them and where they want to go are more UNIFIL troops unwilling to back down, their Irish comrades having instilled a belief that the IDF can be stood up to, the arrogance of the IDF now apparently wanting to show them differently, by firing directly upon them, upon the main peacekeeping base for UNIFIL in Lebanon as this particular site actually is. It’s striking at the heart of UNIFL therefore as Israel demands the UN get out of their way.
But it’s not as simple as that.

Hi, I’m Damien Willey. I’m a former welder, but now I’m a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on )
I’m an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
