Why do you want the peacekeepers out? Why not coordinate with them?

Because the Peacekeepers aren't there to fight a war, that's not their role. The real question is, what are they still there for? There is no real answer from the UN about this. Their mission was to try to disarm Hezbollah, which they clearly they didn't accomplish. Now Hezbollah is using the weapons the UN was supposed to remove (but didn't) to fight the IDF. And the UN is apparently just going to leave Peacekeepers stranded in the middle of a warzone because they're still pretending there isn't a war happening? Or are they hoping for a conflict to occur between the Peacekeeping force and the IDF? Like is the UN now trying to escalate the conflict? Really, what are they trying to accomplish?

Sure, never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence and the UN is a very incompetent organization. But this is getting so it goes beyond being able to be explained by incompetence.

What about Yahya Sinwar facing justice for what he did on October 7? You want that too, right?

Yeah I guess, but they don't have a right to attack Israel... which is what they did.

I'm not here to do google searches for you. There have been numerous Ukrainian attacks on the Kerch Bridge and on Russian supply ships to Crimea. And this isn't some accusation of Ukraine trying to commit genocide, it's a recognition of Ukraine being in a war, and this is how wars have been fought for thousands of years.

People who don't hate Israel and are desperately redefining the word genocide understand this. It would be different if Israel prevented civilians from leaving and let them starve along with Hamas. But read the article, that's not the case. They are trying to get civilians out of the area. And even if the rumours prove to be true, the "General's Plan" (which is actually a discussion from retired generals, not active duty military) the plan says that civilians that refuse to leave could do so when they run out of food. Hamas can surrender when they run out of food.

I have doubts that this will even happen because I have serious doubts that it would even work. Hamas are just the kind of assholes that would stockpile a year's supply of rations in their underground lairs while the people they claim to be protecting go hungry. But if it did work, it would significantly reduce the number of civilian casualties (since they could leave the area) which is what we all want, right? Right?
