• Will Our Government Restore UNRWA Funding Too?

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 9 03:44:08 2024
    No big surprise that Israel has not followed through with substantive
    backing for those dubious claims that UNRWA staff were involved in the
    Hamas attacks on October 7, so Canada is now going to restore the
    funding it had previously suspended to that organization <https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/8/canada-lifting-freeze-on-unrwa-funding-after-weeks-of-protests-criticism>.

    Will our Government follow suit? I’m sure there will be pressure to
    try to avoid leaving the US (and likely the UK as well) looking
    isolated and out of step; can we resist it?

    Dubious??? They are well documented with individuals identified.

    What did you say about "obsession"? You are obsessed with giving
    support to terrorists who want you dead. This must qualify as mental
    illness, although, come to think of it, leftism is categorised by
    many as a form of mental illness.

    Where is this “documentation”? No independent organization has seen it.

    Also Sweden, the EU and now even Australia.

    Yet another attempt at dissembling and deflection by Netanyahu’s
    Government is falling apart.

    I'm starting to think he's from Iran, as was another poster 20 years
    ago, "grumpyoldhori". The real Lawrence D'Oliveiro should be alerted
    that someone's spoofing his name.

    No, I don't think so. It has been a couple of years since James
    Christophers posted; his commonsense was similar to that of Lawrence,
    but he also displayed a good knowledge of the history and stupidity
    from some other posters - his quiet reminders to Tonyunk of what Tony
    had actually said often resulted in a shorter thread.

    I suspect the NZ Government is trying to keep the tragedy of the
    Israel / Hamas / Gaza conflict out of the news - they cannot afford to
    do what is right internationally as they need every dollar to try and
    persuade their sponsors that they will deliver a cut to the top tax
    rate . . .even if later than promised before the election.

    Defamatory garbage - you are a liar.

    You might be correct - the posts are becoming increasingly nonsensical and the English is very interesting indeed.

    Don't be too hard on yourself, Tony - this was your fourth post in a
    row, you have done fairly well today all considered; I agree with your statement that Mutley and Willy Nilly were getting a bit nonsensical.

    Alas, poor Tony. Self-awareness not a strong point for him . . .
