              interference in Israel’s ability to secure itself

              So we shouldn’t interfere then, and let them buy their own weapons with their own money?

                We continued to fund UNRWA right up until we found out they were literally terrorists. I have no problem continuing to fund Israel with my tax dollars because they are most certainly not.

                  Wasn’t it about 0.04% of UNRWA who were accused of being involved in the terror attack? Even if the accusations turn out to be true*, your claim that “UNRWA are literally terrorists” is about as accurate as saying that all Israelis are terrorists. Because some Israelis most certainly are.

                  I’m not trying to convince you, because you clearly haven’t used rational thinking to arrive at your perspective. But you could at least try to make your argument a little bit more credible.

                  *They’re not true. According to Channel 4, the intelligence report “contains no evidence to support Israel’s claim.”

                    Huh. Crazy that the US would defend UNRWA without evidence. So either the entire US government is wrong, or you’re spreading misinformation.

                    Would love to see credible source backing up your outlandish claims.
