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.

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.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago

Crickets would be immense improvement to arming and supporting a genocide.

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

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.

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

Food Not Bombs knows that isn't new, sadly.

Food not Bombs

It's all a simple misunderstanding really. You see the Israelis read from right to left.

I know the UN is not NATO but an attack on an arm of the UN should be an attack on all.

It's past time the world started treating Israel like they treat Russia.

Israel is the most fascist state in existence. Israel is The Fifth Reich.

[–] superminerJG@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What was the Fourth Reich?

[–] Disaster@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

A Reichtangle, obviously.

Ironic isn't? The victims of fascism are now the fascists.

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Israel was never a victim of fascism.

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Pot calling the kettle black.
