‘UNRWA Equals Hamas, Period’
The very existence of the UNRWA testifies to the notion, true or not, that a corollary of Israeli statehood is never-ending suffering for Palestinian refugees.
Those are really -- really -- bad optics if you're Jewish. Like this: Here we are, a people who, more than any other, should be sympathetic to the plight of desperate refugees, condemning another people to desperate statelessness in perpetuity.
Israeli Jews are uncomfortable with that characterization of their state-building project, an
With all the reports of Hamas operations co-located with UNRWA facilities and Hamas leaders also being UNRWA officials, a move like this was likely. Maybe unwise, but that’s a different question. The question being begged is, what exactly is Netanyahu’s plan for Gaza? Maybe he’ll dismantle the gates and checkpoints between Gaza and Egypt and “invite” ex-migration. Or maybe he has no plan.
Yeah, again: There are a lot of small businesses “co-located” and co-“owned” by the mafia in America. Time to ban cold cuts.
And I mean, where’s the accountability for Bibi in allowing, for over a decade, Qatar to fund Hamas directly?
The West’s willingness to look past that is a ringing indictment. Netanyahu and Israeli hardliners wittingly kept Hamas in power in Gaza so they could point to “terrorists” while making the case against a two-state solution.
“It’s fine because if they ever get too ambitious, our fence will stop them………………..”
War, what is it good for? Human history is leaders/politician’s telling the masses who is the enemy and why they should kill them. Politicians created the Israel Palestinian problem after WWII and haven’t been able to straighten it out in 70+ years. You might even say it’s only gotten worse. Gaza is the bleeding edge of a problem that the 21st century has no clue how to fix, so it’s keep bombing and shooting – mainly civilians. For all of humankind’s technological advances, that’s a pathetic solution. Seems like we’ve gone backwards from the time when these problems were solved by a David and a Goliath going at it, leaving everyone else on the sidelines.
