UN has discredited itself - in that several ( 9? ) of their workers ( UNRWA ) involved in Oct 7th killing of innocent civilians, and at least one UNRWA staffer, held hostage(s) in their apartment!

I wish it would demand a cessation of the killing of innocents. I wish it could actually do something to stop the Horror that is being inflicted on Gaza rn. This has been going on far too long.

    I think the only thing Hamas succeeded in doing is to expose Israel's evil acts to the world for a little while, until the west says "..., anyway" and goes back to being best buddies with Israel, singing and chanting how righteous they are.

    So far the only thing that's close to a sanction from the EU is Norway divesting from some Israeli companies[0] and the EU _proposing_ (!) to suspend Israel from a research program[1].

    That will show 'em!

        What most people don't know is that Hamas has been funded by multiple Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas

          Israeli intelligence officials believe that the money had a role in the success of 2023 Hamas-led attack.

        "just protecting their territory" does not necessitate the mass murder of civilian populace (yes, this includes Israel and all violent religious extremists who think this is acceptable), and HN is not the place to spread conspiracy theories about either 9/11 or a paramilitary invasion which recently killed over 1000 people.
