Punishing UNRWA while Palestinians die is unconscionable, why Helen Clark is right and if it is a taxpayers issue, shouldn’t the IDF refund us?

UN chief calls for resumed funding of Palestinian aid agency after allegations of militant ties

The secretary-general of the United Nations on Sunday called on countries to resume funding the main agency providing aid in the Gaza Strip after a dozen of its employees were accused of taking part in the Hamas attack on Israel that ignited the war four months ago.

The dispute engulfing the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees came as U.S. officials said negotiators were closing in on a cease-fire agreement. The emerging deal would bring a two-month halt to the deadliest-ever Israeli-Palestinian violence, which has stoked instability across the Middle East.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the agency known as UNRWA would be forced to scale back aid to more than 2 million Palestinians in Gaza as soon as February. The coastal enclave is in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis, with a quarter of the population facing starvation as fighting and Israeli restrictions hinder the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged territory.

 

The Taxpayers Union is demanding to know if NZ taxpayer money is going to ‘terrorism’!

Even Sean Plunkett was parroting Israeli apologist propaganda yesterday demanding to know if Taxpayer money was being spent on terrorism.

Seeing as the IDF have killed 140 UNRWA staff since October 7th, doesn’t that mean that we as Taxpayers should be demanding the IDF refund us for killing the staff members we are funding?

We send UNRWA a million dollars, they have 13 000 staff, so that’s $76.92 per staff member and the IDF have killed 140 of them, so from a purely taxpayers perspective, shouldn’t we be demanding IDF refund us $10, 769?

Helen has been righteous on this arguing that allegations against a dozen staff in an organisation of over 13 000 does not justify stopping the desperately needed aid!

Ex-PM Helen Clark urges NZ to continue UNRWA funding

Former prime minister Helen Clark has urged the Government not to cut funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) after allegations against several members of its staff.

This entire issue around the UNRWA is being pushed by Israel in an attempt to eclipse the UN ruling against them and their ethnic cleansing war crime!

The IDF have killed 140 UNRWA staff and then have the audacity to play victim when a dozen of them are alleged to be involved in the October 7th attack.

That our stupid war monger Hard Right Racist Government is actually considering stopping AID to pacify our American Political Masters highlights how much influence the Israeli Apologists have over our mainstream media.

The IDF have killed over 25 000, wounded over 68 000, forced removal of almost 2 million and the traumatisation of an entire population.

The IDF have dropped more bombs on Gaza in  the first week than America did in its  war against Afghanistan over an entire year!

The IDF have killed more civilians in 2 months than Russia has in 2 years of war with the Ukraine and we are very clear those acts of violence are war crimes!

Israel’s disproportionate response is an ethnic cleansing war crime that the UN have ruled as a possible genocide, pretending a dozen UNRWA staff members is the reason we need to support Israel’s ethnic cleansing war crime is a fucking joke and only the most spiteful intellect would attempt to use this.
