Israel will stop working with the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip, a government spokesperson said yesterday, accusing the aid agency of “perpetuating conflict”, Reuters reported.
Israel has long sought to have UNRWA closed as it is the only UN agency to have a specific mandate to look after the basic needs of Palestinian refugees. If the agency no longer exists, argues Israel, then the refugee issue must no longer exist, and the legitimate right for Palestinian refugees to return to their land will be unnecessary. Israel has denied that right of return since the late 1940s, even though its own membership of the UN was made conditional upon Palestinian refugees being allowed to return to their homes and land.
There’s plenty of room in Gaza to force out Hamas. But the people there love Hamas. If 100 of them want to pile into a building to be shields for a Hamas commander, ignoring the evacuation order, ignoring the warnings, then they’ve chosen their fate. I don’t have sympathy for them. I also don’t have sympathy for people that approach troops or borders and get shot. Everyone knows not to do that. It was the first thing Israel said after October 7, ya know, when Hamas launched thousands of rockets at Israel and approached the wall 1,000 soldiers strong and crossed the border to do a bunch of mass shootings of civilians, police, and EMS. You know, when there was actual indiscriminate targeting of civilians. No sympathy for that. Fuck them and anyone that helps them. They had their chance. Chance after chance. What did they do? They chose far right religious terrorism and hard-line Sharia law. It’s incompatible with modern life.
And it would be fine, if they want to live like it’s the dark ages. But they want to participate in international financing of murdering Jews. That is the goal of Hamas and their foreign financiers: to genocide every Jew and Christian in the middle east and have their own fascist ethnostate of religious law.
How many chance would you give Hamas? How many suicide bombings would you let them do in your town?
JFC you are a Nazi.
What a ridiculous hot take. The Nazis murdered millions of people. It’s utterly stupid to compare anything to do with Israel to what the Nazis did. And for the record I’m a left wing two time Bernie alum.
