Reading MSM like CNN it's very hard to see compassion and self examination in Biden/Harris. Biden is painted as a reluctant "victim" of Israel's war mongering demands but of course this is rubbish. US wants a huge dominant base in the Middle East. Israel will help them achieve this, that's the plan.

Re critics of ICC/ICJ, the US and Israel don't "recognise" the legality of rulings on Gaza so ignore them.

As far as I know the UN have a 10,000 protective peacekeeping force between the Israel border and Litani River in Lebanon. Can Ryan/Jeremy give information on what happens to them with Israel's bombardment of Lebanon worsening. Do they leave? It's hard to find info. Thanks.

The UN is proving to be worse than useless.

The UN is operating in Lebanon with peacekeeping assistance and humanitarian aid. They act as a buffer between Israel and Lebanon after conflict from the late 1970s with Israel banished from south Lebanon around 2000. (Long story very short). UN peacekeeping in Lebanon is quoted in article dated yesterday 1/10/24 link above.
