Channel 4 News reports that it found “no evidence to support its explosive new claim” by Israel that employees of United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) participated with Hamas in the October 7th attacks.

    Technically if they had found the identity cards on Hamas then it would be considered evidence. That’s not what it says, though. It says the identity cards were confiscated during Israeli Military Operations. Just like when Israel bombed a hospital filled with children and claimed it was a Hamas Base.

      So why not just say the truth? “We refuse to believe any evidence Israel provides on anything”?

      Seems more honest and more efficient.

        Pot calls the Kettle willfully ignorant. Pot claims Israel’s word alone should be good enough to slaughter tens of thousands, leaving hundreds of thousands to starve.

        You know why Israel can’t provide the “Evidence” to the public? Because they’ve got nothing.

          Because it would compromise intelligence sources? Countries don’t share intelligence with anyone, only with other countries they trust. Those countries immediately stopped funding the UNWRA, despite the political cost of doing so.

          Even the UN fired some people and launched a probe into it. Seems the UN doesn’t think “they’ve got nothing.”

            The cited intelligence sources were literally armed troops confiscating items from occupied territory. Why would they need protection? From what? They’re not hiding from anything.

            Only 9 nations withdrew funding, the largest of which was the USA with roughly half the budget cuts total amount.
