Sorry for the poor links to Al Jazeera’s live page.

Lebanon’s National News Agency is reporting that several Sri Lankan peacekeepers have been injured in another Israeli attack targeting the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) headquarters in southern Lebanon.

The report said an Israeli Merkava tank targeted one of UNIFIL’s observation towers on the main road connecting Tyre to Naqoura, in front of a Lebanese Army checkpoint, injuring the Sri Lankan contingent stationed there.

It said Israeli artillery fired a shell that struck the main entrance of the UNIFIL command centre in Naqoura, causing damage to the site.

To clarify, after wounding two Indonesian UN peacekeepers yesterday, Israel has attacked the UN again injuring Sri Lankan UN peacekeepers.

    It was a tank firing an artillery shell…

    It’s not like they can call in an airstrike bro.

    They’re there because if a country fires on them, it’s supposed to mean a shit ton of sanctions and loss of aid and especially arms sales.

    The problem is Biden has said repeatedly for decades that he’ll never ever lessen his support for Israel under any situation.

    And Bibi is a big enough dick to take advantage of that.

    Did you ever watch The Good Place? It’s like the part that has the nicest guy in the world, and a psychopath kid who takes advantage of it.

      Except Biden isn’t the nicest guy in the world. He has been a genocidal imperialist for all of his political career. He said in the 80s, when Israel was invading Lebanon, committing and supporting massacres, that if it wasn’t for Israel the US needed to create it.

      Despite his dementia, on this topic he knows exactly what he is doing, and his administration is set to continue on this course, even after he will be replaced by Harris.

        Neither was “the nicest guy in the world” he was blindly doing anything that was asked of him and completely wasting his life because he guessed the afterlife was based off some kind of points system, he happened to get almost all of it right.

        Biden believes the moral solution is always to 100% support Israel.

        Regardless of if either of them guesses right or not, they’re doing the exact same thing.

        That show is amazing and you should rewatch it
