UN Peacekeepers Discover Israeli Drones Can 'Drop Grenades' on Them
Mainstream media dutifully reports that two more Lebanese civilians are dead from Israeli strikes, with UNIFIL peacekeepers also experiencing a drone 'dropping a grenade' on their troops, according to Al Jazeera. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was established in 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal, and later to restore international peace and security. Decades on, it appears
their principal task is now dodging precision munitions. One might wonder if the 'interim' part of their name is a running joke. This isn't the first time UN personnel have found themselves in Israel's crosshairs; from the 1996 Qana massacre at a UN compound to numerous incidents in Gaza, the blue flag seems to function more as a target than a shield. Yet, the narrative remains steadfast: Israel
is merely defending itself. Perhaps the UNIFIL incident is just another unfortunate 'self-defense' against... international peacekeepers? The sheer audacity required to bomb UN positions, yet retain unwavering U.S. and European support, suggests a geopolitical immunity only afforded to those with very specific friends in very high places. And very deep pockets, considering OpenSecrets.org
documents that organizations like AIPAC funnel millions into US political campaigns every election cycle, ensuring such 'incidents' remain just footnotes.
