    It’s not true and the IDF tortured them.

    We should be cutting aid to Israel for war crimes, and their treatment of UNRWA employees is a perfect example of why.

      I think the truthfulness is definitely in doubt, but that wasn’t really my point because, true or not, it’s punishing a huge organization for 12 people’s supposed actions. Imagine if the U.S. stopped giving to the Red Cross because it turned out 12 Red Cross employees helped facilitate 9/11. It would be ludicrous.

        I totally appreciate the point, And I agree with you for what it’s worth.

        Imagine if we stop giving aid to Israel just because they tortured and murdered a whole bunch of people? I mean at least that would make sense, right, since it was directed from the top levels of government through the entire official military.

        Meanwhile we defund an aid organization because 12 people were suspected (through evidence gained by torture) of some wrongdoing at some point in the past.

        The lack of standards for Israel is damning. If ever there was a country that we should have invaded well there it is.
