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.
Belgium decided to continue funding UNRWA on 31 January. It seems israel bombed Belguim’s building in Gaza overnight/the morning after.
These types of spiteful bullying acts for petty reasons perfectly represent israel’s policy over the years.
That’s 100% terrorism
The US did the same thing during the whole “Freedom Fries” BS.
We were running a bombing run on Iraq, France denied us use of their airspace so we flew ALL THE WAY around France, ran the attack and “accidentally” bombed the French embassy in Iraq.
Oopsie.
Joke at the time was “Maybe our pilots would have had better aim if they had had a little more sleep!”
The U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy in Serbia during the Kosovo War. I’m not sure if there was a direct reason but I remember there being a spy thing. Like a Chinese spy accessed some sensitive documents or something like that.

This should show anybody that Belgium did the right thing. The ICJ ordered Israel to provide humanitarian aid, instead on the same day they use threats, bribes, corruption to get multiple countries to cut off humanitarian aid! This is further evidence of genocidal intent!
And then they carry out a clear act of terrorism against those who do not make themselves complicit in their genocide!
They bombed the power stations, water supply, hospitals, 70% of all housing. If Israel is allowed to continue hundreds of thousands are going to starve or die of thirst or diseases. Or infections because on top of the 30.000+ there are many times more wounded.
What an absolute horror… they have taken 30 eyes for each eye, 30 teeth for each tooth, plus an extra 1500 children’s legs.
Israel is a terrorist state. The guys who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin are literally running their government. Their slow rolling subjugation of Palestinians is now a blatant genocide.
For Israel, that’s just a Tuesday.
They’re doing a whole lot of fucking around for a surprisingly low amount of finding out. This ratio has to be unsustainable.

lemmy.world has had to beef up auto removal tools due to some jack-wagon posting child pornography. That’s the kind of garbage YOU don’t want to see and the mod team shouldn’t HAVE to see.
I think this post was caught in the crossfire.
Your efforts to keep it all above board are appreciated, truly.

Thanks mods!! ❤️
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! 🤬🤬🤬
That sounds like an act of war…
Should this be considered an act of war?
Why shouldn’t it?
Was there a possibility to hurt a Belgian official? No. Did they specifically try to hit the Belgian office? Probably also not. Unless we get some crazy leaks I don’t think this should or will have any consequences whatsoever.
let me guess, Israel gets a pass, again?
They get three more whoopsies and then they’ll have to start cashing in their oopsie-daisies.
The EU needs to section them already.
How the fuck is there not a political officer in the air strikes room.
Wait……

fun thing about the whole “UNRWA sponsors Hamas” thing, Israel has failed to provide any evidence of the claim but pro-genocide governments all around the world sentenced a lot of innocent people to death based on the claim anyway.
Remember when Israel said Hamas was beheading babies? The president of the United States signal boosted that claim, then his office had to walk it back when it turned out to be false.
“Israel refuses to share either its evidence or the intelligence dossier”
Just like beheaded babies, this is some trumped up bullshit. it’s just that israel also seems ready to murder anyone who doesn’t fall for it.
Do we not fuck them up yet?
For real, Israel is a nation surrounded by hornets nests and they’re still making enemies hundreds of miles away.
