Israel parliament votes to label UN relief agency a terror organisation
The Israeli parliament gave preliminary approval on Monday to a bill that declares the main United Nations relief organisation for Palestinians a terrorist organisation and proposes to sever relations with the body, Reuters reports.
The vote against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) is the latest step in an Israeli push against the Agency, which Israeli leaders have accused of collaborating with the Hamas Movement in Gaza.
Israel has said hundreds of UNRWA staff are members of terrorist groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but has yet to provide evidence to a UN-appointed review.
Ah, the relief agency that was thoroughly proven not to be a terrorist organization last time Israel tried this, a few months ago. I guess they just need some way to make sure Palestinians aren't saved from starvation, thirst and disease.
It's like they're trying to get ahead of the narrative to deceive future historians... I just hope someone with the knowledge and means is making physical records of all this. Written in silica, or something.
bunch of clowns.
Damn, didn’t know having human decency meant now you’re a crooked, spineless, evil cretin.
Aristofascists called Biden crooked and evil for yeeeears, and he's done some mighty decent things while in office.
I know the UN is not NATO but an attack on an arm of the UN should be an attack on all.
It's past time the world started treating Israel like they treat Russia.
Israel is the most fascist state in existence. Israel is The Fifth Reich.
What was the Fourth Reich?
A Reichtangle, obviously.
This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Let's please remember Turkey, Azerbaijan, China, Pakistan and, ahem, all big European nations
Ironic isn't? The victims of fascism are now the fascists.
Pot calling the kettle black.
For those curious about the allegations against about 10% on UNRWA.
No one but genocide loving zionists wants to hear the lying screeds of a genocidal, racist, apartheid regime. I care as much to read that as a copy of the latest "Jewish crimes" written by Nazi magazines in the 1930s.
That's some really strong statements. Speaking for myself I don't identify as a genocide loving Zionist.
For what it's worth the article is really dry and cites independent sources, and has quotes from UN officials that say that UNRWA workers were removed. A full internal investigation will take place.
This is how statecraft works. Have you ever wondered why there's no Pride parades on Palestine but there are in Tel Aviv?
And it looks like actions were taken by the UNRWA against involved employees. But Israel wants the total destruction of the agency just like Palestine.
For the most part Israel regarded the UNRWA as a problematic but ultimately stabilizing influence. Israel started taking umbrage when members of the UNRWA participated in and associated with the Hamas terrorists that raped, murdered, kidnapped men, women and children of many nations and faiths.
So there's that?
And how the UNRWA responded, which, as we've seen time and time again, is never enough for these bloodthirsty ghouls: https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1149081
When will the rest of the world learn that it is pointless to try to placate Israel or treat them as though they are acting in good faith? The whole state is run by genocidal fascists who will never be satisfied by even the most obeisant allies.
