Fester,

"Israel controls the Gaza Strip's northern borders,
as well as its territorial waters and airspace.
Egypt controls Gaza Strip's southern border,
under an agreement it has with Israel.
Neither Israel or Egypt permits free travel
from Gaza as both
borders are heavily militarily fortified".

I don't think that taking sides in this conflict helps the
situation. What should concern us is providing help to those
who need it. By whichever means possible.

Fester,

Countries should continue to fund UNRWA. It's a vital
provider of aid to Palestinian refugees and cutting its
funding would have dire humanitarian consequences.

Foxy,

By not recognizing the maleficence of the UNRWA you are taking sides.

Here's your white privelidge
http://www.pm.gov.au/media/strengthening-jewish-community-safety

Why do we have Aussie govt funded holocaust museums opening in every state?
Jews must think this guilt selling project is Luna Park.

91 million Australia spent on Jewish privilege since 2022.

Isn't it funny how we will send military equipment to Ukraine, but we can't even send food or medicine to women and kids in Gaza?
- And whats worse is the ones who object to helping the women and kids are by and large Christians.

One-eyed Christians, one eye for Israel and none for Jesus.

It's not like we're sending the Palestinians military equipment.

What do I think?
I think as long as Israel has a policy of killing women, kids and journalists and using thirst and starvation as tools of war, that all aid to Jewish groups in Australia should be suspended and the money redirected to Israels victims, in the form of food, water, clothing and medicine, not money.
If Jews in Australia feel unsafe, they should lobby the Israeli government to stop killing innocents because they are becoming targets of other disgruntled western citizens, and they should pay for their own security.

Beyond that I think all foreign aid is somewhat treasonous so long as we have 100+ thousand homeless and citizens on hospital waiting lists.

WhiteMouse,

I have acknowledged the problems within UNRWA.
I don't believe that innocent Palestinian citizens
should be punished as a result.

Following the United Nation's investigation and its
pro-active commitments toward complete accountability
transparency and reform many countries who had
defunded UNRWA have resumed their funding.
Including as stated earlier - the European Union,
United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Finland, Germany,
Japan, and Sweden.

I don't think that they (or myself) are taking sides.
Merely providing humanitarian aid to people who need
help.

Why does it have to come down to taking sides? Why can't
we be on both sides - wishing an end to this conflicts
so that innocent people on both sides don't suffer any more?

Finger-pointing does not achieve anything productive.

Hi Foxy,

You again claim that Sweden funds UNWRA. That is no longer the case for Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands, so your statement is false. Why do you not acknowledge that things have changed and continue to make a false claim?

Also note that Sweden has doubled its aid to Gaza. By no longer providing that aid via UNRWA, a child abusing organisation integrated with Hamas, the aid provided will likely do more good.

"Last year, we told them, the head of your teachers union in Lebanon, overseeing 2,000 teachers, Mr. Fathi al-Sharif, is a Hamas guy, and we sent them 100 pages of screenshots from his Facebook account showing that he’s clearly a Hamas guy. And then they did nothing, and then Israel eliminated him in September.

On the day he was eliminated, a missile came to his apartment, second floor apartment outside of the city of Tyre, Lebanon. And on that day, Hamas said, you killed our leader. Hamas said, and they put out videos showing this Mr. Fathi al-Sharif, a school principal for UNRWA, the teachers union leader for UNRWA, that in fact, he was a close confidant of Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.

Pictures of him, and they praised, they eulogized his jihadi education. You couldn’t make the stuff up. And UNRWA didn’t do anything. And in the end, justice was delivered to him. But the point of the story is this guy for decades was teaching generations of Palestinians, and the American taxpayers were paying for it. The U.S. gave billions of dollars to fund people like Fathi al-Sharif, no more."
