In reply to the discussion: Israel launches major offensive in Gaza after airstrikes that killed more than 100 [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,029 posts)There is nothing rash about UNRWA firing eight confirmed Hamas operatives. It took careful examination of the evidence provided by Israel to UNRWA of twelve documented cases of known UNRWA employees participating in the October 7 atrocities, including kidnapping and stealing a dead soldier's body. The same evidence that, upon examination, prompted more than a dozen countries to withhold (not withdraw, as you suggest) funds until UNRWA took steps to formally acknowledge its fault and reform its practices, which they eventually did.
Nor was it a rash decision to hire them. The most charitable explanation for the scandal they embroiled themselves it is negligible vetting of their employees, and the most damaging would be outright complicity with the Hamas authorities.You may choose exactly where on this scale your preferences lie.
My other accusations are a rehash of media reports, none of them particularly sympathetic to Netanyahu.
And what you think you know is not of particular interest to me. The only thing that counts is verifications of what you think you know from legitimate sources that know.
