Israel has banned the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA from operating in the country - a move which could hamper its work in Gaza.

UNRWA's chief Philippe Lazzarini has warned the ban "will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in Gaza".

The new laws passed in the Knesset on Monday banned the agency from having any ties to Israeli officials and stripped its staff of their legal immunities.

The Israeli parliament also declared the group a terror organisation.

Seems like the final phase of the genocide is being forced through. If the UN are hampered there's no way of substantially delivering essential aid. If the organisation is accused of being terrorist then there's no protection against the IDF.

It was 9, and the rest? The atrocious propaganda disseminated in the schools? The UNWRA identity tag found with the Butcher of Khan Younis?

Why do you think that the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, France and more have all voiced their opposition to Israels new law? Why do you think that they are all so out of step with Israel on this and believe that Unwra is doing vital and important work for Palestinians? You have to admit that it is a bit of a coincidence that only Israel, the country whose defence minister declared they were going to 'eliminate everything' in Gaza seem to believe that eliminating unwra from Gaza is the right thing to do.

These genocidal maniacs won't stop there. They have already destroyed all the key infrastructure including schools, hospitals, refugee camps. They are now committing a 'General' plan which is to starve the population. Once they complete their Holocaust they will build holiday homes for US Israeli's and the plan is complete. What other country could get away with bombing SYRIA, IRAN, LEBABNON & YEMEN at the same time and get away with it???? as the west looks away. If you question this perverse logic they throw the term 'Anti-Semite' at you, which is basically code for WW2 holocaust denial and nothing could be further from the truth from decent people from any religious cultural persuasion. History will judge this genocide as it, evidently is, and not Starmer or "Bungle" Lammy will be able to hide. Shame on the UK. We people's are better than this hypocrisy.

Well they wouldn't have a vested monetary interest in keeping Palestinians perpetual refugees. They hopefully wouldn't have terrorist employees which would be a start. The hateful curriculum could be removed from schools. UNRWA have done a lot of harm and made peace harder.

Of course we'll ignore the footage of schools in Israel teaching anti Arab hatred. And they had a few terrorist Prime ministers no?
So one sided.

You'll have to provide evidence to back up your claims. (Which you won't).

9.What are the most significant findings
The analysis revealed a complex picture: on one hand the textbooks adopt UNESCO standards and criteria established within international education discourse, such as material on human rights. Yet on the other hand they express antagonism towards Israel within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This ambivalence is made clear in the study where it explains the finding that many sections or chapters are dedicated to themes such as tolerance and the observation of human rights but at the same time the textbooks contain anti-Semitic narratives and glorifications of violence. Both these points are presented and contextualised in detail in the study.

I believe out of thousands of staff, 8 were fired.

Refugees can be internally displaced.

UNWRA is corrupt to the core. Just take a look at some of their "educational materials."

Many employees took part in Oct 7, and harboured hostages.

Sinwar was found with an UNWRA identity tag when he was finally weeded out of his rat nest.

Vile organisation that ought to have been shut down years ago. Why are Palestinians counted as refugees in a state that is supposed to be their own? Utter nonsense.

The delivery of aid is completely dependent on UNWRA being operational.

What do you think will happen to majority of men, women and children in Gaza who are completely reliant on this aid now? About 90% have been displaced in this conflict so surely by anyone's measure they are refugees.

Yes, right now, but I am hopeful the war will be over soon and I can't see having UNRWA in Gaza post that will be beneficial for peace.

What are you hopeful about exactly? Where is the hope for Palestinians? There isn't any. Israel have gone too far!

Now they are branding international aid workers as terrorists?

The world needs to stand up to them.

Kakeandkake · 28/10/2024 23:38

The IDF is a corrupt organisations that commits war crimes. They kill and torture Palestinians, they protect rapists who rape Palestinians and actively take part in settler violence. If there is any organisation that should be barred from any assistance or aid, it is them.

Well it doesn't look like the international community agree with you or Israel there judging by the statements that have been released by world leaders about Israels vile new law.

If they get rid of UNWRA there won't be a Gaza after this. Not one with Gazans in it anyway. I can't believe what I'm reading.

Bingo! That's the plan and they make no effort to even hide it

I know. In the middle of a humanitarian crisis where the population of Gaza are under siege, no independent media allowed in, aid workers getting killed, humanitarian aid being restricted, medical aid being restricted, they want to get rid of the only organisation keeping people alive. Sick.

First you have to find 30k people willing to risk their lives. Being an aid worker in Gaza at the moment is a risk. There are too many killed by mistake.

Aid workers without ties to hamas have been killed in the last year. A good start would be not to kill aid workers so other aid workers want to work in Gaza. As another poster has pointed where are you going to find 30k people soon enough that are willing to go to Gaza and risk being killed (by mistake of course )

Israel have been quietly barring NGOs from Gaza. There is no way they would allow 30000 independent witnesses into Gaza. No way.

There would have to be a handover process but I think in the long run it would benefit Gazans.
