Under Israeli law, UNRWA is about to be declared a terrorist organisation
'When you're in a hole, keep digging', seems to be the mantra of these Zionist nutcases.
Last week the Knesset, gave preliminary approval to a bill declaring the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) a “terrorist organisation”. Should it become Israeli law, the terrorist designation would give a domestic legal cover (albeit in violation of international law) for the Israeli regime to attack UNRWA’s staff and infrastructure, as it has already done by murdering close to 200 personnel, but this time without having to seek to justify itself or claim the slaughter of UNRWA’s staffers were “tragic mistakes” whenever it faces criticisms from its allies.
If it officially declares UNRWA a “terrorist organisation” under its domestic law, for Israel, eliminating the 30,000 staff of UNRWA including, presumably, its head Philippe Lazzarini, would become not only “a right, but indeed a duty”, to paraphrase US Secretary of State Antony Blinken who repeated ad nauseam since October 7 what the ICJ deems illegal, namely the use of force to defend an illegal occupation. It is against this prospect that the UN ought to react, forcefully, to this latest Israeli provocation before the wanton slaughtering en masse of UNRWA staff starts.
Thus, if this law is enacted, serious consideration ought to be given to taking measures against the rogue Israeli regime in accordance with Article 6 of the UN Charter which provides that “a Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council”.
Is Netanyahoo prepared to risk expulsion from the UN as the war in Gaza rumbles on and Hezbollah is poised in Southern Lebanon?
