UN Chief 'Condemns' While Israel Cuts UNRWA Water
The New Arab reports UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has 'condemned' Israel's new law blocking electricity and water to UNRWA facilities. (One might call this 'collective punishment,' but let's stick to UN-approved euphemisms.) This isn't just about 'facilities'; it's about denying basic services to millions of displaced Palestinians who rely on UNRWA for survival, often due to policies and
actions of the very state now cutting off their utilities. Historically, Israel has long sought to dismantle UNRWA, citing allegations of Hamas ties – claims often repeated by U.S. politicians whose campaigns are generously funded by groups like AIPAC. For example, in 2023 alone, AIPAC contributed millions to congressional races. These funds smooth the path for policies that greenlight such
actions, making grand statements from international bodies ring hollow. How many UN condemnations does it take for a policy of deprivation to stop looking like a 'security measure' and start looking like a war crime?
