Fact check your claim that:

To take the guesswork out of your claim, I’m assuming the ‘who’ is Israel (?) & the told not to is “Americans or British” (?) & the reactors are probably “in Iran”? Is that what you’re claiming?

Food aid to Gaza dropped to roughly a quarter of 2024's monthly average in October, with similar declines across most categories except fuel ■ Israeli officials attribute the drop to reduced international deliveries rather than restrictions

It was in a high school gymnasium in Missouri that Winston Churchill first warned of an “iron curtain” descending across Europe. If peace were to prevail, he said, the Western alliance must be strong and the newly-founded United Nations must be “a force for action and not merely a frothing of words.”

Sitting in a well-appointed hotel ballroom in Halifax last weekend, chess grandmaster and Russian dissident Garry Kasparov quoted Churchill's prescient warning. Russia has prosecuted a nearly three-year-long war against its neighbour, he said, and the U.N. has only frothed words. “So,” Kasparov said. “Forget the United Nations.”

It was then that Canada’s foreign minister, Mélanie Joly, interrupted. “We must never forget the United Nations,” she said. I cringed. “We need the United Nations,” Joly insisted.

An incredulous Kasparov replied: “To do what?”

Heh-heh. Set up a powerless talking shop, and then piss and moan about shutting it down because it's a powerless talking shop.

How quickly do you expect the UN to grow into a superstate that has the power to overrule the actions of legitimately-elected national governments?

There hasn't been a good old fashioned Palestinian hi-jacking in years. Maybe it's time?
Well, it’s not airliners being hijacked, and in this case, it might not even be UNRWA facilities, being hijacked…just an alignment of views?

😳With the first three Israeli hostages freed in the cease-fire for hostages deal, Fox News Digital has exclusively learned that several terrorists captured by Israeli forces last month confessed that Israeli captives were held at different times at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) recently completed a major raid on the hospital, arresting some 240 terrorists. The director of the hospital, Hussam Abu Safiya, the Israelis claim, had gathered intelligence showing that he not only allowed Hamas to infiltrate the hospital, but actively collaborated with the terror group.
Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former Trump National Security Council official, claimed, "Several international organizations operating in Gaza likely had direct knowledge of Hamas using hospitals as terror headquarters and only publicly protested Israel’s attempt to clear the terrorists. The Red Cross, UNRWA, World Health Organization - they were all collaborators." Oh well.

Implementation of a ban on the U.N. Palestinian relief agency UNRWA in Israel - due to start on Thursday - will be disastrous, the UNRWA chief told the Security Council on Tuesday, as the United States accused it of being "irresponsible and dangerous."
1738118623111.jpeg
The law, adopted in October, bans UNRWA's operation on Israeli land - including East Jerusalem, which Israel annexed in a move not recognized internationally - and contact with Israeli authorities from Jan. 30.
"UNRWA must cease its operations and evacuate all premises it operates in Jerusalem, including the properties located in Maalot Dafna and Kafr Aqab," Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon told the council.

"Israel will terminate all collaboration, communication and contact with UNRWA or anyone acting on its behalf," he said.
The United States, under new President Donald Trump, supports Israel's "sovereign right" to close UNRWA's offices in Jerusalem, acting U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Dorothy Shea told the Security Council. Under Trump predecessor Joe Biden, the United States had urged Israel to pause implementation of the law.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council have described UNRWA as the backbone of the humanitarian aid response in Gaza, which has been decimated by 15 months of war between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas.
"UNRWA exaggerating the effects of the laws and suggesting that they will force the entire humanitarian response to halt is irresponsible and dangerous," Shea said.

"What is needed is a nuanced discussion about how we can ensure that there is no interruption in the delivery of humanitarian aid and essential services," she said.

"UNRWA is not and never has been the only option for providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza," she said.
Other agencies working in Gaza and the West Bank include the children's organization UNICEF, the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization and the U.N. Development Programme.

Israel claims that Hamas has used UNRWA sites, including schools, clinics and depots in Gaza, to hold hostages.

"Unfortunately, this follows a pattern of serious allegations on the misuse of UN facilities — particularly UNRWA facilities — by Hamas terrorists," said Shea. "It is vital for a full and independent investigation to assess these very serious allegations."

I wonder how many Palestinians and Lebanese innocents the Islamic zealots will sacrifice for the River to the Sea nonsense.

The way I see it, it's like Ted Bundy blaming Washington, Utah, Colorado, and Florida for all the women he killed for putting all those pretty coeds out there in the first place. It was a bikini occupation, I tell you! I didn't see anyone propping up Bundy.
Except for the groupies.

UNRWA should be scrapped; they're untrustworthy and invested in terrorism.

This river to the sea rhetoric?

In the context of the Bible, particularly the Book of Daniel, the "territory of Israel" reaching to the Euphrates River refers to a concept known as "Greater Israel," which according to some interpretations of scripture, would encompass a vast area stretching from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in modern-day Iraq and Syria, significantly larger than the modern state of Israel; this idea is often associated with biblical prophecies about the restoration of the Jewish people to a large landmass.

When the Israelites first enter the Promised Land after their journey out of Egypt Moses instructed them in Deuteronomy 1:7 to go and possess the land that extended “unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates”. Israel were intended to have the land that extended up to the river Euphrates in accordance with the promise made to Abram. This promise was reiterated a number of other times. “Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be” (Deuteronomy 11:24). It is important to look at the context of Deuteronomy 11, it is a chapter that contains blessings and cursings. There is a condition given in Deut 11:22 that precedes the promise of v24: “IF ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; THEN will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you”. This idea ties in with what happened to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. There is a requirement of Yahweh’s people to keep His commandments in order to gain the blessings from Him. After the death of Moses Yahweh reiterates the same words of Deut 11:24 to Joshua in Josh 1:4 that Israel was to possess the land “even unto the great river, the river Euphrates”. Joshua is told to be strong and very courageous to observe to do all the Law that Moses commanded for it is only “THEN thou shalt have good success” (Josh 1:7-8).

Good on Israel. The UNRWA is corrupt!

On the 29th November, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish State in Eretz-Israel; the General Assembly required the inhabitants of Eretz-Israel to take such steps as were necessary on their part for the implementation of that resolution.
