    The most fucked up part about this is that many countries – the US included – cut funding for UNRWA after this bullshit, and apparently even the UNRWA itself just took the accusations at face value and fired some of the accused

      I mean, even if it did have the 12 accused employees that were members of Hamas, I don’t see how that is a reason to defund the agency. UNRWA has thousands of employees. It sounds like an isolated thing?

      I can guarantee you that there are more than 12 actual Nazis and members of the KKK in US police forces and its military, but it’s not like the whole organization gets defunded.

    The US knew it was BS all along. Just like the 40 dead babies claim. Now comes the quiet “maybe we were too hasty” backtrack now that the damage has been done and the kids are dying at appropriate numbers for the ghouls in the whitehouse and their clients in the Knesset

    “Casts doubt” in the title. Credible in the report from the CIA.

      “credible reports” (but low confidence) of some employees of UNRWA participating in the attack. No evidence at all that UNRWA had partnered with Hamas or supported the attacks.

      What that means is “somebody said that some people that work for UNRWA also participated in the attacks but we have found no proof either way.”

        They’re credible because the CIA has no evidence to refute it and Israeli’s equivalents didn’t share the raw intelligence with them. Turns out spying on Hamas isn’t something the US does a lot of. If they had evidence to refute it they’d call the reports conflicting or something similar.
