    You don’t have to prove with links that we did that. We were joined in it by a broad, multilateral coalition of partners.

    Those who saw the raw intelligence said it was irrefutable and the problem was significantly more widespread than the 13 people directly accused, all of whom the agency immediately fired upon also seeing the intelligence.

      This is ass backwards. UNRWA immediately fired the accused employees solely because they were worried about the potential ramifications and figured it wasn’t something worth fighting. They had and have seen zero actual evidence to back it up. Meanwhile, half the west stupidly took this as evidence that the allegations were true and pulled their future funding, while they too have seen zero actual evidence to back up Israel’s claims.

        The IDF came to Washington and showed Congress and the IC the texts, social media messages, and cell phone location data, which was described by people briefed as “highly credible” and “irrefutable.”

        Anthony Blinken’s State Department, Joe Biden’s admin, and the foreign affairs committee immediately pulled the money. If the evidence they saw could rationally be disregarded as “stupid,” which is your assessment, even though you yourself have not seen the evidence, you are suggesting what exactly, that the cell phone metadata, social media data, and text logs–which sufficed to put the US government into immediate action–were completely forged? You think the DNI and CIA Director got fooled as to the credibility of the intelligence, but not you, you know the truth? That sounds pretty insane.

        Occam’s Razor: largest employer in a tiny area, terrorist group is extremely popular in that area, some of the employees are accomplices and co-conspirators to that terrorist group?

      Half of the budget that was cut was from the USA alone, about 29% of their annual, only 9 nations withdrew funding total.
