One is accused of kidnapping a woman. Another is said to have handed out ammunition. A third was described as taking part in the massacre at a kibbutz where 97 people died. And all were said to be employees of the United Nations aid agency that schools, shelters and feeds hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The accusations are contained in a dossier provided to the United States government that details Israel’s claims against a dozen employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency who, it says, played a role in the Hamas attacks against Israel on Oct. 7 or in their aftermath.
The U.N. said on Friday that it had fired several employees after being briefed on the allegations. But little was known about the accusations until the dossier was reviewed on Sunday by The New York Times.
So no actual evidence then, just allegations obediently parroted by the New York Times without any further investigation
Yeah, how dare they inform us of the information the UN and world governments are using to fire people, investigate organizations, and cut off aid. Those bastards! Before they published this all we knew was that at least 12 people were accused of somehow being involved in the Oct 7 attack. And that’s all we should know, damn it! The public has no right to know what Israel’s specific allegations are OR what evidence they claim to have to support them! What injustice! Do your job and keep us in the dark, journalists!
(It’s bananas what people will upvote in these Israel-Palestine threads.)
And yet we will continue to believe every thing they tell us about all the other places the US government doesn’t like.
