Israeli strikes kill UN staff, more than 70 of his extended family in Gaza - eviltoast

Issam Al Mughrabi, 56, who worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for three decades was killed along with his wife and children in an Israeli air strike on Friday.

“For almost 30 years, Issam has worked with UNDP through our Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People,” UNDP administrator Achim Steiner said in a statement.

“The loss of Issam and his family has deeply affected us all. The UN and civilians in Gaza are not a target.”

Offering his condolences to Issam’s family and colleagues the World Health Organization’s chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed in a post on X that “humanitarians should never be victims” and called for a ceasefire.

    I wonder what Hitler would have to say about Israel, if he could see it now? He’d probably tell them they’re doing it wrong, as if there’s a right way to genocide.

      Hitler would be happy about a Jewish Ethnostate to segregate them to, in general, but yeah there’s no telling how he would react to their actions unless he could somehow grift something from the whole situation.
