UN employees were members of Hamas in Gaza. former9thward Oct 2024 #11

Israel claims and wont provide evidence that they were members. Eko Oct 2024 #28

The UN has admitted it. former9thward Oct 2024 #45

"may have been involved" ... is admitted it and a relative few isn't a justification for murder. Our allies uponit7771 Oct 2024 #52
