    I wouldn’t be surprised if they ‘accidentally’ drop a few shells on the Irish UNIFIL positions. Israel is pissed at Ireland for recognizing Palestine.

      The Irish have lost 48 soldiers to the UNIFIL mission on the Blue Line over the decades. Some of the cases are pretty open and shut cases of the IDF firing on them while clearly identified.

      I get it. Ireland didn’t fight in WWII, so it needs to play catch-up.

    Hypothetically, because of course I don’t think it’s going to happen, what would a war between Israel and Ireland look like? Like mechanically how would it work? Who would be drawn in? My assumption is nobody because treaties are usually just pieces of paper that no one follows unless they feel like there’s an advantage for them in it.

      The Irish government officially cuts diplomatic ties with Israel and petitions the EU for some form of official mediation. As a neutral, peace-loving nation we implore the nations of the world to force both sides to peace.

      Unrelated, sales of balaclavas and digital watches skyrocket in specific areas of Ireland, and lots of lads holidays in Turkey and Cyprus get booked out.

      Alright, you got the realistic answer. Now for the game theory of everyone making the worst decisions.

      The Israelis steam roll the Blue Line and kill 300 Irish Soldiers.

      The Irish go to the EU for help and the EU military alliance is activated. Israel is given a week to stand down. They do not.

      The French Navy, German Army, and combined Air Force move to Greece to prepare for a fight in the Mediterranean.

      Israel refuses to back down. The US cannot sacrifice NATO so they declare neutrality and evacuate beyond the “Italian Line”.

      Next week the combined EU forces stage amphibious landings at Tel Aviv and Haifa. There are rumors the US is giving intelligence to the EU forces.

      The Israeli defense minister is last seen trying to tell a camera that Western forces are not in the city, but the camera also catches Leopard tanks rolling by in the background.

      Ireland would withdraw their forces from the region, maybe cut ties. Israel would lose a good amount of Western goodwill and nothing would happen. Even if Israel opens fire on Ireland’s troops it won’t lead to war. I don’t think it’s physically possible for either side to do anything more than bombing campaigns anyway.

        Ireland is EU. The EU is very capable of projecting ground forces. Other than that, yeah I agree.
