    Some of what your tax money pays for:

  3. Both sides need to tone down a bit. It looks more like a dick size measuring contest to look as victimized as possible at this point. Seriously, can’t we just condemn Netanyahu the retard and Hamas the terrorist wackos at the same time?

  4. Stunning and brave to keep funding the organization responsible for the radicalization of Palestinians.

  5. goddamn all the Irish people being so fucking pathetic in the comments. I am guessing 90% of them are Muslims who ran away from their own countries to Ireland and just use the flair.

  6. Oh, sure, “just 12 people”. It’s not like the entire purpose of UNRWA is to make sure that palestinians will stay in refugee status forever, stay in Gaza and serve as hamas conscription base.

  7. Personally I don’t have any feelings about the UNRWA – if people are guilty of supporting terrorism then they should be held accountable.

    But there needs to be some agency providing humanitarian support – swathes of Gaza are being razed to the ground, without external aid it’ll become uninhabitable. Are there other agencies which will pick up the slack? Or do people just not care about the 2m inhabitants of the Gaza Strip?

  8. Honest and ignorant question:

    Why Spain seems so pro-Palestinian? I sort of get Ireland, but not really, but yeah.

    But Spain sometimes feels so “revolutionary”, how so?

  9. I seen some Lebanese people saying UNRWA employees were viewed as being rich or earning really good i wonder why. Everybody was making crumbs while hamas supporters were living the high life.

  10. My understanding it’s 12 employees names under interrogation from Israel with zero trials. For an organization that employs 13k and it’s not even like senior leadership is being accused.

    Do people saying that UNRWA should be defunded on this basis hold such similar tough standards for all organizations? Even if far less then 1% of workers are “guilty” of crimes? Seems we have to shutdown a lot of companies, police departments and militaries if that was the standard

  11. UNRWA should be folded into the UNHCR.

    Based on a comparison of UNRWA’s refugee figures and the assessments of James Lindsay, a former UNRWA legal adviser who has written extensively on the differences between UNHCR and UNRWA:

    * Almost all of Jordan’s 2.2 million UNRWA-designated refugees would likely lose their status under UNHCR criteria.
    * Most of Syria’s 560,000.
    * Just under half of Lebanon’s 521,000.
    * All 2.17 million UNRWA-designated refugees in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem would lose that status were those areas to become parts of a sovereign Palestinian state.

    This would leave a refugee total of a little over half a million.

  12. How is possible that status of refugee is inherited. It’s completely ill…

  13. Israel: “UNRWA is supporting Hamas

    Others: Proof?

    Israel: Fuck you you filthy anti semite for questioning us! Why are you supporting Hamas?

  14. Please correct me if I am wrong, I try not to engage too much with the constant barrage of awful coming from the Middle East, but isn’t this UNRWA thing still an allegation by the IDF?

    Have they forwarded any propf besides the usual “anybody complaining is an antisemite”?

  15. If you want to keep burning your money to fund terrorists, go for it

  16. This should be the standard but the world has gone crazy as has the vile right in this sub.

  17. Honoust question, but isn’t it strange that countries immediately stop funding the organisation while all we have is suspicions and the people in question who allegedly supported hamas have already been fired? Or am I missing something here?

  18. Thank you Spain, Ireland, Scotland and Norway! Thank you for caring about the Palestinian people!

  19. The Arabs can pay for it. They have plenty of oil money. It’s not an European duty to pay for jihadistic terrorism.

  20. Hopefully an investigation can be carried out.
    Idk if there’s a sub org that could fill in what UNRWA does if all funding was dropped 

  21. So, when does South Africa open cases against these states for aiding genocide?

  22. Nothing has changed since the inquisition. They still hate jews
