was working with Hamas. Perhaps she struck you otherwise. The World Food Bank has been part of the UN since 1961 and is the largest world food program in the world providing assistance in 120 countries. I trust them to know who they are working with in Gaza.

If there is a messaging failure on RC’s part that’s something above my pay grade. But the idea that they are run by Hamas is just ridiculous and that’s what I’m responding to. If you think it’s an organization run by Hamas well have to agree to disagree. The idea is ridiculous to me that many organizations working in partnership with them are fooled but some posters on DU know the truth is also preposterous to me.

But not surprising given how people instinctively respond to things. It’s our nature and emotions run high.
