Israel putting their flags on Lebanese soil is very concerning. That's invading, not defending
Lebanon started a war with Israel and aided by Iran fired rockets into Israel. That declaration of war gives Israel the rights to not only defend but to also act. It's called self defense. There are no innocent people in war except children and old people. Every citizen of every country is responsible for the things their government does on behalf of their country. America was taken by force not too long ago. If Israel beats Lebanon why can't they raise their own flag?
Actually it is. If you know someone is killing and attacking your country you go and destroy their ability to do so. You don’t just sit and take continuous attacks. But then again you probably don’t understand the politics of Hezbolla, Hamas, Houthi’s or Iran .
@@unclesven4515okay we’ll Israel has been illegally occupying Palestine for 50 years. The Palestinians have a right to self defense.
@@unclesven4515 you don’t know how much is hated Israel in Europe. Everybody is in the squares in Europe to protest against Israel and pro Palestinians. Even though in Italy the government prohibited the protest nobody gave a shit and everyone in the streets protesting. Our government is very prone to the Americans, they are their waiters. But Our Italian defense minister said that the UN doesn’t take orders from Israel and he was fuming during the press conference. I hope that everything goes well for everyone but I strongly doubt
@@unclesven4515they attacked because you started first invaded southern Lebanon in1978 and occupied the Lebanon territory till now
No point in asking questions to Us's or Israel & you'll get the same hypocritical answers & lies over & over again.
"Go and speak to the IDF if you want information, we're the Pentagon we don't deal with information of that kind"
U are paying them from americans pockets so they have right to know
hahahahahahaha Yes go and speak to the IDF if you want information" It doesn't come any funnier. These people really insult the intelligence of their listeners. Although why anyone listens to them at all at this stage is a mystery.
I met a Fijian ex peacekeeper more than a decade ago who's UN position between Israel and Lebanon had come under Israeli artillery or tank fire.
Several Fijians were killed as were a couple of local boys.
He had pictures of the event - it had really traumatised him.
Israel is doing what it's always done.
Nonsense. What they've always done is defend themselves. And this time it's going to be a harsh lesson. I've spent time with UN 'Peacekeepers'. Using them as an example of moral behavior is laughable. The rapes, the extortion, the bribes, the drug use.
Honestly I believe Jesus would want nothing to do with Israel.
Do you now. Way to add value.
read your bible. this is the dumbest statement I've ever heard!
@@Onelifeministries Christianity is the New Israel.....Romans evens speak about not all Israelis being of Israel............Christinity is the classic understanding, the nation of Israel being what it is, is modern western religion only.
lol of course not new Jews crucified him. yet evangelical christians support israel LOL
😂😂
Social media has made it possible for most people to understand these inhuman people and what they stand for . Is a total disgrace. Even their coverups are laughable and they look even worst and disgusting
Israel has the right to defend against UN peacekeepers.
And medics, reporters, elderly and children.
What is the actual role of UN Peace Keeping Force? Genuine question
observation witness.
oof
To be a sandbags since they aren't allow to firing back.
😂😂.. such a waste of money
Democratic leaders under the pressure from US gov't, and US gov't under this race's financial pressure.
They did that so many time
We’re not born yesterday
UN is doing what for the last 20 years, certainly not upholding IN agreement 1701 which was to Keep Hezzbollah out of Southern Lebanon
Unapologetic hypocrisy
USS Liberty vibes
And everyone is going to completely forget about it or find some way to justify it just like they are in these comments.
🤡 vibes from you
@@jonlbdgare you familiar with USS Liberty?
@@jonlbdg You need to brush up on global history - you're embarrassing yourself... like a rambling 3rd grader that didn't do his Middle East history homework.
They do not like being monitored by third parties that’s for sure
The reporter spoke the truth
That's the play. US ignoring atrocities can't ignore this reporter. Interestingly this edit didn't include the part where they identify themselves and the media they're representing.
as usual.. just talk, concerning but ZERO Action from US
The chosen ones doing the Devils work.
And exactly why would that shock anybody ?
Thank youuuuu!😭 OMG! Someone finally said it!
🥹...told myself I wouldn't cry!
@@jameselliott216 countless massacres spanning over 70 years , I can't be shocked by anything they do , I'm always disgusted but never shocked
There’s a UN peacekeeping corps in Lebanon? They’re doing a crap job
Whatever Israel do that is right?
I guess not since they are stopping Israel stealing territory again
what do you expect them to do? fight Hezbollah and the IDF?
They were killed. 😱😭💀
@@rramos117 well their job was to prevent terrorists from taking over to begin with as per the 1701 agreement.
Pat Ryder: "We know NOTHING"
So in other words, what's the point of this guy standing at that podium? He don't say anything😕Honestly, these briefings are so farcical , i don't even know why these journalists attend because they never get any straight answers.
He didn't even mention UN or entire lebonan under striking
Oh yeah they’re still assessing if the attack on the peacekeepers is real or fake. Yeah.
And what about keeping Hezbollah to the northof latani river?? UN clearly failed or didn't want to do it??
That is not the only provision in that resolution why don't you mention Israel leaving Lebanese territory?
@@thusomaepa1852is hezbollah invading israel or israel invading Lebanon?
@@zackfozzy7506 Israel is invading Lebanon what does that have to do with anything iv Said?
@@zackfozzy7506 Israel must leave Lebanese territory according to that UN resolution
This dude answered absolutely none of any of those questions
Masters in the art of deception Satan's no. 1
Deleting comments within seconds
It's tragic. In a 💩storm⛈️ world, they want every comment to conform to their idea of civility. In our imperfection in addressing atrocities, crimes against every human alive, against you and me, by the desecration of human life anywhere, foul language is inevitable. Makes you think UA-cam has an agenda outside of upholding civility. I cannot be convinced otherwise as many comments of mine that were not offensive at all, in the least bit, have been deleted.
@@jameselliott216 exactly, no terms of agreement broken regarding language and still deleted due to the narrative it goes against
They are still stuck at “concerning” from last 1 year
This people are spineless.
Shame on all war mongers.
what a cover up!
U..N. Peacekeepers .. What a joke!!! 😂😂😂😂
bullshit briefing again
UN peacekeepers are not doing their job and never have😠
Not true
Doesn’t matter Israeli troops opened fired in violation of humanitarian law.
Because they are not occupiers puppet
Exactly.. they are under hisbulla
🤬🤬🤬
The Peace Keepers knew what hisbollah was doing....
My father in law was a UN Peacekeeper that served in Korean War and in Cypress. He'd stand against Israel if he was still with us.
We are certainly very, very concerned about that; that's all no more no less.
Thats normal for israel
These reporters ask just one or two questions but can't formulate them in a clear well thought out succinct manner, they ramble on and on!!
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 is a resolution that was intended to resolve the 2006 Lebanon War. The resolution calls for a full cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon to be replaced by Lebanese and United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) forces deploying to southern Lebanon, and the disarmament of armed groups including Hezbollah, with no armed forces other than UNIFIL and Lebanese military south of the Litani River, which flows about 29 km (18 mi) north of the border. It emphasizes Lebanon's need to fully exert government control and calls for efforts to address the unconditional release of abducted Israeli soldiers.
we are going to bs investigate...,,,,,,typical time delaying excuses..
Concernings😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂pathetic!!!!
You supply the enemy you get attacked
Oy vey, I can almost see the tiny hat from here.
@@eliaspinero1337 funny you have a biblical name. You're not worthy of it
@@lisettegarcia I’m not worthy of it because I don’t blindly defend Jews like you do? Christians need to stop defending them for no reason.
@@eliaspinero1337funny how you equate morality in war with Jews
can you provide any material and factual evidence of the Lebanese peacekeepers at this base providing aid or weapons to Hezbollah? LOL
The US military wants in on the fight so bad that they can't help but comment and give advice.
What is UN “peacekeepers” doing in Lebanon? They did not appear to be keeping peace…. They did not stop Hezbollah from starting a war and continuing to strike…. What is their mission.
General is lieing
What did he lie about?
about time. get UN out of NYC too.
HezBallz be the problem. Ask them the question.
so they attack the un peace keepers instead of hezbollah
you think this helps the situation?
Ooopsy.......
Crap ! You are evading the question !
🙄 - is he asking a question or giving a speech? Where is the part where he asks the Lebanese government to condemn the artillery fire on my synagogue two days ago???
LOL you mean Hezbollah?
@BoCaine if the missile had a return addy, it blew up when it landed. All I know is where it came from: 🇱🇧
@@lisettegarcia your hatred has blinded you to reality... a story as old as time
Why is he studdering so much isn’t saying. Nothing no but ugh ugh ugh ugh
No doubt used American supplied munitions!
Twisting facts?
WHAT WERE THESE UN TOURISTS DOING ON THE BORDER
Diplomatic means- my way or highway
UN are you helping Hezbollah?
UN is there after 2006 lebanon war... Israel know it.. yet they still attack..How dumb is it..
Palestine has pulled down American flags on American soil and planted some Palestinians flags....
Shi if i was Palestinian and knowing that the country that i live in is supporting the war instead of trying to get a ceasefire, id pull down the American flag as an act of protest
@@daanyal2550 pulling down a flag is an act of war....
Condem Israel 😂
Then they should leave, there is no peace there to keep.
🤲🏽🇵🇸Palestinian 🏡 homeland/country with its own borders, currency and Jerusalem as the capital inshallah
Limited 😂😂 with their bs
Yeah... now the UN plays the victim 😒
ah yes what a justification for bombing innocent troops at a base that has nothing to do with the accusations of others LOL bet you think your shit don't stink...
Israel completely violated international law
Lol you are sick
shameful
This is USS Liberty all over again 😢
Israel has the wright to defend itself is a joke they started the commotion in Lebanon maybe they should ask the general does Israel have the wright too exist
