The U.S., along with more than a dozen countries, suspended its funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in January after Israel accused 12 of the agency’s 13,000 employees in Gaza of participating in the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
Let’s say this is true- and I am not convinced it is- they’re cutting funding for an entire organization because of the actions of a fraction of one percent of the employees?
I think the truthfulness is definitely in doubt, but that wasn’t really my point because, true or not, it’s punishing a huge organization for 12 people’s supposed actions. Imagine if the U.S. stopped giving to the Red Cross because it turned out 12 Red Cross employees helped facilitate 9/11. It would be ludicrous.

It’s not true and the IDF tortured them.
We should be cutting aid to Israel for war crimes, and their treatment of UNRWA employees is a perfect example of why.
