General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

And thus is why we can't have nice things...

There is a middle ground where those in the UN working for Hama's should be prosecuted but all we have is wildly polarised opinions.

Shutting this down.

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.

If they were involved they should be executed

If they were involved they should be given medals and speaking tours

You'd be cheering on the slaughter of participants in the Warsaw ghetto uprising you disgusting excuse for a human being.

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.

Yeah that's gonna be both a block and a report. I see enough antisemitism on a daily basis without dealing with this shit.
