Israel unveils tunnels underneath Gaza City headquarters of UN agency for Palestinian refugees

The Israeli military says it has discovered tunnels underneath the main headquarters of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza City, alleging that Hamas militants used the space as an electrical supply room.

The unveiling of the tunnels marked the latest chapter in Israel’s campaign against the embattled agency, which it accuses of collaborating with Hamas.

Recent Israeli allegations that a dozen staff members participated in the Hamas attack on Israel Oct. 7 plunged the agency into a financial crisis, prompting major donor states to suspend their funding as well as twin investigations. The agency says that Israel has also frozen its bank account, embargoed aid shipments and canceled its tax benefits.

The army invited journalists to view the tunnel on Thursday.

Aceticon,

When I was scrolling down I saw the title first before seeing the forum and immediatelly thought - I kid you not - that “This must be The Onion”.

One has to be incredibly naive (or a pro-Israel racist) to believes in all these “amazing coincidences” one after the other of Israel suddenly “discovering” (whilst providing zero evidence) all manner of bad things about the Humanitarian agency that’s keeping Palestinians from starving to death and thus impeding a “final solution” for the “Palestinian problem” (both quotes are from Israeli officials)

febra,

Holy shit. I knew they were genocidal as fuck, but I didn’t know they actually used those words. Could you please post some sources for those quotes? I’d love to take a look into it.

bramblepatchmystery,

So do you get paid for your posts here?

febra,

3€ for every sentence

bramblepatchmystery,

Given your history here is essentially just this, I think there js a good chance you are being somewhat honest in this answer.

febra,

Yes, I care about the Palestinian cause quite a lot.

Now go do your hasbara somewhere else

Rapidcreek,

You can minimalize it as much as you want. Better than the previous denial i guess. But the fact is, multiple countries have stopped donations and they will not fund until the UN presents a full and transparent investigation.

When will Israel submit evidence to the UN?

We need a full and transparent investigation of Israel.

Rapidcreek,

It’s the UN’s agency. It’s up to them to do the fact finding if they want funding.

No.

Israel is the one who made the claim.

It is up to them to provide evidence.

Rapidcreek,

No. You don’t trust what Isreal says so you want them to investigate a separate organization? Now why would that be?

Deceptichum,

I want them to submit their evidence to the UN to be assessed by an organization designated for peace.

You want to blindly believe anything Israel claims, despite the constant history of lying. I can only assume this is to justify to yourself the atrocities they are committing?

Rapidcreek,

No. I’ll see what the UN claims. You can suppose anything you want about me, but you don’t have to suppose this will be our last communication

A.K.A. you'll blindly believe Israel despite them giving zero proof to the international community.

I bet you believed Saddam had WMD's too.
