    Western countries are currently withholding funding to UNRWA (which provides aid to Gaza, where 80% of the hungriest people in the world are right now) because some of its staff are accused by an unnamed party of helping Hamas. The tiny number of Palestinian refugees allowed into Canada as compared to Ukrainian refugees, and the bizarre and life-threatening requirements (such as submitting all their social media usernames to the IDF for unknown reasons) worry me.

    We should have grave concerns about where things are going right now, considering how quick our governments have been to cut off funds for victims of a genocide while being so slow to cut off military and other aid to the perpetrator targeting them.
