Israel Bans UNRWA. (www.aljazeera.com)

I legit don’t understand how they can block a UN agency? Like, what? Is that legal - I know they’re killing UN peacekeepers which should also be illegal but this seems a step even beyond that. Can countries just ban UN agencies from working there?

However this all concludes whether it be: the worst case, best case, or mixed case scenario I honestly have to wonder out loud how anyone is expected to take phrases like "rules base international order" and "human rights" seriously ever again going forward?

Like I'm not naive and I know it was always bullshit and the rules have always been whatever we say they are but like...is this really gonna just be a case where everything is memory holled and everyone just tried to act like it wasn't all exposed as a fucking sham for everyone to see?

I'm struggling to be cynical enough to believe it will play out like that...so I worry I am naive.

It really depends on how much of the world is paying attention. They did this shit all throughout the Cold War and the global south still worshipped them. Maybe things might be different this time around with social media really highlighting everything wrong.
