    I wonder if Australia would halt funding to a UN agency that primarily helped Israeli’s, (in a time of overwhelming need), if we found some workers were celebrating the deaths of Palestinians… i can’t imagine that happening.

    If the mission of the agency is still being carried out, isn’t that the metric we should primarily refer to?

    Theres plenty of disgusting people in this world, we can’t afford to have the bar of association so high, the costs are yet greater. Are we just being hypocrites?

      Need a list of these countries that stopped sending money before an investigation even happened.
