19. You misunderstand.

Me finding nothing is indeed an opinion in regards to if the statement is true. Just because I didn't find anything doesn't make it true or false. It just means I did not find anything. That is basic logic. Yes, I did not find anything. That is a fact. My finding nothing does not prove a fact just as you said you cant prove a negative. I was going to point out that your statement "No one questions the fact of UNRWA employed people who are affiliated with Hamas. Not even UNRWA. " is just filled with not being able to prove a negative but I wanted you to explain your statement first. The fact that you wouldn't shows that you knew it was trying to prove a negative in the first place. "So of course, no sane person would attempt back up a negative' which is why you didn't when repeatedly asked about your statement.
