Whitewavemwrk2 in another thread you acknowledged the
allegations were true

I must get back to sleep!😀. I think what I said was that caution must be exercised given the fact that we are relying on Israel for the information.

I have no evidence to say that it isn’t true, but I do have the ability to recognise that in war propaganda is a tool usefully employed on all sides.

Netanyahu needs to up his game with regard to the propaganda war as he has certainly been losing support throughout the world, and this is certainly something he is employing in the hope of getting back that support.

Israel is unfortunate in its leader.

5 million people are registered with this agency, so it isn’t just Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu has been trying to undermine this agency for years.

It just doesn’t provide aid but schooling, but clinics, and myriad other services needed by refugees.

It has existed since 1949, and is embedded with the Palestinians, getting funding from all over the world. If this ceases then there will be untold suffering.

So this agency clearly then, is not just in Gaza but the West Bank as well giving much needed aid to displaced persons since 1949

The question is- what do you replace it with?

Netanyahu would love the answer to be

Nothing.

I really don’t understand what the hell is going on but imo Netanyahu is a bad man who only cares about his own political survival. I’m in total despair about what is happening.

Israel claims that UN aid workers were involved in the October 7 attack and - without any independent proof - UN suspends aid with immediate effect.
Why? Does Netanyahu - an unbalanced individual at best - have so much influence on the United Nations, an organisation which has proved itself fairly useless down the decades?
