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.
Is arguing “they’re not malicious in their enthusiastic use of bombs, merely incompetent” not worse? It implies they don’t know how to do better, and thus are a very reckless uncontrolled threat, compared to just one that chooses to be evil.
It probably is worse. And consider this: they have nukes in their stockpile and are running out of regular bombs.
