A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

These bullshit came out exactly after the ICJ decision. What a fucking coincidence, and we still have to see evidences rather than talks.
Israel told UNRWA about this two weeks ago:
According to Israeli and U.N. officials, Israeli diplomats made the accusations about the 12 UNRWA workers at a private meeting in Israel with UNRWA’s leadership nearly two weeks ago. The meeting was held without the knowledge of the senior military and intelligence officers who had overseen the operation that had investigated the 12 workers’ links to the attack, according to three military officials. The foreign ministry declined to comment.
Days later, UNRWA fired most of the accused workers and notified its key donors, including the United States, whose diplomats swiftly sought clarification about the claims from the Israeli military.
The military leadership was so surprised that the information had reached U.S. officials that they ordered an internal investigation about how it was disseminated, according to the military officials, who spoke anonymously to discuss a sensitive matter.
Anything Israel says is a universal truth I suppose
Edit: Whoa zionists here are increasing day by day
It was those 40 decapitated babies named after days of the week that proved it.
UNRWA isn't some kind of company you can punish – its the lifeline for millions.
UNRWA has to investigate how something like this could happen and prevent it from happening ever again – especially since Israel has claimed it for years now and was proven correctly now.
But the immediate reaction of UNRWA has shown that it was not the intention to aid terrorists, but a lack of proper oversight and control. So support needs to continue, alongside a reform of the processes of the UNRWA.

This is the clearest sign of israel and the west openly supporting full genocide by starvation of the Palestinians. They have destroyed all their farms and wells and are now blocking the sole supplier of Palestinian food.
Reminder that israel started openly calling on video to destroy UNRWA one month ago before any of these accusations. and also many instances far before this one.
As there is also still no evidence provided by israel. UNRWA fired accused staff as a provisional measure, not because the accusations were found to be true. It's absolutely insane to make all Palestinians starve because of 13/30.000 people to begin with.

Hamas leadership is worth billions, surely they will step up to provide for their people
Maybe Israel should stop the suitcases of cash?
Uh... Gaza is under blockade (currently a full-blown siege). Israel is the bottleneck here.
You are right, the generous Hamas leaders would step in for countries like US and Germany for paying UNWRA without the siege
Without the siege UNRWA would not be needed.
The existance of UNRWA itself is because the Palestinians are locked inside of an open air prison. And all their basic needs such as water treatment facilities keep getting bombed by israel.
They did tear down a wall blocking food to Palestine three months ago. Are you asking them to do it again?
Surely /s
