    This sounds like bullshit. There are no actual sources included or evidence provided besides "trust me bro" and th only thing this article serves to do is to justify prior and future attacks on aid workers.

      It's also worth pointing out that only nine members of staff have actually been implicated, of UNRWA's 30,000 employees, which makes the months of UNRWA being branded a terrorist organisation even more ridiculous. Even still, the language is super noncommittal, "could", "may have". Obviously, if they were involved in 7 October attack, they should be fired, but I'm going to hold of judgment until we get any concrete info on what these nine members of staff did.

      It's the result of the UN's own internal investigation into UNRWA. The full statement by Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, is available on UNRWA's website.

      They've already fired the nine UNRWA staff members involved.

        I don't care that they probably scapegoated a few of their own to appease the fascists at the helm of the zionist project. Anyone that takes this probably bogus claim seriously only serves to justify genocide and future killing of aid workers.

        And frankly if they did participate good for them for laying their lives and livelihoods on the line to try to do whatever possible to help liberate the subjects of genocide.

        TLDR you should be ashamed for spreading an unsubstantiated claim whose only purpose is to justify one of the most horrifying acts of imperial violence since the Vietnam war.
