Ironically, until the 7 October attacks the relationship between Unrwa and Israel was one of necessary respect since, at one level, the agency carried out the relief work that an occupying power itself should do. As such it took a burden off Israel.

The most mild way of saying that Israel's apartheid against Palestinians is real...

Yes - the genocide is going strong and no one's batting an eye. I'm even starting to avoid conversation with friends about. I never felt so unsafe amongst friends. I'm in Germany and globally no one talks about it, but also Germany is sending lots, lots of weapons to Israel and it doesn't even try to persuade Netanjahu to drop anything...

Everyday i wake up and think i'm in the wrong reality.

US aint much... Esp in more rurall parts where radio is blasting propaganda glorifying the genocide.

It is too late to stop it, better question is how this was allowed to happen again...

Thats an uncomfortable discussion
