UNRWA fires 12 workers over suspected involvement in the October 7 attacks on Israel

You might want to reread whatever you read about the Hague because that didn't happen.

Further, if the Hague did rule against your preconceived notions, that's a good reason to review your preconceived notions, rather than to make allegations about infiltration of the Hague.
Oh… so they were found innocent?

HAH!

From the article:

"...no other agency..." WFP provides more aid to Gaza. A lot more. The author is complaining about myth-making while spinning their own...
The author wrote: "No other agency rivals its physical, logistical and human presence; ..."

If you honestly cannot distinguish between aid trucks and "physical, logistical and human presence," I can't help you. So I guess you win.

The data shows that the author is wrong. The author used to work for UNRWA. It makes sense for them to be Pro-UNRWA and forcefully deny that their own work was supporting those who are sworn to annihilate Jews and the state of Israel. It's a bitter pill to swallow.

The process has a long ways to go before guilt or innocence would be determined.
As far as I understand it's just a provisional ruling they made as a preventative action.

Hamas, on the other hand, has never fired anyone for cruelty to Israelis....

... or for putting their own innocent civilians in the line of fire. They're not just cruel to Israelis. They are universally cruel. On Palestinian TV yesterday, The official spokesperson for Hamas is encouraging moving more civilians to the front lines. He says: "You don't see the Gazans complaining."

Also, of note is, yet again, and always, the invocation of Al-Aqsa. This is the religio-emotional hook which has been embedded in many Palestinian's concsiousness. The words Al-Aqsa are a trigger for them. It's everywhere. Hamas' TV broadcast channel is called Al-Aqsa TV. They're programming people from within UNRWA schools.

Here's a link to the interview referred to above: Hamas Official Ali Baraka: Lebanon Should Transfer Palestinian Refugees To Israeli Border, So That UNIFIL Will Be Responsible For Them; If You Want To Liberate Your Land, You Cannot Keep Counting Martyrs – The Families In Gaza Are Not Complaining

The UNRWA indoctrinates the children to become martyrs triggered by the words "Al-Aqsa".

I just saw on CNN that the Swedes just prevented a bombing of the Israeli consulate in Stockholm.

Thank you. Here's two articles on the subject.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...t-israeli-embassy-terrorist-crime-2024-02-02/
https://www.timesofisrael.com/swede...object-found-at-israeli-embassy-as-terrorism/

None of the usual suspects has, or likely will, claim responsibility. Hamas is trying to assert itself as a localized resistance movement. And, quite honestly, with the amount of anti-israel propaganda spread online and the encouragement of individuals to violently rise up against the imaginary "oppressor"... it could be a lone wolf.

Here's what I have on the history of Hamas' activities reaching beyond Israel. The most recent is the Reuters article at the top of the list:

Thanks so much for posting these links, and I'll check them out tomorrow when I have more time. Dinner is almost ready, and I do have my priorities. ;)

So… not innocent and not guilty… sounds political to me. Posturing for personal gain.

Thanks for the supplements.

So far, i see more IDF committing suicide than being fired for the acts of violence.

IDF soldiers: 170,000 active duty / 465,000 reservists

IDF Suicide rate 2021: 11
IDF Suicide rate 2022: 14
IDF Suicide rate 2023: 8

Between 2017-2021: 248 investigations of criminal misconduct of IDF soldiers against Palestinians. 11 indictments.

The numbers are there for you to read and interpret however you choose to do so.
I mentioned that more IDF die from suicide, than fired for war crimes.


UNRWA does more good for the oppressed, than the 12 that could have been involved with 10/7.


What program are you made from?

"We have investigated ourselves, & found no wrongdoing."

But sometimes Israel does punish soldiers for murder or Palestinians.

USA has harsher sentences for killing dogs.

Stamped response.

I know.

That's harsh but I have seen it over the decades. i've watched israel IDF soldiers hiding weapons for firing on a civilian.

So you cannot address the query, of comparing how many IDF soldiers are fired versus committing suicide over any equal time periods.

My point, does israel check their own inhouse criminal acts, when claiming UNRWA civilians are committing crimes? As i see it, many idf are committing suicide over awareness for the abuses that they have witnessed versus continue to participate.

Have you ever cared to listen to the interviews and videos of actual soldiers that are having a hard time continuing the divide? Both sides?

No actual level headed human being approves of the 10/7 atrocity. So any UNRWA that participated DOES NOT represent, the UN, USA, IRAN or palestine, Just as the rogue soldiers and IDF do not represent Jews or Judaism. But the acts on both extremes must end and justice addressed as best as possible, without exception to which side.

Perhaps suicide is just a dysfunctional way that
some deal with guilt for being sent off to a "war"
whose real purpose is genocide? Not everyone
enjoys murder & mayhem. It happens in many
such conflicts.
