Just saw this advertisement on a Forbes article.

Someone is paying to equate UN Relief and Works Agency workers as HAMAS terrorists. I guess that explains why Israel is so comfortable bombing aide workers.

I’m surprised the Israel lobby (if that’s who sponsored this) thinks it’s worthwhile to sink this low… and that Forbes is allowing it on their news website

What a world…

Forbes vets its own ads. Many people there had to think this was a good thing.

It’s not a random ad from another company

If you understood the media this wouldn’t surprise you. I try to point people toward real media literacy.

My friend, I said I was surprised at the tactics not at the goal.

I’m tuned in to the situation, but appreciate the links

Wasn't Forbes also the one who made a recent article about dealing with crappy wages and inflation by skipping breakfast/lunch to cut costs?

Or maybe that was Bloomberg

If you're surprised by fascism coming from capitalist ideologues, then I have bad news for you...

Yeah why not let the UNHCR handle it? Why does there have to be a special, specific UN body handling Gaza rather than the usual refugee support body?

Not sure why your getting downvoted, this is a pretty legit question.
