      They also just don’t give a shit about providing evidence as they can basically do or say whatever they want.

        Israel has done a lot of fucking around and the only ones who are slowly finding out are their closest allies who find themselves being dragged deeper and deeper into a full blown genocide.

            There will also be an intensification of the slightly stern looking, along with a tiny reduction of backstage winking and nodding.

      UNRWA is doing an investigation, and has already fired around 4 or so people. The numbers involved are far fewer than Israel has claimed.

        They fired those people prematurely awaiting the “evidence” israel had (none)

        Israel trolls then used UNRWA firing their employees as “being guilty”. They are truly shameless.

    Israel just lies and lies and lies and lies. They don’t even try to hide it. Blatant lies everywhere. And their propaganda keeps being blasted in all our newspapers that happily quote their lies to manufacture consent for Genocide. The newest lie is to pretend they are letting aid into Gaza.

    British member of parliament Alicia Kearns said that Israel was failing to meet its legal obligation to help aid get into the besieged enclave, citing the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing. “I’ve just returned from the aid staging location in Egypt, thousands of trucks are sat waiting to deliver aid,” she wrote.

    In response, Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy claimed that the crossing was "currently closed on Saturdays at the request of the UN because there is so much undistributed aid piling up on the other side".

    Kearns asked for evidence from Levy, pointing out that his claim was the “opposite” of what she had been told by the UK government, Egyptian government and the UN. “They are clear the Israeli Govt requested no deliveries on a Saturday,” she wrote.

    Levy has yet to respond.

    They don’t care, mission accomplished. People have already starved, and mud sticks enough that they can starve some more.

          No one. Everyone is either to proud or their ego to big to stop first. Its very hard to swallow your pride and be the first to say, ok this is enough, and take the loss.

    They already got what they wanted, suspended funding for UNRWA. Now they can blissfully ignore calls for evidence. In 6 years they will say that a trainee misread a paper lying in a printer

    I’m going to buck the trend and say I do believe that some (Israel say 190) of UNRWA staff are also members of Hamas. I’m also going to say that doesn’t justify the actions of Israel and withdrawal of international funding.

    UNRWA have 13,000 staff members and volunteers in the Gaza strip. We’re talking everything from toilet cleaners to people who volunteer to hand out bags of rice and water. You can’t possibly vet that number of people when you’ve have a desperate situation at hand. You take all the help you can get.

    If you dig right down into the lower echelons of any large organisation you will find people with extremist views. It’s just statistics.

    It was always only meant to be a shallow excuse to provide cover for the various Nazi-loving leaders in Western nations to cut humanitarian aid to Gazans so as to expedite Israel’s Final Solution, death by starvation.

    It’s not by chance that most nations that used this excuse to immediatelly cut UNRWA funds are traditionally racist, such as as Britain, Germany, the US and Australia.
