News and Press Release in English on occupied Palestinian territory about Safety and Security; published on 28 Oct 2024 by Govt. Ireland, Govt. Norway and 3count other organizations

The Governments of Ireland, Norway, Slovenia and Spain condemn the approval by the Knesset [the Israeli parliament] of legislation to prevent UN Relief Agency (UNRWA) from operating in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

UNRWA has a mandate from the United Nations General Assembly. The work of the Agency is essential and irreplaceable for millions of Palestinian refugees in the region, and particularly in the current context in Gaza. The legislation approved by the Knesset sets a very serious precedent for the work of the United Nations and for all organizations of the multilateral system.

    Yes exactly. That’s bombing Israel’s regional enemies.

    In other words you support the Houthis attacking ships in the Red Sea. Since you are against shooting down missiles launched to attack those ships.

    And then they’ve been bombing Iranian targets in Iraq and Syria, among others, since forever. Now I don’t support Iran in general and believe they should get the fuck out of the Arab world, but America definitely supports Israel against its regional enemies.

    We are talking about Spain, Norway, Ireland and Slovenia here and none of them have activly bombed in Syria or Iraq. Slovenia gave a bit of aid to the US, when they attacked ISIS.

    I haven’t heard of the Houthis committing genocide so I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

    I have not said they commit genocide, they just call for it and clearly have no problem with killing a lot of people.

      I mean yes exactly. I do think they should be more transparent and consistent about who they target, but I do agree with the principle. They’re hitting Israel where it hurts and it’s working.

      We are talking about Spain, Norway, Ireland and Slovenia here and none of them have activly bombed in Syria or Iraq.

      Okay that’s my bad. In my mind the conversation had shifted to Europe in general. Nevermind I don’t have issue with any of these countries regarding Palestine.
