Democrats’ stunning turn-around on U.S.-provided funding for UNRWA is a triumph for hard-right activists and Republican lawmakers who have long sought to undermine the U.N. agency.

    A group that employs 30,000 people and gives aid to millions loses its funding because 12 people were accused of participating in a terrorist act, independent of the organisation they worked for.

    This is like putting the entire Republican party in prison because of Trump’s actions.

      Accused by Israel whose evidence is confessions gained through interrogation, and screenshots of vaguely pro Palestine messages in an anonymous telegram people were using to coordinate aid efforts. Blatant insubstantial bullshit.

            You don’t have to meet them all if you know their values.

            Like I don’t need to meet a Nazi to know I hate them.

            This is a group based purely on ideology, you can hate on that freely.

              The heads of the Republican party are all engaged in conspiracy against the United States, it’s just politically incorrect to criminally prosecute your civil opponent.
