“The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital.”
UN peacekeepers are present in south Lebanon to support a return to stability under a 2006 Security Council mandate. Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and of Security Council resolution 1701, according to UNIFIL, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon.
I hope that there will be serious consequences for it.
I doubt there will be. With no consequences for an ongoing genocide, injuries to a couple of peacekeepers won’t even be a blip on the radar.
Remember - these are the people who warn Palestinians to evacuate to a ‘safe zone’ and then bomb that safe zone. When, you know, they’re not busy blowing up aid convoys and whatnot.

I doubt it too but hope springs eternal.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
