Why do the Israeli soldiers not get these kind of detailed articles written about them?
No need to answer this question because it's obvious.

Nice. Now where are the hundreds of IDF who killed medical staff, journalists, and innocent civilians? I assume we have their names too?

The IDF killed peacekeepers too. Somehow they got off.

IDF soldiers are NOT in Terrorist Iran.
They’re vacationing on the coast of Spain or some Island in Greece. They’re the good guys.
Nothing beats a jet2 holiday after committing endless war crimes.

Literally the most anti-zionist country in Europe, but ok.

Remind me again what these "peacekeepers" did when Israeli violated the ceasefire. The one Israel violates to this day.
Remind me what they did when Israel shot at the "peacekeepers"
Also Ireland is only anti Israel in rhetoric.

They put forward legislation to ban trade with the occupied territories. In response, they got threatened with crippling economic action by their largest trading partner, the United States. A smear campaign in the US is also ongoing. In spite of that, the legislation is still moving forwards.

Good luck with imposing sanctions on one EU member state and not the other 27.

Imagine not implementing a full ban on a genocidal state. Also imagine not even passing it yet.

Sarcastically saying "Imagine X" only works if it's not actually difficult to imagine.

Imagine Slovenia passing a full weapons embargo on Israel while Ireland transports weapons to Israel over their airspace.
Imagine not watching the video of an Irish person debunking the nonsense that their government is not ran by Zionists.

Pretty much everything anti-Israel in the EU is backed by Ireland. The fact that there are enough Zionist voices to drown them out a lot of the time doesn't change that fact.

And Spain, which is why Germany has yet to bring a measure to censure Ireland in the EU (in the way Hungary has been censured for rule-of-law failures).

Except guarding Israel against Hezbollah.
And transporting weapons to Israel for the genocide.
Ireland is all talk and little action. The Irish oppose Israel. But the Irish government is compromised.

Uh... Israel kinda sorta really hates UNIFIL. Now UNIFIL isn't fundamentally changing anything, but it's been consistently a pain in their ass because they can't just fire at Western peacekeepers.

Israeli forces fire on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon
UNFIL gladly fought Hezbollah for Israel. They even bought Israeli weapons like UZIs. UNFIL had one job when Israel invaded and it wasn not 'abandon all posts'
You are dreaming if you think UNFIL does not work for Israel. Even their territories are 0% Israeli

Notice that no actual UN soldiers were fired at; it's just equipment. Now imagine if those were Lebanese—or worse, Palestinian. The whole thing is pretty farcical don't get me wrong, but it's an occasionally useful farce, which is why Israel fucking hates them. See "assessment and controversy" and "confrontations" sections. It's also no coincidence that so many incidents of UNIFIL soldiers dying were perpetrated by Israel or SLA.
Examples?

Where is the Blue zone? Is any of it inside of Israel. Multiple articles about clashes with Hezbollah are easily found.
UNFIL should have fired back at Israel. They bitched out. Because they cannot fire at their bosses.
