Government sources tell CBC that Israel still has not shared evidence with Canada to substantiate its claim that 12 employees of UNRWA were involved in some capacity in the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and the affiliated group Islamic Jihad.

Britain’s Channel Four News earlier this week obtained a copy of a dossier that the government of Israel shared with the U.K. government, which also cut funding to UNRWA.

Channel Four reported that the dossier was only six pages long. The news service said it rehashes long-standing Israeli government complaints about UNRWA and alleges the involvement of UNRWA staff in the Oct 7 attack, but “provides no evidence” to back up Israel’s explosive allegations against the agency.

Britain’s Sky News also reviewed the dossier and reached a similar conclusion:

Israel has refused to provide the intelligence it says backs up its allegations, either to UNRWA or to the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), the UN body assigned to investigate.

      i once wrote a massive essay for r/daystrominstitute about how Damar was the ultimate anti-hero of DS9 that had to be 15,000+ words. it got post of the week!

      i’m certain it was more well thought-out and detailed that this cockamamie dossier

        Absolutely agree about Damar. Amazing character arc only generally overlooked because of how good almost every character is in DS9. Would 100% read.

          he had a really satisfying character arc. i liked that he really grew as a character in meaningful ways, but it’s too bad his character never got the time to be explored more.

          edit: i was also surprised how good a job casey biggs did once he was given the chance. he went from a minor, nobody charachter to really stealing the show whenever he got the chance. and he and Jeffrey Comb’s Weyoun had a great back-and-forth, too.

    Well at least Britain and us are attempting to have accountability for aiding literal genocide. Too bad nothing will come of it as long as the US is helping, and they show no signs of slowing down that I’ve seen.

      British media (and those 1 million Protestors in London) are putting in work, but leaders like Sunak and Trudeau and Biden don’t look like they’re going to budge.

      The baseless accusations against UNRWA have started to run it’s course, so it’s likely we’re going to get another fresh new batch of Zionist lies soon.
