Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians since October 2023 with bombings, shootings, and deliberate starvation. Additionally, the IDF has killed 234 aid workers and 95 journalists. This is the highest number of killings of aid workers and journalists ever recorded by a single country since global tracking began. One organization that is deliberately targeted by Israel is UNRWA, a UN agency established in 1949, which provides life-saving supplies and health care services to Palestinians in Gaza. 

In the last 6 months, the IDF has killed more than 165 UNRWA workers and bombed at least 150 UNRWA facilities. Israel also falsely accused the relief organization’s employees of terrorism, which caused at least 10 Western countries to immediately suspend their funding. Israel has never provided proof of its terror claims, and a massive international investigation concluded on April 22 there is no evidence of ties between UNRWA workers and terrorism

Despite overwhelming proof that Israel lied about UNRWA to decimate international funding and ensure its genocide of Palestinians destroys as many lives as possible, the United States still has not resumed funding.

Please consider giving to UNRWA to fight this devastating genocide, especially when our government will not.

Stories at Blurred Bylines

I started Blurred Bylines in late 2016 because I needed a space to write about the issues I felt were important during that election year. And while this organization has expanded to offer SEO services for businesses and nonprofits, the real heart of BB is found in these stories. 

You’ll notice there are no 3rd-party advertising sources or reading restrictions of any kind, such as a paywall, on these articles. The goals of the stories you read here are to be well-sourced, accurate pieces of information designed to outrank lower-quality sources that may feature misleading or even outright misinformation. My intention is to offer empathy and historical context to these topics in an online ecosystem that rarely rewards such coverage.
