I wouldn't say that you are diminishing OLO. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are entitled to your opinions, no matter how odd they are.

Hi Foxy,

I can never get used of seeing images of starving children on mass, pushing forward, holding an old tin can, begging for a scoop of boiled beans in water to feed themselves. That is happening in Gaza today.

I will never forget that piece of short black and white film from 80 years ago of a little Jewish boy, so emasculated, skin and bone, to weak to stand, lying on a timber floor near death, picking up grains of wheat from the floor, and eating them. Sad!

The bigger fool believes he knows the real truth. I've heard claims that the food vans were feeding terrorists and had also been used by them for transport and fire cover.

Time for UNRWA to be held to account for the child abuse they perpetrate by substituting terrorist indoctrination for education.

Thanks Mavs for your kind words.

I've actually kept in touch with several of the females
who used to post on this forum.

Hi Paul,

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is tragic. I find myself
no longer watching the News. The images are too horrific,
as are the given accounts.

Talking about UNRWA?

THE FACTS ARE:

UNRWA has over 30,000 staff across the region, including
13,000 in Gaza. According to many sources UNRWA takes
seriously its responsibility to ensure that the operations
and staff adhere to UN values and core humanitarian principles.

We're told that UNRWA has always taken very seriously any
allegations regarding staff misconduct, including allegations
of neutrality breaches.

The agency takes swift action whenever any staff member is
found to have acted in contravention of its regulatory
framework. The range of disciplinary sanctions applied include,
often in combination, fines, suspension from duty, demotion and
termination of employment.

Since 2022, sixty six investigations have been done. This was
out of 30,000 staff across UNRWA, and not just in Gaza. The
investigations looked at a range of allegations related to
neutrality breaches, including alleged support for Hamas and
other groups. Some of these investigations are still ongoing.

Out of 30,000 staff - not all of which have been substantiated,
that amounts to 0.22%. Therefore there is absolutely no grounds
for a blanket description of "the entire institution as a
whole" being infiltrated.

Rather the small percentage shows that the overwhelming
majority of UNRWA's highly dedicated staff adhere to the
principles to which they commit when they join the agency.

I read recently that Isreael has a deal with the UN that UNRWA will be replaced with something more suitable after Hamas has been exterminated.

The nonsense of great-great grandchildren of genuine refugees being also treated as refugees also needs knocking in the head.

I wonder how it is possible for an anonymous poster to "keep in touch" with also anonymous ex-posters, Graham being the only one with posters' emails and real names.

More fiction, I suspect.
