U.N. agency fires 9 staffers after finding they may have been involved in Oct. 7 attack on Israel

The U.N. says it has fired nine staff members from its agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, after an internal investigation found they may have been involved in the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack against Israel.

The U.N, secretary-general’s office announced the move in a brief statement to journalists Monday. It did not elaborate on the UNRWA staffers’ likely role in the attack. It said the nine included seven staffers who were fired previously over the claims.

Pretty sure a lot of Lemmy users want everyone to memoryhole oct 7.

Both sides of this conflict has some skeletons in their closets.

It’s gone so far beyond retribution for that attack

Israel has also demonstrated at this point that this isn’t about Oct 7. This is about the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people. And to an extent they’re demonstrating why people may turn to Hamas in desperation

Israel could level all of Gaza and West bank if they wanted to like in less than a day. 40k(maybe more than half terrorist Hamas) dead in a year is such an annihilation. Damn they really made a dent in that 5.5million.

The people already support Hamas before any of this. That’s why Hamas governs them, they got the majority vote in their election. Make it up as you go why they “may turn to Hamas in desperation” they turned to Hamas before there was ever a war.

Both can be bad. No amount of violence on the part of Israel will absolve Hamas of theirs.

Quill7513 ,

Let’s ignore this war started in 1948 and Hamas was founded in 1987, I guess. So we’re clear, this isn’t an endorsement of Hamas, but I’m just saying… There’s 40 years of context that precedes the existence of Hamas, and maybe in those 40 years Palestinian became less and less faithful that anyone could help them but the violent weirdos. If you want to deescalate tensions in the middle east, ceasing genocide is a good first step

ech ,

100%. Not suggesting anything be ignored, just that Hamas should be held accountable for their actions just as Israel should. The level of those actions may not be equal, but they also don’t cancel each other out.

What in the fuck are you talking about lmfao. Palestine-Arabs launched that war in 1948. They launched a brutal attack involving 8 of their Arab countries because they did not want a two state solution.

So you know what. There is also 40 years(75years) of context that Israel became less and less faithful in a peaceful solution.

Even that attack was just a continuation of a bloodfeud spanning thousands and thousands of years.

Did you just “both sides” a genocide?

Twinklebreeze ,

Both genosides.

StaticFalconar ,

One of the few times that it actually is true when you go back far enough. This didnt start last year. It just continued.

rockSlayer ,

The sides cease to matter when one side has been committing genocide.
