I guess for me, as neither Israeli or Palestinian, the first clarification required is why the IDF is ‘interrogating’ UNRWA workers in Gaza, particularly in circumstances where the IDF is known to kill aid workers, be they UNRWA or unrelated international relief workers. Is this a quirk of language or something far more sinister, particularly when the interrogator is also being disguised.

Secondary to that, if UNRWA is subject to HAMAS interference, conducted by force, not cooperation, why is it that under the new law, UNRWA will not “operate any institution, provide any service, or conduct any activity, whether directly or indirectly,” in the sovereign territory of Israel. In effect, UNRWA’s activities in East Jerusalem will be terminated and the body’s powers will be transferred to Israel’s responsibility and control." To me the new law disrupts required aid, contrary to humanitarian law, rather than tackle claimed HAMAS actions of interference.

The third missing element is unrestricted independent transparency and verification, which as I understand it the IDF does not allow. Hence IDF claims can’t be regarded as creditable, but rather more likely propagandist, given the control the IDF exerts, including preventing external independent media access and the killing of independent journalists.

I appreciate the /s, the sad fact is that we don’t need AI to figure out a ‘solution’ for climate change, we already know how to do that, the issue is the lack of political will to curb emissions, which is not something AI can fix.

Both Hamas and Israel need to be held accountable for their respective atrocities, not a young and innocent child.

Not being American have I got this right, there is a bipartisan bill aimed at punishing South Africa for raising what the the International Court of Justice then subsequently found it plausible Israel has committed acts of genocide against Gaza?

If the US wants to advocate for adherence to a rules based order then it has to be willing to abide by it, otherwise why would others?

They already have, “ending sales in the occupied Palestinian territories of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem”.

Irrespective of what anyone thinks of Ben & Jerry’s position, pro peace is not antisemitic, particularly when consistently applied to a range of entities and mirrored in actions, rather than just words.

Masks are voluntary and rarely seen Down Under, contributing to the ongoing local Aussie Covid death toll, with ‘freedom’ being paid for via the lives of the vulnerable, who are given little to no consideration by the majority!
