    Supporting Palestinian armed resistance is not cool in the West Bank… where Israel is currently bulldozing UNRWA offices.

      I would have zero problem with West Bank Palestinians striking back at the local Jewish settlers. I will feel no joy from that, but the local settlers earned that. I would much prefer if the world banking system will block them and they will be all charged with war crimes.

      UNRWA should be dismantled completely. They double dipped as Hamas members, made up funny definition for refugees, promoted conflict and lead to no long term solution. UNHCR may be more successful, after all, they are good enough for all other refugees.

      Is that the same UNRWA that has Hamas fighters working for them?

        Yes the UNRWA armed Palestinian resistance faction.

        Thank you for explaining why it is pointless for Palestinians not to engage in armed resistance. Israeli will say they did so anyway.

          Nine of them were involved in the October 7th attacks, and there’s proof that more are still Hamas fighters, but I know that people aren’t interested in facts because they just want to bash Israel at every opportunity.

              UNRWA themselves admitted it in September. The head of Hamas in Lebanon was an UNRWA employee.

              Most of the money that goes to UNRWA ends up in the hands of Hamas.

                Allegations of 9 people in an organization of 12.000 being Hamas is one thing.

                Extrapolating that to all UNRWA funding going to Hamas is an amazing stretch of reality.

                By the way can you link the Hamas announcement of this person being Hamas? The AP article does not link it. It quotes the IDF claiming Hamas said it.

                  …what?

                  UNRWA admits he was working with Hamas and had suspended him, but you need Hamas themselves to say it?

                    No UNRWA is not saying that either. The media is saying Israel claims that Hamas said that he was Hamas.

                    I actually went through quite a few articles and even translated the Arab page linked on Wikipedia which turned out to be complete gibberish. So I am currently wondering if this entire thing is made up because it really looks like it.
