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.

Damn, feeding the hungry and taking care of the deprived is now an act of terrorism.

It’s all a simple misunderstanding really. You see the Israelis read from right to left.

You do realise how racist you sound right now, right? Are you calling more than 2 million people, terrorists?

What about the kids, the newly born babies, are they also terrorists and deserve to die and/or starve? What happened with the idea of everyone being innocent until proven otherwise.

And how many civilians have Israel and Palestinians killed over the years? Or let’s simplify the questions, how many of those are below 16?

You can simply watch any documentary dedicated on the life of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, read any human rights groups that is not affiliated with Israel what they think about the conditions in those two territories. Open Wikipedia and read the articles on the subject, etc. The ICJ just proclaimed that what is doing Israel in the West bank and Gaza equates to apartheid.

Shall I also remind you that before their independence there were Jewish resistance fighters who were also branded terrorists by the authorities back then and the same fraction became the backbone of the IDF.

War is waged between governments and organizations. The death of civilians is an unavoidable side effect.

I think both Israel and Hamas need to calm tf down so that they can actually negotiate peace terms; but that ain’t happening so long as people send either side weapons.
