Belgian officials expressed outrage Thursday after Israeli forces reportedly bombed the office building of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in the Gaza Strip, an attack that came after Belgium declined to join the U.S. and more than a dozen other countries in cutting off funding to the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency.

The timing of the attack on the Belgian office building raised eyebrows, with observers pointing to the nation’s status as one of the handful of Western countries not suspending aid to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in response to Israel’s allegation that a dozen of the agency’s employees took part in the October 7 attacks.

    Bombing a building belonging to the government of a member of NATO and the EU? If literally any other Middle East country had done that, they would be invaded and bombed back to the stone age by every ally, led by the US.

    Not the Israeli apartheid government, though. They get to do whatever the fuck they want to whomever the fuck they want with no repercussions because AIPAC and groups like them are bribing the majority of American politicians and the US government forces the rest of the world to do whatever the fuck THEY want! 🤬🤬🤬
