  Nobody believes it. It’s entirely an effort to provide just enough legal cover for their genocide.

    Those allegations were made back in January, and nearly all donor governments - including Germany’s and our own - ultimately resumed funding for UNRWA:

      Eventually, a UN investigation found that nine UNRWA staff members may have been involved in the attack on Israel and terminated them

        Correct, after that the EU, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Australia, etc. determined that UNRWA was not a terrorist organisation, and resumed their funding.

        I’m assuming you mean live streaming of the attacks on 7 October? Do you have a source for this? I can’t even find anyone claiming this.

        As far as I’m aware, the nature of the evidence against UNRWA staff (if there was any) was never made public. If there was live streaming, I think the Israeli government would never stop talking about it.

        In any case, there were accusations against 12 UNRWA staff. UNRWA employed 13,000 people within the Gaza Strip, so even if those unproven accusations were true, it would hardly be indicative of UNRWA being a ‘terrorist organisation’.

    Drag doesn’t believe the German government on anything. Especially not issues of genocide. They don’t have a good record.

      Maybe try commenting somewhere else if you have nothing useful or constructive to say. You don’t believe the german government on anything because of… WWII? I just woke up and am taking a shit but I’m sure this is the dumbest thing I’ll have read today
