Belgium decided to continue funding UNRWA on 31 January. It seems israel bombed Belguim's building in Gaza overnight/the morning after.
These types of spiteful bullying acts for petty reasons perfectly represent israel's policy over the years.
That's 100% terrorism
The US did the same thing during the whole "Freedom Fries" BS.
We were running a bombing run on Iraq, France denied us use of their airspace so we flew ALL THE WAY around France, ran the attack and "accidentally" bombed the French embassy in Iraq.
Oopsie.
Joke at the time was "Maybe our pilots would have had better aim if they had had a little more sleep!"
This should show anybody that Belgium did the right thing. The ICJ ordered Israel to provide humanitarian aid, instead on the same day they use threats, bribes, corruption to get multiple countries to cut off humanitarian aid! This is further evidence of genocidal intent!
And then they carry out a clear act of terrorism against those who do not make themselves complicit in their genocide!
They bombed the power stations, water supply, hospitals, 70% of all housing. If Israel is allowed to continue hundreds of thousands are going to starve or die of thirst or diseases. Or infections because on top of the 30.000+ there are many times more wounded.
What an absolute horror... they have taken 30 eyes for each eye, 30 teeth for each tooth, plus an extra 1500 children's legs.
Israel is a terrorist state. The guys who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin are literally running their government. Their slow rolling subjugation of Palestinians is now a blatant genocide.
This post was erroneously removed by the AutoMod as a rule 1 violation. I don't see anything here that would constitute a rule 1.
Previous posts on this topic were removed to poor sourcing, but in this case CommonDreams is impeccable.
lemmy.world has had to beef up auto removal tools due to some jack-wagon posting child pornography. That's the kind of garbage YOU don't want to see and the mod team shouldn't HAVE to see.
I think this post was caught in the crossfire.
Your efforts to keep it all above board are appreciated, truly.

Thanks mods!! ❤️
They’re doing a whole lot of fucking around for a surprisingly low amount of finding out. This ratio has to be unsustainable.
Bombing a building belonging to the government of a member of NATO and the EU? If literally any other Middle East country had done that, they would be invaded and bombed back to the stone age by every ally, led by the US.
Not the Israeli apartheid government, though. They get to do whatever the fuck they want to whomever the fuck they want with no repercussions because AIPAC and groups like them are bribing the majority of American politicians and the US government forces the rest of the world to do whatever the fuck THEY want! 🤬🤬🤬
That sounds like an act of war...
let me guess, Israel gets a pass, again?
They get three more whoopsies and then they'll have to start cashing in their oopsie-daisies.
The EU needs to section them already.
How the fuck is there not a political officer in the air strikes room.
Wait…..
fun thing about the whole "UNRWA sponsors Hamas" thing, Israel has failed to provide any evidence of the claim but pro-genocide governments all around the world sentenced a lot of innocent people to death based on the claim anyway.
Remember when Israel said Hamas was beheading babies? The president of the United States signal boosted that claim, then his office had to walk it back when it turned out to be false.
"Israel refuses to share either its evidence or the intelligence dossier"
Just like beheaded babies, this is some trumped up bullshit. it's just that israel also seems ready to murder anyone who doesn't fall for it.
Do we not fuck them up yet?
For real, Israel is a nation surrounded by hornets nests and they're still making enemies hundreds of miles away.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
