    The proof that they’re actively involved in terrorism is above our pay grade

    How convenient. So we’re just supposed to take it on trust.

    Of course I have seen the Israeli claims and read the UN Watch report where they quote some social media posts. Probably not enough to stop aid to a humanitarian organization but maybe it’s because my “pay grade” is too low to find out the really juicy facts they have which definitely totally exist and aren’t just made up ad hoc justifications for cruelty.

      During the 2023 Israel-Hamas war one of the hostages said after having been freed that he had been held in a house of a UNRWA teacher. UNRWA said that it is aware of the claims and is investigating it.[144] Additionally, teachers and other educational staff of UNRWA have been reported praising Hamas’s terrorism on social media, referring to it as an “unforgettable glorious morning” and a “splendid sight.”[145][146][147] The IDF uncovered assault rifles, ammunition, grenades and missiles with varying capacities of Hamas, hidden in and underneath UNRWA institutions.[148][149][150][151]

      This reminds me of the constant denials by haters of Israel regarding the rocket attack on the hospital.

      Lots more evidence of the connection between UNRWA and Hamas in that Wikipedia article.

      Dude. If you think you should be able to walk into intelligence agencies and get their information on a particular topic, that’s truly sad.

          I don’t think anyone really cares who you trust.

            The fact remains that the source for this claim is bro trust me. Nobody should care who I trust. But I’m sure most people can see that “bro trust me” is completely useless. I will believe it when I see evidence

              You are not asked to believe it.

                Nobody should believe anything because of a “bro trust me” and if you do you have a serious problem. I know nobody cares if I believe it, I am not stupid

                  Denual is a refuge for weak arguments. Obviously the the countries that control fund8ng are not in denial.

                    Bruh, “above our paygrade” is a prime example of denial, deflection, and appeal to authority.

                    Scepticism in the face of a lack of evidence, especially for a claim from one side involved in a war, is not only a good idea but necessary. Would you just believe a Russian claim about Ukranian schools, no questions asked?

                Than we won’t support our governments for blindly believing it.

                  They have the information so they’re not blind. At least not as blind as you.
