‘Peace-team adviser’ wants Israel to eradicate Irish UN troops who have refused to flee at Israel’s demand
A US government ‘peace-team adviser’ who has briefed the US State and Defence departments has called for Israel to ‘carpet bomb’ and drop napalm over the whole area garrisoned by Irish peacekeeping troops who have refused Israel’s demands to withdraw while Israeli forces get on with whatever atrocities they are planning. The Irish troops’ ‘area of responsibility’ incorporates a number of civilian villages, making Matthew Brodsky’s suggestion an outright war crime under the UN’s 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW):
Brodsky’s bio claims extensive influence in US government circles and expertise in foreign policy in the Middle East:
The perimeter of the Irish troops’ ‘6-52’ base on the Blue Line between Lebanon and Israel is being ‘swarmed’ by Israeli tanks and Mickey Doyle, apparently one of the garrison, has posted video showing how close explosions are coming to the base:
As Fintan McCarthy has pointed out, the Israeli forces are essentially using the UN troops as human shields:
Brodsky posted his deranged take in response to an X post showing the Irish area and the extent of Israel’s ‘evacuation orders’ that have displaced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians:
With ‘peace advisers’ like Brodsky close to the US government, no wonder it continues to collude in Israel’s countless war crimes. The Irish people have stood steadfastly in solidarity with the millions of victims of those crimes – centuries of colonial and imperialist attitudes like Brodsky’s and crimes perpetrated against the Irish have taught them the importance of solidarity and resistance.

Yet another attention seeking Trumpian desperately seeking some sort of relevance.
Talk about pots and kettles! Since the silence of your criticism over the incompetence, lies and cronyism of Starmer’s regime, regularly exposed here, is deafening, you should look in the mirror.
Yet another attention seeking Starmerite desperately seeking some sort of relevance.
Ahh, the old dear freezing, two tier wheezing, predictably sneering scumbag.
Trump had Starmers number LOL. “Popular”
You utter hostage
SH it’s obvious YOUR sir Keith Freegear Tinear FreebiesScrounger Sponger Venal Gobbler Vile Liar Starmer, is supremely OK with that🔻🔻🔻
b.t.w. Spare £££ sixty THOUSAND pounds anyone …‘to MINGLE with’ Sir Keith Venal Starmer❓❔❓❔❓❔
No ? ? ? Poor things. Sir Keith Starmer DOSENT have to MINGLE with the LIKES of YOU⛔️⛔️⛔️
He doesn’t have to ANSWER to the likes of you🔺🔺🔺
He doesn’t have to care for the likes of you📛📛📛
Just to recap, Billy:
From your previous and numerous statements on this site, your public position is:
– that the articulated idea of carpet bombing peace keeping UN troops who are protecting civilians with napalm in order to slaughter more civilians in Lebanon who are considered untermenschen for being the ‘wrong’ ethnic group is beyond the pale;
– whilst at the same time you are entirely on board and supportive of civilians actually being attacked and slaughtered for the same reasons simply because they speak Russian and are opposed to the same fascist mindset aimed at exterminating them in Eastern Ukraine and are against any troops from outside the immediate area actively protecting those particular civilians from slaughter.
The inconsistency clearly indicates that you are in need of a functioning moral compass and marks you out as nothing more than a degenerate hypocrite.
No one here is buying your double standards. Go crawl back under your rock.
Wonder what Irish Joe makes of it?
Joe is only ‘Irish’ when it suits him. He is the clampit who plagiarised Neil Kinnocks speeches for goodness sake. Biden will back Isreal to hilt. A couple of hundred dead Irish peace keeping troops won’t change him siding with Isreal.
My sentiments exactly, exiled.
The dodderin’ arld bastard’d be jiggered if he was asked to explain just what the Irish tricolour represents.
He’s about as Irish as I am Maori. (For example).
Toffee I am Irish, with a bit Scottish and English 4 or 5 generations back, but I wouldn’t be singing Flower of Scotland or Jerusalem at the rugby matches. I met one American in Boston USA who said his fore fathers came from ‘county Connemara’. I hadn’t the heart to tell they’re a mountain range in Galway.
Well, given that Hezbollah have said they will not engage with the IOF, in the vicinity of the UNIFIL base, there’s only one conclusion to be drawn – the IOF are using UNIFIL as human shields.
The cowardly Zionist bastards!
I want to know why our media – I’m looking at you BBC and Guardian – don’t report this. The slightest criticism of Israel and you are immediately banned, yet they are actively covering up war-crimes. We need to know this. Watching a certain channel on Youtube last night where the American answering questions to the press corps, stated that there was no way there would be ceasefire negotiations with Hamas as they were a terror organisation. In answer to the next question he stated that there were no ceasefire negotiations, because Hamas refused to engage with them and hadn’t responded for weeks, so it was all their fault. These are the folks supposedly in charge FGS!
“Yet another attention seeking Trumpian desperately seeking some sort of relevance.”
Happily more-and-more Americans are realising that Harris and Trump are – politically – identical. The next POTUS will either be Ms Trump-Harris or Mr Harris-Trump. Other than the name, the two are near-identical. Pepsi and Coke.
The covid deception, Ukraine, Gaza and Lebanon have disclosed the rotten-ness of US representational democracy to millions of Americans. Interesting times….
For anyone interested, there’s a decent film about besieged Irish UN peacekeepers in the Congo during the 60’s called: “The siege of Jadotville”
For a neutral country, the paddies (a term of endearment, before anyone wants to start) can certainly mix it when the chips are down.
That aside, for someone who supposedly advises on foreign issues, that brinsky certainly wa to to look at the domestic history and demographic before he spouts his shite.
I doubt the Irish communities in New York, Boston and Chicago would look upon the Jewish communities too favourably if the ibf were to hit the Irish UNIFIL Station. accidentally or otherwise.
And if this moron IS a trump acolyte, then i rather doubt its gonna bode too well for the orange one within the Irish sector, neither.
Toffee, nothing to do with most Jewish communities and everything to do with Zionists. A lot of Jews are appalled by Israel’s behaviour and supporting the Palestinian’s cause and want and end to the occupation..
It is mostly white Zionist like “Joe Irish” that are the biggest problem.
Well done to the Irish troops for standing their ground. Their are also Spanish forces in the border and I fully expect that they will stand their ground too.
I wonder what Trump thinks of Boris Johnson now that he has publicly stated that Trump lost in 2020:

Question:
(a) Are any British supplied weapons being used in the vicinity of this UN base containing Irish troops?
(b) Is the IOF being supplied with information by the UK in their operation in the vicinity of this UN base containing Irish Troops?
Perhaps the Foreign Secretary or the Defence Minister might want to make a Statement clarifying the situation?

Haha! More chance I’ll wake up in the Caribbean, than getting a fookin murmur from either the daylight nosferatu or the uncle tom – especially on the first question.
As for the second question, I think the israelis already know enough about UNIFIL deployments within Lebanon.
But of course, expect to be told (by benny) that they’re harbouring hizbollah, somehow; should the UNIFIL presence continue to frustrate the Israeli bloodlust.
Theres not only british used wespons but british troops providing air cover for the ITF (israeli terrorist force). There are also british ITF making vile videos of the enjoying their terrorism. God forbid a muslim went to fight in their countries we are definitely called terrorists and lose our citizenship. This happened to Tox Sharif in Syria just for taking aid. He lost his citizenship because he needed an armed escort.
The US likes so-called leaders like Zelensky and Netanyahu who further US goals but who get their own people killed.Who remembers when Zelensky was fated by Congress with Congressional leaders draping themselves in the Ukranian flag and showering them with $100 billion dollars. How things change, now Trump wants to do a deal with Russia and cut Zelensky’s panhandling activities. It’s early days yet but the same thing will happen to the Israelis who are a drain on the US, in fact Israel is a geostrategic drain on the US since most Muslim countries surrounding Israel hate the Israeli regime and by extension the US, NATO and the EU. Vassal states like Jordan and Egypt will have to eventually fall into line with their populations or their regimes will fall by popular demand. Israel/US can see which way the wind is blowing [BRICS and all that] so they have decided to lash out at all the Muslim neighbors in a sort of hail Mary pass in a last ditch effort to reverse the situation, It will not work of course, unfortunately many people will die, but Israel will eventually die of a thousand cuts.
Whilst Methinks a UN Force will eventually impose a 2 state solution on Israel, in this instance UNIFIL are a hinderence for Hezbollah
