Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

UN 'peacekeepers' mon ami, is this a fecking joke or what ? Apparently some members of the IDF have been taking pot shots at these UN 'peacekeepers'. I was intrigued by this story so I read on, it seems there are around 10,000 UN 'peacekeepers' stationed in the Israel/Lebanon border area. Just what the feck they are doing there except posting on TikTok, playing backgammon or scratching their bums I have no idea, have you ? According to UN Resolution 1701, Hezbollah should have disarmed, well fair enough we can forget all about that, but they should not be south of the Litani river either. Instead under the watchful gaze of 10,000 UN 'peacekeepers' Hezbollah has militarised the border area with thousands of well armed, well trained fighters, constructed miles and miles of underground tunnels, some leading under the border into Israel, and right under these 'peacekeeper's' noses, have fired 8,000 rockets/missiles into Israel in the last 12 months alone.

Someone is taking the wee wee mon ami, how much is it costing taxpayers the world over to keep 10,000 toy soldiers doing the square root of feck all in Lebanon, doing so little that the Israelis have decided to do their job for them, with the result that Lebanon may soon resemble Gaza. Peacekeepers my arse.

You forgot to mention the women, kids, doctors, journos and refugees.

Nevertheless mon ami, could you possibly explain the purpose of these 10,000 UN 'peacekeepers' on the Israel/Lebanon border, especially now that it is self evident that keeping the peace they most assuredly are not.

You tell me the purpose of the UN Gunga Din and I will show my arse in your window of choice.
