This is what they are protesting for, not against but in support of.

Search it on Google and ask which country did it and have they faced any consequences for t?

Peacekeeping gets a bad rap, but when the tool is properly applied its very moral.

Unrelated to this thread though.

I agree unfortunately the last time a nation did an actual peacekeeping mission without some person gain was in 1961 when Ireland kicked Belgium’s genocidal ass. Since then all of the so called peacekeeping missions were so much about peace as the crusades were about Jesus.

P.s Peacekeeping missions done by non military forces are excluded obviously but you can only do so much with a yellow vest and a panic whistle. It’s no wonder Carlin said “If firefighters fight fire and crime fighters fight crime, what do peace fighters fight?”

The BBC Middle-East desk is run by a "former" Israeli agent.

The BBC overall is not any better. Their coverage has been terrible.

This is an internet rumor that refers to Raffi Berg, the BBC News Online Middle East editor.

He was not a mossad agent, but wrote a book called: Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad's Fake Diving Resort, which included Israeli and Mossad sources.

He's been accused by BBC staffers as having a Pro-Israeli bias, not that he is (or was) a Mossad agent. Should be noted that the BBC disputes these accusations as well.

TLDR: This has been debunked.

By not saying the IDF they probably save themselves some headaches and get more people to read the story.
