That’s what a peacekeeper is. Thats literally what a peacekeeper does.

Peacekeepers aren’t people who use violence to keep peace. They are people who use nonviolence to keep peace, diplomatically.

The word for what you’re thinking of is “soldier”

Well there’s some. France has stopped sending weapons. Ireland has issued sanctions. The South Africans have fucking brought them to court for genocide. Nicaragua just cut diplomatic ties.

There’s been varying degrees of consequences from maybe a quarter of the world’s countries.

But we need more, of course. Especially from the US.

Their job is to record war crimes. Israel doesn’t like when people record their war crimes. Thats why they’ve murdered hundreds (thousands?) of journalists

Yeah, but this isn’t new. The Israeli paramilitary assassinated a UN mediator in 1948 because they were afraid his peace deal wouldn’t be good for the Israeli State

The assassination was organized by Yitzhak Shamir, who was later elected as Israel’s prime minister.

This isn’t new. They’ve been assassinating UN mediators since before they were even granted Statehood.

Their job isn’t to stop war crimes. Their job is go record war crimes and report back to the UN, where the world’s job is to use this information to stop future war crimes by diplomatic or violent methods

Fun fact: an Israeli paramilitary assassinated a UN mediator in 1948 because they were afraid his peace deal wouldn’t be good for the Israeli State

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folke_Bernadotte

The assassination was organized by Yitzhak Shamir, later elected prime minister of Israel.

Zionists have always been terrorists, attacking the UN since before they were even given an official State.
