    even as the Biden administration insists the aid group’s humanitarian work is indispensable.

    A supplemental funding bill in the U.S. Congress that includes military aid to Israel and Ukraine contains a provision that would block UNRWA from receiving funds if it becomes law. President Joe Biden’s administration supports the bill

    Well which one is it? You can’t say in public that their work is indispensable while also supporting a bill specifically blocking funds for their indispensable work while funding the genocide that makes said work so necessary.

    I mean, you can, but it makes you lying hypocrite bastards not worthy of public office, much less being the only alternative to literal fascism.

    In Gaza, UNRWA runs the enclave’s schools, its primary healthcare clinics and other social services, and distributes humanitarian aid.

    So it’s actually even MORE important than “the main aid agency”. That makes the withholding of funding even MORE morally repugnant! Absolutely unconscionable!

    UNRWA is a front, plain and simple," Representative Brian Mast, the Republican chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee “It is literally funneling American tax dollars to terrorism”

    Gaslight ✅️

    Obstruct ❓️

    Project ✅️

    And of course the article fails to mention that the Israeli government hasn’t produced a shred of evidence to anyone in support of their claims from two months ago. This is just as much aiding and abetting the genocide as the weapons and funding are!
