    Nobody should believe anything because of a "bro trust me" and if you do you have a serious problem. I know nobody cares if I believe it, I am not stupid

    Denual is a refuge for weak arguments. Obviously the the countries that control fund8ng are not in denial.

    Scepticism in the face of a lack of evidence, especially for a claim from one side involved in a war, is not only a good idea but necessary. Would you just believe a Russian claim about Ukranian schools, no questions asked?

    Than we won’t support our governments for blindly believing it.

    They have the information so they're not blind. At least not as blind as you.

    Yeah sure, like they had the information on Saddams WMDs!

    Yeah, or about Russia invading Ukraine! Wait.

    If you look at documents at the time, intelligence agencies said there was a possibility he had WMDs, but there was no conclusive evidence nor assurances.

    The Bush Administration lied to Congress and said we knew for sure they had them.

    Edit: It's good to have healthy skepticism -- it hasn't escaped my notice that the majority of evidence behind this claim is coming from Israel. I don't think it's wise to deem it automatically false however, and pulling funding is premature. There should however be a serious internal investigation. And if they already have smoking guns, the UN should release them in the interest of transparency.

    Apologies for starting out my comment as a bit of a jackass.
