Just did some reading on the history of UNIFIL, here’s some highlights

In February 2021, Lebanese journalist and opponent of Hezbollah Lokman Slim was abducted and murdered by Hezbollah while in a UNIFIL-controlled area of Lebanon.

An official source within the Lebanese government informed Al Jazeera that, despite UNIFIL’s shortcomings, the force had been responsible for regularly hosting and mediating negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli forces, helping to defuse tensions.

On 6 April 1980, clashes between UNIFIL peacekeepers and the South Lebanon Army, an Israeli-backed Lebanese militia, began when the SLA attacked Irish troops based in At Tiri. The Irish soldiers held their ground and called in Dutch and Fijian peacekeepers as reinforcements. The battle ended on 12 April when the Dutch contingent employed TOW missiles against the SLA. During the battle, two UNIFIL peacekeepers were killed: Stephen Griffin, a 21-year-old Private from the 46th Irish Battalion, from Rahoon in County Galway, and Sevati Sovonaivalu of the Fijian Army. One SLA soldier, 19-year old Massoud Bazzi, was also killed.[239][240]

That’s some serious malpractice

Luka has tried to play both sides for a while, although he’s turned more eastward as the west has shunned him more for the Ukrainian invasion support. Maybe this is an attempt at rapprochement?

I don’t know what whales ever did to Japan. Is this Japan trying to get other nations to whale on their behalf?

Well reasoned arguments. Sure would be nice if they’d have enough spine over there to try to rebut your actual points but that would make the acoustics less conductive to echos

Nice work, thanks for contributing!

How dare you have a different opinion. It’s not hard to block the bot, I don’t see why everyone gets their jimmies so rustled about it.

I think they were being deliberately obtuse but I could be wrong

This is how we end up with snow crash.

Sure, if you completely ignore the fact that Spez was more than happy to harbor The_Donald until they went full on domestic terrorist.

Also, lol, RUN DMCA

Damn, I wish I knew about this workaround before the takedown, I know someone who could benefit from it

So that’s how they’re addressing their defense industrial base employment shortages. Gross.

That community is way bigger anyway

I just took a peek and one of their mods is from Lemmy.ml so not exactly surprised.
