And nobody is likely to be surprised



UK pauses funding to UNRWA over claims staff were involved in Hamas attack

Israel has alleged that 12 members of the UN's Gaza aid group participated in Hamas' 7 October attack. The UK's decision comes after the US, Italy, Australia and Canada all also suspended additional funding for the UN aid agency.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said on Friday it sacked "several" employees over accusations by Israel that 12 employees were involved in the 7 October attack.



Meanwhile here in the UK, UN sponsored climate nonsense threatens our ability to generate electricity reliably as well as fostering all the racketeering, scams, stupidity and lies associated with it. All attributable to UN sponsorship of deranged Malthusian politics within the developed world.

Oh - and nobody is likely to be surprised if these allegations are substantiated, which the UNRWA sackings do tend to confirm already.

Yes, it would indeed be odd if UNWRA should sack staff just because Israel said so. Israel could have closed the whole operation down in the 1940s, if that were the case.

I also recall from the early days of the Israeli invasion of Gaza that the BBC - certainly on the Today programme - relied very heavily on UNWRA staff to inform the UK public and the world of the situation on the ground.

Sam - yes it would be very odd if UNWRA should sack staff just because Israel said so. I wonder if the people sacked were also BBC sources? Worth knowing.

I sense a developing theme. The Powers That Be have been building the digital Panopticon where 'the centre' can survey all the 'prisoners' arranged around them. They have, however, failed to ensure that the 'prisoners' cannot gaze back.

So it is increasingly difficult for TPTB to get away with illegality without having their tawdry schemes exposed. UNWRA being exposed as captured by their clients. Dubious lawfare against Trump to bring him down. The Conservatives inability or unwillingness to control immigration. The Post Office scandal (eventually). Donald Tusk's adventures in Poland. The illegality of the laws used against the truckers in Canada. The excessive zeal used to prosecute the January 6 Capital rioters. The direction of the COVID enquiry.

Years ago this stuff would have merited few comments. Now more and more is becoming clear.

DJ - yes it could be a developing theme and it does away with a need to see TPTB as much worse than they used to be. Worse plus more visible would look like much worse. More visible includes more global too, so the visibility is wider as well as more revealing.

Perhaps TPTB always were absurdly unscrupulous, but now we see more of it.

Asnoted the UN sackings imply some truth to the allegations, but doesn't that also imply that these UN workers should be charged with murder?

Ribro - that's a good point. Also abduction and probably a number of other serious crimes too.
