The Executive Director UNRWA USA describes how important UNWRA has been in Gaza for decades, and how Israel's targeted destruction of UNWRA infrastructure is an attack on all civilian life in Gaza.
“Everyone who disagrees with this is an antisemite.”
“All antisemites are terrorists.”
“We have nuclear weapons”
For many years , blinded and shorn, the Samson of Zionism was at bay. Now, the power of nuclear weapons has put these psychopathic Samsons in control. So now, all anti Zionists are philistines, and Samson is prepared to bring down the Temple. Can anyone suggest a nonviolent resolution to that?
If Netanyahu claims that everyone in Gaza is Hamas, it is an absurd statement and used to justify his genocide in Gaza which of course includes children, and a population, half of whom were too young to have voted for Hamas. I guess his statement makes it easier to put a bullet through the heads of children, starve them, make them homeless and turn them into orphans. Netanyahu is the one who supported Hamas for years which never seems to be spoken of anymore. He also repeated lies about those killed on October 7, which have been proven to be false.
It was hyperbole to make a point. Of course you’re right on all counts. The interview with the aid worker exposed many of their lies, but too few people understand that they are lies.
Oh, I know you were stating the lies he spews, and I just used his lie that everyone in Gaza is Hamas. Netanyahu is also a very obvious liar, but gets aways with it since too many Americans and Europeans are tuned into the propaganda. The US is a disgrace in supplying Israel with weapons and political support. Sickening! It's disorienting to hear Trump and his gang and other politicians speak of the good they are doing here and there when they are also assisting a genocide, that is killing children, starving people, rounding people up like cattle. It's like a serial killer going out to help the needy in their spare time and wanting applause.
Thank you Mara and Chris for once again exposing the moral vacuity of the Israelis and those that support them.
Can anyone in the western world today still claim, with conviction, not to know what is happening in Palestine? That on a conspectus of video and real evidence, witness statements, the sheer volume of which is mind numbing and obviously inculpatory, the fabricated lies of the Israelis are plausible or even, reasonably possibly true? These Israeli cheerleaders are disingenuous at best and, I believe, feigning incertitude to provide themselves with an escape mechanism should they be held to account at some stage. The worst of the worst type of human being.
In South Africa, as in many other countries, we have people, a small percentage though, that make it their life mission to institute frivolous litigation against others. These people literally do not know when to stop. The Vexatious Proceedings Act (3/1956) seeks to prevent such persistent, frivolous and unmeritorious litigation. Generally, judges have the power to make cost orders against such vexatious litigants in an effort to appeal to their sensibilities. There is also an ongoing debate whether more profound penalties should be imposed on bad faith litigants, for instance: punitive damages, more severe cost orders and declaring someone a vexatious litigant for future actions in which event such a person has to acquire the approval of the court to proceed. I am sure that similar provisions are applicable in the United States and is positive that the unmeritorious litigation instituted by the Jewish Israeli lobby groups, is far more complex than a mere mention in your discussion. Litigating against such powerful people, that has endless resources and funds, is, one can imagine, the most intimidating and dismaying experiences possible.
I wish you well, Mara, in your fight for justice against these diabolical criminals.
Another excellent interview by Chris Hedges with Mara Kronenfeld explaining the many facets of the work that UNRWA is doing to support the lives of the Palestinians and why Israel banned and destroyed its ability to continue its humanitarian work, another example of Israel’s cruelty and genocidal behavior.
GHF which took over the distribution of food, controlled by Israel, is a complete failure and supports the crimes against human committed by Israel.
you argue a lot about historic reasons and you argue that "one of the oldest cities on earth" and "museums" were destroyed.
But you historic view is biased and forgetful.
You do not seem to realize, that the jews were vicitms to a game-show like delusion of slavery in the 20th century and had a good reason to claim Israel finally.
550.000 palestinians had to make room for that enterprise and 350.000 jews who lived there and 350.000 jews directly from the holocaust founded Israel.
In the West Bank some 1.000 houses are destroyed annually the last years. But the israel constitutional court ruled, that private properties cannot be demolished.
There are altogether 20.000.000 people in the area. 12.000.000 are Israel, 2 million Gaza-Strip and six million maybe in the West Bank. I will input that to the chatbot quick.
Israel's population is closer to 9.8 million as of 2025.
Gaza Strip has about 2.3 million people.
West Bank is home to around 3 million, not six.
The total population of Palestinian territories (Gaza + West Bank) is about 5.6 million.
Anyway. Why not become friends again, with all those gays, those jazzers, today also those scientists and some of them are at the military and try to free 200 hostages.
We could make up an imaginary alternative military plan for Israel, with which the 1.200 victims of octobre 7th 2023 are confronted correctly, when 3.000 hooligan-like fighters from the Gaza-Strip entered Israel to kill innocent people. What about destroying the Hamas Infrastructure and try to get rid of a U.N. organization that praises the "great march of return" with blog entries giving it an anniversairy.
You will say, that was a march of peace, artists and musicians wanted to protest against the living standards in Palestine. But the living standards were ok. You say there were Schools. Universities. Civil administration. Courts. Police precincts. Hospitals. Water treatment plants. Museums.
Then why is it so hard to understand that the Gaza-strip has to be freed, nothing else is what Netanyahu says to do.
Thank you, Mara and the USA UNRWA team. And thank you, Chris, for the program and making sure we know how to donate.
