Some Zionist start putting up tents at the UN, like "aw shit, here we go again"

It’s far more complex than that, but go ahead and shout it down all the same

Not at all suspicious that this comes out shortly after Israel is ordered to 'stop all genocidal activity'

Very disappointing as we haven't stopped supporting Israel despite all the war crimes being committed, yet conveniently jump on the bandwagon the same day as Canada to stop doing this.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Australia will temporarily pause its funding of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) while an investigation is under way into several employees accused of taking part in Hamas’s 7 October attacks in Israel, the foreign minister has announced.

Penny Wong on Saturday said Australia will join its likeminded partners in the US and Canada in pausing the funding.

Israeli officials, including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, have accused the agency of complicity with Hamas and fuelling anti-Israeli sentiments.

The Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy accused UNRWA of announcing the news while the world’s attention was focused on the international court of justice ordering Israel to prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians and do more to help civilians in Gaza.

“Any other day, this would have been a major headline: Israel submits evidence of UN employees’ complicity with Hamas,” Levy wrote on X.

More than 26,000 people have been killed in Gaza – two-third of them women and children – since Israel’s military response to Hamas’s 7 October attack commenced, Palestinian authorities report.
