Might be a bit tougher for the IDF is their opponents fight back.
So Israel is going to conduct airstrikes on UN bases now?
@shreddy_scientist @Sundial There seems to be absolutely no red line at this point. Maybe it’s a good thing, they start bombing the UN then they become an enemy combatant and the rest of the world can go take care of the problem.
But if the UN defends themselves against Israel then Israel will acquire the right to defend themselves against the UN.
Best news all week
Neither UNIFIL nor U.N. Headquarters in New York have publicly reiterated that the peacekeepers can shoot back at the Israelis if they are attacked.
This is a nothinburger. Of course they can, in theory. But they won’t, and they’re not even hinting they might. It’s just an article of wishful thinking and what legally is written in their charter. But reality is a different deal.
Good.
