Israel Defense Forces tells Ireland and Unifil to remove peacekeepers from Lebanese border outpost Irish Times, Oct 4 2024

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has told Ireland to remove its peacekeepers from an outpost on the border with Lebanon as its invasion of the country continues.

Sources confirmed the request was made to the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) and individual countries contributing troops, including Ireland. Israel has been told the troops will remain in place.

edit: this part is probably also worth highlighting

There is one Irish outpost on the Lebanese-Israeli border, which is known as the Blue Line. This outpost, designated post 6-52, is manned by a single Irish platoon who are responsible for observing the border and reporting on incursions.

very fascinating to watch this bozo stumble his way through all his pre-prepared zionist talking point. you can see the wheels turning as he tries to remember all the key points he’s supposed to hit.

uuuhhh… october 7th! 1400! hamas terrorists! massacre! hostages! humanitarian crisis in… wait, was i allowed to say gaza again?

the new POLITICS OF JOY is not looking very joyful

if you go to the harris-walz merch store and begin scrolling down you can actually see the right-wing shift in the democratic party. all the lgbt stuff, like the kamala pride stickers, are hangovers from the old biden merch store. any of the bi and trans flag stuff that the biden store would sell is nowhere in sight. even the ‘control guns not girls’ is a biden antique. apart from a few reproductive rights items, the new harris-waltz stuff doesn’t convey anything resembling a political message or vision. they’re instead offering the most uninspiring campaign logo imaginable, a merch line with the slogan ‘yes she can’, another with ‘when we fight we win’, and some camo stuff that feels like its made to appeal to conservative voters. it’s all very dull and visually unappealing.

for comparison, this is what the biden-harris merch store looked like in november 2020:

I’m glad Americans are finally waking up. Biden may not be perfect, but he is the only candidate who can beat Trump. I’ll be doing my part by voting for him as many times as possible this November!

From Al Mayadeen:

Lebanese Resistance field source to Al Mayadeen: Heroic epic which our fighters are conducting against Israeli elite forces at several axes in South Lebanon resulted in killing, wounding of more than 80 soldiers, officers; almost five tanks destroyed.

Saw this just now as a news update from NRK (machine translated from Norwegian):

Iran’s defense chief threatens Israel with destroying all Israeli infrastructure if Israel attacks Iran. AFP reports.

“The bombing will be repeated with higher intensity and all infrastructure in the country will be affected,” Major General Mohammad Bagheri said on state television.

s have to stop trying to make “politics of joy” a thing

god i wish that was me

having both candidates be able to form coherent sentences kinda takes the fun out of it huh

off to a strong start with a hitler-off on palestine (walz won’t even say the word ‘palestinian’ lol)

no way that’s true, but if that’s the lie they’re sticking with then yeah, that could be a sign they’re hesitant to retaliate

they really do think the iron dome is some magic forcefield lmao

Syrian operated S-300PM
