The United States told the International Court of Justice Wednesday that Israel must provide aid to Gaza, but the country does not have to work with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees.

The top court of the United Nations is holding a week of hearings on what Israel must do to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, following a request for an advisory opinion from the U.N. General Assembly last year.

The U.S. said Israel had legitimate concerns about the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, also known as UNRWA, the largest provider of aid in the beleaguered Gaza Strip. […]

In January, Israel banned the agency from operating on its territory. Israel alleges that 19 out of UNRWA’s approximately 13,000 staff in Gaza took part in Hamas’ attack in southern Israel, which killed about 1,200 people and set off the war in Gaza. …

UNRWA’s approximately 13,000 staff in Gaza

That is such a ridiculous number of people for a relief agency serving less than 2 million people.

What other group of people on Earth have gone on receiving continuous “emergency humanitarian aid” for the last 75 years?

When can the Palestinian Arabs be expected to take off the training wheels and start functioning for themselves? They’ve been given every opportunity to do so and have not.

At one point prior to WWII, the Nazis floated the idea of relocating all the Jews in Europe to Zanzibar. In the unlikely event that they had done so, who doubts that Zanzibar would now be the most prosperous and successful nation on Earth?

Could the Palestinians pull off something similar? Who knows?

UNWRA ha# been helping Hamas for years, not just Oct 7th. Repeatedly terrorists and weapons caches have been found at UNWRA facilities. Where did Hamas get all of the concrete to build tunnels and bunker? UNWRA.

Why does Israel have to provide aid to the very people that want to destroy them?
Did we provide aid to japan , Nazi Germany or Italy during ww2?

Since Israel is surrounded by islamic acreage 540 times the size of tiny Israel, there are plenty of places for these palis to set up shop on islamic land.

Could’ve done it way back in 1947 too. But thir propaganda demands the reclamation of all lands previously under the sway of the Caliphate, including all of Israel; they will always hold that view.
