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.

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.

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.

And carpet bombing. Now it's your time to speak, Kamala. What do you have to say about this?

'Crickets' is the best Americans can hope for, to be fair.

  1. Secure American democracy

  2. Things we can do once we have secured #1

We're on phase 1 just yet. You want phase 2.

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.

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

Damn, feeding the hungry and taking care of the deprived is now an act of terrorism.

Damn, didn’t know having human decency meant now you’re a crooked, spineless, evil cretin.

Aristofascists called Biden crooked and evil for yeeeears, and he's done some mighty decent things while in office.

No one but genocide loving zionists wants to hear the lying screeds of a genocidal, racist, apartheid regime. I care as much to read that as a copy of the latest "Jewish crimes" written by Nazi magazines in the 1930s.

And it looks like actions were taken by the UNRWA against involved employees. But Israel wants the total destruction of the agency just like Palestine.
