So you seem to think that every single male killed in Gaza was a militant? Amazing really, Palestinian men must be extremely lucky. Thousands of women and children 'accidentally' killed but every single man was a legitimate target. Do you really expect people to swallow that horse💩?

I do not accept that Israel has killed 9000 Hamas militants. We know that Israel has killed 28,000 Palestinians, and we know that at least 70% of them are women and children. Hamas comes out at 2 civilians per 1 IDF soldier, Israel's comes to 3 Civilians per 1 Hamas militant... And that is ONLY if you believe that every single man Israel killed was a Hamas militant. Details and source below. For Israel to have killed 9000 Hamas militants, every single man they have killed thus far would have to be a terrorist. Seems highly unlikely considering the amount of women and children killed, that every single man was a Hamas militant. It would be incredible really, because that would mean no men in Gaza are innocent civilians. I suppose that is what Israel believes anyway. https://www.barrons.com/news/new-tally-puts-october-7-attack-dead-in-israel-at-1-163-78182279 The latest death toll from the attack is now 767 civilians, 20 hostages and 376 members of the security forces, giving a total of 1,163. One person remains missing.

This has nothing to do with the conversation. Schools are not even open, most of them have been blown up. Aid must enter Gaza now. Stop blocking the aid Israel.

First three posters all comment about Israeli hostages, while ignoring the Palestinian hostages. Just another bunch of war crimes to chalk up on Israel's score board. Quite frankly, Hamas have a much better civilian to militant death ratio than Israel. Most moral army... yeah right. The world sees what Israel is doing, and the longer this goes on, and the more people read about this and all of the events leading up to it, more and more people realize what Israel really is. My position has completely changed - I was relatively supportive of Israel at the start, with Palestinian sympathies. Now I have become a lot more pro-Palestinian because I have educated myself about the history. An apartheid, racist state that is currently being investigated for committing genocide. A state that was set up whilst dispossessing almost a million Palestinians of their homes. Rape, murder, poisoning drinking water, theft. These are all crimes committed by Israel first, against the Palestinian people. Breaking each and every ceasefire agreement ever made with the Arab population of occupied territories. They have repressed and occupied them for decades, but no sympathy or understanding of their plight from Israeli supporters. Even Biden said yesterday that Israel has 'gone over the top'. The staunchest ally of Israel is now saying they have gone to far.

You just don't get it, do you? Israel has clearly stated for decades that it wants UNRWA destroyed. It hates the organization fervently. It has tried to smear it and de fund it for decades. Bibi literally said the victory won't be complete until UNRWA is finished. Yet you still believe the smears and lies, even when independent media in the West - the UK's channel 4 - get a hold of the complete intelligence dossier and found it contained no evidence for any of its accusations. Look at this picture of a crowd in Israel demanding UNRWA must be disbanded. Do you believe that Russia really invaded Ukraine to de nazify the country? If not, why do you trust propaganda without any evidence from Israel, but you don't trust propaganda from Russia? Quite simply, the conversation is pointless anyway. Aid needs to enter Gaza. The ICJ has ruled on this, and all signatories to the genocide convention must abide by it. UNRWA is the only agency who is able to deliver aid at this moment in time. The accused have been fired and investigations are ongoing. Now the European Union is backtracking.

It is an Israeli tactic to try and separate Gaza & West Bank. The two places are not separate, they are both parts of a future Palestinian state, and they are both under occupation. When things kick off in the Gaza strip, they are not just about things happening there, they are responding to events happening in the West Bank - and vice versa. The facts are thus. Israel has broken every single ceasefire that has ever been enacted - by continuing to build and expand settlements in the West Bank. Hamas will never stop until Israel abides by international law and leaves the occupied territories. If you want to know the facts, listen to Noam Chomsky.

Put your thinking cap on for just a moment. How did the IDF uncover a tunnel under UNRWA's headquarters? It would not be possible without either blowing up the headquarters, or IDF soldiers illegally breaking into it. What you are misleadingly presenting as a tunnel shaft into the organization is probably a tunnel running underneath it. How did they know this? How did they find it? There is literally no information. This story is 2 days old, and it has not been picked up by any western media. There might be a tunnel running underneath it - apparently there are tunnels underneath all of Gaza. There will not be a tunnel shaft running into UNRWA.

I know exactly what is contained in the report - no evidence. You can keep bleating on about this, or you can accept mainstream independent Western Media who have analyzed these documents and found them to be lacking any evidence whatsoever. You obviously didn't watch the video, as the report showed several pages. They even said at the start of the video "we analyzed all 16 pages of the intelligence dossier". Stop lying about what the report is, and what it contains. Did you not know that this Israeli government is far right? There are literally people who have been convicted of terrorism in the government (Ben Givr). The entire world reports that this is a far right government. We both know you know this. Stop deflecting, admit when you are wrong. It wasn't my opinion that I referenced. It was a picture of the laws all signatories must abide by, from a reputable source - the UN. Governments are concerned which is why the EU is now backtracking and is talking about resuming funds. Biden is currently being sued in the USA for enabling genocide and the court has accepted the case. The ICJ has ruled that genocide is plausibly being committed. How many more court cases does Israel need to lose for you to pull your head out of the sand? How many more UN resolution s does Israel have to break - I think we are at 26 legally binding orders it is ignoring. How much more of the West Bank will Israel steal until you pull your head out of the sand? How many more Palestinian deaths will it take? I haven't avoided it like the plague, you just keep spouting this nonsense and ignoring the facts that media has seen the report and reported on it. I have answered you several times already - it is unconscionable, unfathomable and immoral. Even if the allegations were true - which they are not - 0.009% of employees does not represent the 30,000 members of staff UNRWA has. Ignoring the facts that Israel wants this organization destroyed, and has publicly stated its intentions over decades should not come as a surprise to someone who claims to be informed. In fact, Israel's allegations should be taken with a truck load of salt because of its clearly stated goals to destroy UNRWA. Quite why governments are doing this is beyond me. It truly is. Even if the allegations are true, it is such a small minority, and the aid MUST continue. The ICJ has ordered that more aid MUST reach the Palestinian people. What these governments are doing is illogical, immoral and absolutely insane! These governments who are shirking their duties are the ones who are in control of UNRWA, renew its mission, elect the heads of it. etc. It's like they don;t trust themselves - ridiculous!

I didn't call you any names. I used trolling as a verb, and questioned whether you were trolling or not being serious.

Stupid comment. There are no findings in the report. Only unproven allegations. Completely true. Israelis even have their own versions of history. For example, they believe that Palestinians were not forcibly expelled during 1947/48. They believe that the Arabs just launched attacks at them for declaring a state. Nope. The Israelis were forcibly evicting them in the hundreds of thousands, rape, murder, poisoning their water - which is a war crime documented by the Israeli soldiers who did it, and the Red Cross. Israelis are indoctrinated to believe that they are eternal victims and innocents in this conflict, which is categorically, empirically false. No I'm not a legal expert. But I can read the ICJ rulings, the UN conventions. They are quite clear on the matter. Channel 4 read the report and reported on it saying there is no evidence. So now you won't believe it until the report is released? Interesting. Your quite happy to jump on the bandwagon and de fund UNRWA without seeing a report at all. But when evidence comes out that the report is BS you must see it to believe.

Channel 4 obtained the same report, this is proof that there is no evidence. What more do you need? An Israeli spokesman to come out and say "Yeah, we made it up"? Some people just won't believe the facts when presented with them. Not my fault. I'm not making it up, so are you accusing Channel 4 of lying in their reporting? Police, NHS etc are all large organizations. When small percentages of them do something wrong, we don't stop their funding. Funding continues whilst investigations are run. Lucy Letby was paid while she was under investigation. So were police officers who were accused of grave crimes. UNRWA has already fired the ones who Israel smeared, and an investigation is underway. Yet many governments responded by cutting funding to an organization supporting over 2 million people - almost 85% of which are crammed into Rafah which is about to be ground assaulted by the IDF - air strikes have already killed people there. So according to you, if a country is signed up to the genocide conventions, they are not obligated to do everything in their power to prevent it? Either you are trolling, or you are not a serious person. https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide-convention.shtml My position on Israel's existence is that it did indeed deserve to be a country. However, now that the far right wing has completely taken over and has indoctrinated their children to hate Arabs and that they are the only legitimate indigenous people who deserve to be free from the river to the sea... that Israel does not deserve to exist. It is a pariah internationally, this is not a controversial view. When right wing, fascist governments take power, people's rights invariably suffers. Kick out the right wing and start negotiating. Leave the occupied territories. Stop controlling the West Bank and snatching Palestinians out of their beds at night - locking them up without any charges or legal recourse. Israel will not be safe until it abides by international law. How many do you think are being radicalized right this second? tens of thousands dead, tens of thousands seriously injured, unknown numbers of bodies under the rubble. Settler violence and IDF war crimes in the West Bank. And this will keep Israel safe?

Channel 4 reporting is making up my own facts eh? Nope. That's what Israel did to smear UNRWA - get it right. Point 4 is a legal issue. Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of international law is aware that if a country signs up to the '1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide' then that country is legally obligated to prevent genocide, anywhere it may be being committed, when made aware that one is plausibly being committed. The ICJ ruling made this clear to all signatories of the convention. By withholding aid from the largest aid agency, they are assisting Israel in its genocide. Israel is allowing around 95 trucks a day into Gaza - prior to the conflict, there were 500 trucks a day entering. Israel is making it almost impossible to get aid into the strip, even things like surgical knives are being rejected and are sitting in a huge warehouse. I learned all of this by listening to a British politician who was talking to Andrew Marr on LBC. He explained how long the whole process takes, and how Israel has made it virtually impossible for aid to enter. He visited the warehouses piled full of vital aid that he says Israel will not let in. It contained things like surgical knives, water etc. UNRWA have stated that they will have to cease operations within this month. We are almost at mid Feb. What are you even trying to say? We have time for an investigation? No, the investigation will take months - especially in the midst of a warzone. We don't stop funding the Roman Catholic church - but we all know its priests love to diddle little kids. We've had several Lucy Letby's and other killers working in the NHS - we don't stop paying all NHS workers while we investigate these crimes . We've had so many police officers thrown in jail for crimes such as rape, murder, pedophilia etc - we haven't stopped funding the police force. This knee jerk reaction from these western governments is disgusting, unconscionable and unexplainable. I wonder why Arab nations might think it is fair that the Western Nations who supported the original Nakba 1948 and who continue supporting Israeli occupation since 1967 pay for the mistakes they made. Western nations caused this problem by capitulating and supporting the political Zionist movement. Western nations should pay for it.

1) if you had watched the video, you would know that this is the same report that was given to governments. Fact - Govs made their decisions without any evidence 2) If anyone is treating things as facts without evidence, it is the governments who withdrew funding on allegations made without evidence. 3) I believe they are lies based on the evidence - or rather, a lack thereof. 4) Of course it is a legal issue. The ICJ ruled that aid must be allowed to enter Gaza. The ICJ's ruling against Israel legally binds all nations to prevent the genocide of Palestinians, as the genocide case was found to be plausible. By withdrawing aid and not allowing UNRWA to carry out its life saving work, they are stiffing aid into Gaza. This makes those countries legally complicit in the genocide. 5) Everything I blame Israel for, I have evidence to back it up. Like their lies about UNRWA - I provided evidence from Channel 4. I also provided several links and videos of Israeli media and politicians demanding the destruction of UNRWA over the last few decades. 6) Your last point is the most egregious. There is plausibly a genocide happening right now. This is what the ICJ ruling said. If there was 'no genocide' as you say, South Africa's case would have been thrown out. Israel lost, and is now being dragged through the courts to fight against being labelled a genocidal state. I cannot explain the actions of those governments. According to the report on channel 4, this is the same report given to our governments. Even if the evidence shows that 12 were indeed involved (0.009% of UNRWA workers that were all cleared by Israeli intelligence services to work for UNRWA), funding should not stop! There is no other agency in Gaza that has the capacity, manpower or knowledge to give aid to the people in Gaza. They know this. I know this. Perhaps you know this? So it is absolutely ridiculous to be stopping the flow of aid. The UN set up UNRWA, These countries that are withholding donations vote on the leadership of UNRWA and approve its mission, budgets and staff. It is an organization controlled by these countries. Is it not insane what they are doing?

Do you not realize that you are talking about yourself? You have no evidence to prove any of these claims because there is no evidence. This has been proven by Channel 4's reporting. What you are saying is that we must believe the lies because so many other people do... even though it has been proven that the lies are lies. Do you not see how ridiculous that sounds? 'My mum and dad said it was true, so it must be". That's not how the world works. That's not how international law works. No evidence, no conviction. Are we not forgetting the most important western value in the legal world? Innocent until proven guilty. There is zero evidence. Zilch. Nada. What these governments are doing is aiding and abetting Israel's genocidal actions in the Gaza strip. More evidence for South Africa to batter them with over the course of their genocide trial.

Don't you get it? This is precisely what Israel has done. Accusations about UNRWA without providing any intelligence to support their claims. You wish to believe a conspiracy theory about UNRWA without any evidence - then 'of course' - that's up to you.

It's not dodging, I cannot fathom why they would withdraw funding. It is ludicrous. So what your saying is that Israel is completely incompetent? The country that is famous for spy exports (Pegasus etc.) cannot vet employees properly, had no idea that there was an attack being prepared for, and cannot keep its secret documents secret? Really? Very convenient do you not think? They want UNRWA destroyed, so they smear it. Of course Israel initiated this, it was sent to all donor countries by Israel. It leaked from Israel because it came from Israel. Denying they did it on purpose is par for the course, right?

You are just flat out lying. The video clearly explains that this is the same document sent to those governments. It contains no evidence. How am i dodging, i responded earlier. I cannot be blamed for idiotic governments swallowing this BS. If you had actually bothered to watch the video, you would have noted that Israel was the one who sent this dossier out to all donor countries. If you had actually bothered to be informed, you would have known that Israel hates UNRWA and has wanted its destruction for decades now. Facts are thus: Israel made stuff up to smear the organization that it has wanted to destroy for years.

Thanks for this. I told the immigration officer what happened to me last time I went to get a ME non O based on marriage, and they were all shocked that I had to show 400k. They seemed to think this was completely wrong and insinuated that it might be due to wanting a contribution towards the tea tin.

The report clearly states that it is the full 16 page 'intelligence dossier'. Quite why they called it an intelligence dossier is beyond me, it contains no intelligence. So if anyone is just 'making things up' then I am afraid the empirical evidence points to Israel... again. They have been found out to be lying. You can try to distract us away from the point that there is 'nothing to see here'... but we know better. The US has consistently said the allegations are plausible, yet they are unable to be verified. Why is that? Oh, because is there is no evidence. Furthermore, if you had watched the video, it states that Israel vetted each and every UNRWA worker a few months prior to the attack - in May. Israel signed off on each and every worker. So is Israel incompetent, or is it lying? We can now see that it is indeed lying again. I will use 'we' to refer to normal human beings as many times as i like. we we we we we. If we can't acknowledge the truth when it is literally in front of our eyes, then we have issues. we we we we we.

If you had actually watched the video - and this is all over Youtube and social media now - you would know that your statement is false. Channel 4 obtained the full 16 page intelligence dossier that was supposed to contain evidence of UNRWA employees working for Hamas. It contained no evidence for any of Israels claims. Keep on deflecting buddy, it ain't working. The world sees what is happening. I can address your point. There is no evidence. Nothing. We finally have the documents that all those other countries received. Is it my fault that those governments are so biased they will flatly believe anything that Israel says? No. Governments around the world are increasingly isolating themselves from the wishes of their general populations. You can keep your head in the sand if you wish. You can continue to defend the indefensible if you wish. The evidence has been found out to be total horse💩

So we finally have the evidence - WHOOPS, there is no evidence. Israel has not provided a single piece of evidence to back up its claims, yet more proof that this far right Israeli government is lying through their back teeth.

Thai made tat is just as 💩as Chinese made tat. Can anyone explain why these ridiculous 'garments' are needed in such high volumes? I thought they were the go to attire for backpackers exclusively.

Maybe he baked a cake in the Agricultural ministry at 6pm and that's why the fire started.... whoops, all the evidence has gone!

Good news for the USD - BHT exchange rate if this all kicks off. I wonder how large and how long the protests will be this time.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I have no expertise at all, and I didn't read through all of the details in each person's post. In that case, it does seem unreasonable for the customer to complain, and it does look like he was having a temper tantrum. That being said, is it unreasonable to express your opinion? Other flights did indeed land after holding for a short while. The passenger is entitled to his opinion. Especially on a platform like FB where your posts are intended for your friends and family. It would be a different story altogether if he had posted this on their public website. I definitely won't be flying with TA because of this. Not because the pilot was right or wrong, but because they sued a customer for something written on his personal Facebook page. Childish games, and I won't fly with an airway that engages in such behavior. I believe the airway is being completely unreasonable. You can complain and throw out accusations in anger, but if you apologize and take down the post, then that should settle the matter. Defamation suits are a great way to take revenge, and to shut up any other customers. I definitely will not be flying with this airway, because it treats its customers this way.
