   Yesterday the ICJ directed Israel not to commit genocide & collective punishment.

   So, the new US scheme to collectively punish #Gazans is: withdraw all #UNWRA funds & starve Palestinian toddlers to death, while you launch a sham investigation on if <0.00001%* of humanitarian donations are used by baddies, while REFUSING to obey US laws requiring you to investigate whether the hundreds of millions of dollars in weaponry you are giving #Netanyahu are being used to commit his war crimes/genocide.

     This is such plain, petty, open & obvious retribution for the #ICJ daring to hold Netanyahu & his right wing Kahanist coalition to any kind of accountability at all for the nearly 30,000 Palestinians they have killed in #Gaza, the #WestBank, and #Israel itself, in 2023.

     "The Biden administration’s announcement comes on the same day that the UN’s top court ordered Israel to prevent genocidal acts Gaza & a U.S. court began hearing a lawsuit accusing Israel of genocide"

     Just a reminder that the Israeli government murdered ***142 employees*** of #UNWRA from October to December of 2023.

     My point is that in the first case, denying aid funds during your "investigation" kills starving babies, children, & families in Gaza - NOW. And in the second case, *refusing* to do an investigation of the use of the weaponry we're paying for, against Palestinians, kills babies, children & families in Gaza - NOW.

     There's a common purpose betrayed by these 2 very different, very hypocritical approaches. Call WH/reps.

     And donate directly to #UNWRA to help Gazans, here: https://donate.unrwa.org/gaza/~my-donation

     Do Biden's & Harris' ghoulish advisors driving an ongoing foreign policy bus crash, really think they are fooling anyone with these spiteful maneuvers?

     *P.S. I am making these numbers up. It's probably much less at issue on #UNWRA funds, and I will correct if someone else has time and does the real research/math.

     UNRWA serves 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. The State Department decision is intended to [extend the intentional starvation of] all of them.

     “The US chose to stop funds to UNRWA only an hour after the ICJ decision,” tweeted USCPR Organizing & Advocacy Director Iman Abid. “Israel kills over 33,000 Palestinians & the US still continues to negotiate an increase in funding to Israel. I don’t know what more you need to know about this administration.”
