  • “Well, that’s exactly right. And there have been allegations made by the Netanyahu government that up to 14 of those 13,000 people were involved in the horrific Oct. 7 attacks,” he said. “We should investigate it, we should hold all those people accountable. But … let’s not hold 2 million innocent Palestinian civilians who are dying of starvation, let’s not hold them, essentially, accountable for the bad acts of 14 people.”

    And this is it. Every leader who immediately cut funds is more than happy to pull a Netanyahu and punish the lives of many for the acts of a few (if there is even a hint of this being true, which considering where it comes from and the provided proof, is highly doubtful). Investigate and deal with anyone who did take part in October 7, but don’t punish everyone. A long time ago we all agreed that counts as a war crime.

    It clearly shows Palestinian lives are not worth the same as other lives. Why else cut all the funding to 2M+ people over the alleged acts of 0.05% of the employees of UNRWA.

    I looked up the article (here in case anyone else wants to read it), although I would not give them more clicks honestly.

    It’s absolutely despicable. They updated the headline. But nowhere in the article do they mention what’s what.

    In a video shared widely on social media and reviewed by CTV News Toronto, a man holding what appears to be a nail gun can be seen grabbing a person wearing a keffiyeh.

    No mention who the attacker is (Zionist) nor the victim(s), just “wearing a keffiyeh” as if the general public knows what this (either a Palestinian or pro-Palestine protester).

    This is no coincidence and has got to be the worst piece of “journalism” I have seen since Oct 7.

    Edit: they updated the article again, making it marginally better, but the bar is on the floor here…
