The U.N. says it has fired nine staff members from its agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, after an internal investigation found they may have been involved in the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack against Israel.
The U.N, secretary-general’s office announced the move in a brief statement to journalists Monday. It did not elaborate on the UNRWA staffers’ likely role in the attack. It said the nine included seven staffers who were fired previously over the claims.
Both can be bad. No amount of violence on the part of Israel will absolve Hamas of theirs.
Let’s ignore this war started in 1948 and Hamas was founded in 1987, I guess. So we’re clear, this isn’t an endorsement of Hamas, but I’m just saying… There’s 40 years of context that precedes the existence of Hamas, and maybe in those 40 years Palestinian became less and less faithful that anyone could help them but the violent weirdos. If you want to deescalate tensions in the middle east, ceasing genocide is a good first step
100%. Not suggesting anything be ignored, just that Hamas should be held accountable for their actions just as Israel should. The level of those actions may not be equal, but they also don’t cancel each other out.
What in the fuck are you talking about lmfao. Palestine-Arabs launched that war in 1948. They launched a brutal attack involving 8 of their Arab countries because they did not want a two state solution.
So you know what. There is also 40 years(75years) of context that Israel became less and less faithful in a peaceful solution.
Saying that things started in 1948 isn’t even the full proper context. Zionists had been settling in the region for decades prior, after all, for the explicit purpose of creating a Jewish ethnostate in the Levant, and you simply can’t do that without kicking out or subjugating all the people already living there.
