      When did she do that? Please show us the source that makes this claim.

          In my mind

          Ah, so she didn’t actually do it.

          interference in Israel’s ability to secure itself

          So we shouldn’t interfere then, and let them buy their own weapons with their own money?

            We continued to fund UNRWA right up until we found out they were literally terrorists. I have no problem continuing to fund Israel with my tax dollars because they are most certainly not.

              Wasn’t it about 0.04% of UNRWA who were accused of being involved in the terror attack? Even if the accusations turn out to be true*, your claim that “UNRWA are literally terrorists” is about as accurate as saying that all Israelis are terrorists. Because some Israelis most certainly are.

              I’m not trying to convince you, because you clearly haven’t used rational thinking to arrive at your perspective. But you could at least try to make your argument a little bit more credible.

              *They’re not true. According to Channel 4, the intelligence report “contains no evidence to support Israel’s claim.”

                Huh. Crazy that the US would defend UNRWA without evidence. So either the entire US government is wrong, or you’re spreading misinformation.

                Would love to see credible source backing up your outlandish claims.

                  Ok yeah, source for the number of people in UNRWA is UNRWA. Source for the number of people accused is Israel. Source for the Channel 4 findings is…Channel 4. Was there any fact in particular you don’t want to be true take issue with?
                  The US government didn’t say that all of UNRWA are terrorists. Only you did that.
