  1. Nick is right, you may want to check the data in the other topics: Hamas admits one-third of its data on Gazan deaths is ‘incomplete’ Scrutiny Over Gaza Death Toll Figures: UK Statistics Watchdog Investigates Hamas's Data
  2. Another vile propaganda video of one of the hostages released by the terrorists yesterday, Hersh Goldberg-Polin. He was one of the 29 people that had huddled together in one of the shelters at the Nova Music festival before Hamas began to throw grenades inside. Eight people survived by hiding under the bodies of the dead, he was one, although had his hand blown off and taken hostage. He's an Israeli-American.
  3. So all those misleading headlines from NYT, Guardian etc. Here is the head of the UN probe addressing this directly. They had “excellent cooperation” with Israel. Head of UNRWA probe rejects @guardian headline, says she had “excellent cooperation” with Israel; her mandate had nothing to do with identifying UNRWA terrorists, Israel is sharing info with separate UN inquiry run by OIOS. ----- Q: How would you characterize the Israeli cooperation with you, given that as you may have seen today, the main takeaway from your report is Israel has yet to provide any evidence for its allegations that UNRWA personnel were involved in the October 7th attack. So how would you characterize that cooperation and this main takeaway? Catherine Colonna: Thank you. I covered everybody when I said that we received very good cooperation from everywhere, including Israel. I could go in details who received us and so on and so forth, but I want to repeat that we had an excellent cooperation from all sides. Now about one of the quotes—I couldn't read everything this morning—but one of the quotes that have been issued does not respect, I think, the text of the report. We have written – and the beauty of writing reports is that you can refer to what's written—we've written that UNRWA has not received evidence by Israel, not that there is no evidence. It's very different. So please, again and again, refer to the content of the report and not to what you hear sometimes about it. I would really appreciate if you could base your comments and base your judgments on the content and not on preconceived opinions. Q: You stated that Israel has given no evidence to UNRWA about their claims that any UNRWA employees took part in October 7th, but did you during your investigation ask Israel for evidence? Catherine Colonna: Thank you for this opportunity to have me repeating that there must be no confusion between what we've been tasked for, which is assessing whether UNRWA does everything in its power to ensure neutrality and address challenges, etc., and what the OIOS is in charge of. There are two separate missions. So allegations regarding individuals, a difficult case, are in the scope of the OIOS mission. It is not the scope of our mandate. And by the way, it is no surprise that Israel did not provide evidence to UNRWA because it doesn't owe this evidence during the investigation to UNRWA, but to the OIOS. And my understanding is that they have a better cooperation now than at the beginning, and that the team will, their investigators will return there soon. So this is a separate, separate mission.
  4. Started to watch then saw it was a blacked out unverified anonymous person. intermingled with a few X vids that have been floating around for months.
  5. It have been many corruption articles, so wondering why you guys have not paid attention. Even responsible to deliver food for the front, Just a few heads up of many Oh the higher one thinks nobody else knows about corruption in Ukraine. News for you, of course its known. A little more news for you. Its even worse in Russia.
  6. There you go deliberately lying again. This war started on Oct 7th 2023. There were others before that. You spew nothing but misinformation.
  7. No complexity. The war started 10/7 https://twitter.com/Ostrov_A/status/1782979397458215335
  8. Actor @MichaelRapaport addresses Jewish crowd outside Columbia. “These are bullies. These are cowards. These are pathetic low life scumbags. Agenda number 1 is to free our hostages. Agenda 1A is to eradicate Hamas to the very last one of them.”
  9. You missed the update. Have a great day! Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will announce the largest-ever military aid package to Ukraine from the UK on his visit to Poland today. The £500 million additional funding announced today – which takes us to £3 billion in UK military aid for Ukraine this financial year – will be used to rapidly deliver urgently-needed ammunition, air defence, drones and engineering support. The drones will be procured in the UK and the funds will support a scale-up in domestic defence supply chains. The Ministry of Defence will also send our largest-ever single package of equipment from the UK, designed to help push back the Russian invasion on land, sea and air. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-to-announce-its-largest-ever-aid-package-to-ukraine/
  10. Stands to reason, there indeed needs to be real progress in almost every aspect of neutrality. White House wants ‘real progress’ before US restores UNRWA funding “In terms of our funding of UNRWA, that is still suspended. We’re gonna have to see real progress here before that gets changed,” Kirby says. Many donor countries have resumed funding since Israel’s accusations, including Sweden, Canada, Japan, the EU and France — while others, including the United States and Britain — have continued to hold out.“We welcome the results of this report and strongly support the recommendations in the report,” Kirby says, noting that the United States also faced legal constraints in restarting its funding. Congress passed a bill signed into law by President Joe Biden last month that blocks US funding until March 2025. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/white-house-wants-real-progress-before-us-restores-unrwa-funding/
  11. Why would you criticize an Israeli in London or anywhere in the UK. Would you also criticize a Palestinian or Russian or Iranian?
  12. The report does not go into that. Perhaps you will instead
  13. Topic on it here with 45 pages of the actual report pdf UNRWA neutrality must be strengthened, independent review finds https://aseannow.com/topic/1325677-unrwa-neutrality-must-be-strengthened-independent-review-finds
  14. If I was you I would read the forum rules. Noted however you antisemitic vile post.
  15. then preceded to open his Jewish mouth, and tried eating his Jewish foot. Vile disgusting statement.
  16. I wasn't responding to political leaders or western commentators, I do know who I was responding to and with reason,
  17. If you can believe it! They don't even know how many hostages are alive. Hamas says Gaza death toll reaches 34,183 https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/hamas-says-gaza-death-toll-reaches-34183/
  18. Colonna stressed that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appointed the independent review panel to review UNRWA’s neutrality — not to investigate Israeli allegations that 12 UNRWA staffers participated in the Oct. 7 attacks. Guterres ordered the U.N. internal watchdog, the Office of Internal Oversight Services, known as OIOS, to conduct a separate investigation into those Israeli allegations. “It is a separate mission. And it is not in our mandate,” Colonna said. She also said it is not surprising that Israel did not provide evidence of its allegations to the refugee agency “because it doesn’t owe this evidence during the investigation to UNRWA but to the OIOS.” In a wide-ranging 48-page report released Monday, the independent panel said UNRWA has “robust” procedures to uphold the U.N. principle of neutrality, but it cited serious gaps in implementation, including staff publicly expressing political views, textbooks used in schools the agency runs with “problematic content” and staff unions disrupting operations. It makes 50 recommendations to improve UNRWA’s neutrality. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-unrwa-united-nations-28a63ddef23efdc4b050b0bcbdb587ff Full report pdf download link https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2024/04/unrwa_independent_review_on_neutrality.pdf
