US intelligence: ‘low confidence’ in part of Israel’s UNRWA claims
(www.theguardian.com)
Ya think?
It’s worth broadcasting, if nothing else to point out that:
- States lie, including your own state
- States lie copiously during wartime
- Israel very likely lied, or at least made a claim without merit
- The US (and official documents) are calling it out, in the diplomatic phrasing allowed when criticizing a ‘strategic ally’ - this could have been buried or classified easily
I didn't mean to criticize you for posting it. It was worth posting. I just wish it didn't have to be worth it.
Didn’t take it as such, assumed for the jaded reply it was 👍
But I was told we totally independently verified what Israel said before cutting off aid
It added that Israel has not "shared the raw intelligence behind its assessments with the US".
i.e., Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.
So the US will reinstate funding to the UNWRA,, right?
Right?
In fact, no.
Too bad Biden won't give a shit.
Gotta give AIPAC their return on investment for half a literal century of donations.
He's taken too much of their money to care at this point, even if he didn't legitimately support their genocide.
