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.

Crickets would be immense improvement to arming and supporting a genocide.

So just genocide as usual and “nothing will fundamentally change” like Biden.

Always making excuses instead of holding politicians accountable means nothing will get done. She was already part of the Biden regime so she is party to the genocide.

Oh of course, those pesky genocides are gonna have to wait until we are able to spend 3 days in january, at most, putting down another coup. You understand that genocide is more important than whether your team wins an election, right?

She was part of the Biden regime so she is guilty of genocide just like Joe.

Have you considered blaming the people committing genocide? Of course not, because you don’t actually give a shit about genocide, it’s all just a bad faith attack point.

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.

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.
