i don't expect everyone to have had the same upbringing as we did or to have a comprehensive understanding of the US's involvement in the destabilisation of our region down to the smallest details, but if you're honest to god shocked at biden's behavior and find his foreign policy to be a completely new development for you that you never could have predicted or even imagined, i'll just assume you've never listened to or cared about anyone from the global south ever in your entire life and you'll never convince me otherwise

The thing is... Israel admitted to this from the very beginning.
They said the confessions were obtained through 'interrogation' in the Shin Bet aka torture (Shin Bet is where they like to torture Palestinian prisoners for intel) so every country that cut funding to the UNRWA knew from the beginning that Israel was using false forced statements.
The famine in Gaza is partly due to this. Never forget that.
