Israel’s unchecked brutal terror
There are many things that can be said about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - none are complimentary.
With certainty, Netanyahu is a liar and a criminal - a corrupt, murderous thug presiding over a terrorist state.
This description is undeniable - suggesting otherwise raises concerns about one’s geopolitical morality.
Before social media, mainstream media, fearing accusations of antisemitism, often echoed the lies Israel propagated to justify its horrific war crimes - unsubstantiated claims.
Today, mainstream media still pedals these falsehoods.
However, the media landscape has changed.
Access to diverse information sources, particularly independent media, has significantly undermined Israel and Netanyahu's narratives.
Israel’s distorted version of truth is now exposed as an endless sewer of lies.
For Netanyahu and Israel, social media is an unbeatable foe.
Knowing Israel's dishonesty and terroristic nature, the world yet aligns with its deceit.
It's farcical to believe Israel's claims about UNRWA being infiltrated by Hamas.
If Hamas is labelled a terrorist organisation, then the Israeli government is no different.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas executed a highly professional military strike in defence of Palestinians, countering decades of subjugation, oppression, and murder by an occupying force that falsely claims victimhood.
The UNRWA plays a vital role in aiding the Palestinian people - a role consistently undermined by the Israeli Government.
Countries that ceased funding UNRWA due to Israel's allegations have overlooked Israel's use of food, water, and medical supply denials as control mechanisms over Palestinians.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently underscored the UNRWA's indispensable role in Gaza. The suspension of funding follows Israel's allegations that 12 UNRWA staff participated in the Hamas attacks on October 7.
Addressing a UN committee, Guterres emphasized the UNRWA's critical role in Gaza's humanitarian aid, cautioning that withdrawing financial support would jeopardize the entire humanitarian framework in the region.
The conflict intensified after Israel accused UNRWA of allowing Hamas to use its Gaza infrastructure for military purposes.
Netanyahu's input on these allegations, suggesting the agency be replaced with other UN aid organisations, is absurd.
As usual, Israel provides no evidence for its claims, which are often proven lies.
Israel's call for an independent inquiry into its employees' involvement in the Hamas attack is just another example of its untrustworthiness.
Netanyahu's expression of disappointment, stating he hoped for a more objective entity to facilitate aid in Gaza and accusing UNRWA of failing in this regard, is comical.
This comes from a leader who has pursued a policy of genocide at all costs and openly denied Palestinians food and water for decades.
Questioning the UN’s neutrality, especially when a state known for its lies makes the allegations, is disturbing.
What does it take for the world to wake up?
Comedy is a fascinating art, particularly when the comedian is Israel.
Israel has continuously scrutinised the UNRWA, accusing it of acting against Israeli interests.
Israel has pledged to halt UNRWA's operations in Gaza after the conflict.
The broader humanitarian community, including UNRWA, led by UN's humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths and UN Gaza aid coordinator Sigrid Kaag, remains committed to delivering aid in Gaza.
The UNRWA plays a crucial role in the humanitarian response for the occupied Palestinian territories and needs adequate funding and operational support.
They advocate for restoring funds to UNRWA, citing its irreplaceable role in the region.
The UNRWA’s role in Gaza is not just about providing essential services; it's also a symbol of the international community's commitment to Palestinian refugees.
The funding suspension, triggered by Israel's allegations, reflects broader geopolitical tensions and the challenges of conducting humanitarian work in politically sensitive environments.
The resolution of this issue will have significant implications for the stability and well-being of the Palestinian population in Gaza, as well as for the broader Middle East peace process.
