    Because of course they are. They accuse Hamas or Hezbolla of using human shields all the time an as we now understand perfectly about this terrorist state: every accusation a confession

    At this point, what is the purpose of the Irish peace keepers? Especially if they are letting tanks just roll up and then right past them.

      I think they got in over their head. They were never gonna be able to outmanuver the entire IDF so they were enthusiastic but with limited actual capability to do stuff

      they were never equipped to fight or put a stop to fighting. they are just observers equipped only to defend themselves if they are personally attacked.

      what is their purpose now? well I suppose now they are helping make isn’trael even more of a pariah by not moving on their illegitimate orders and being used as human shields. But them continuing to observe is also good, the IOF wants them gone or dead for the same reason they kill journalists. They don’t want third parties reporting their war crimes.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if IDF “accidentally” hits the keepers
