The Israeli parliament gave preliminary approval on Monday to a bill that declares the main United Nations relief organisation for Palestinians a terrorist organisation and proposes to sever relations with the body, Reuters reports.

The vote against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) is the latest step in an Israeli push against the Agency, which Israeli leaders have accused of collaborating with the Hamas Movement in Gaza.

Israel has said hundreds of UNRWA staff are members of terrorist groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but has yet to provide evidence to a UN-appointed review.

And carpet bombing. Now it's your time to speak, Kamala. What do you have to say about this?

'Crickets' is the best Americans can hope for, to be fair.

Crickets would be immense improvement to arming and supporting a genocide.

She was part of the Biden regime so she is guilty of genocide just like Joe.

Have you considered blaming the people committing genocide? Of course not, because you don't actually give a shit about genocide, it's all just a bad faith attack point.

You mean Israel which is funded and equipped with American weapons? Yes, that's where I'm coming from. Try again
