Earlier this month, UN Watch released a report showing the enthusiasm among UNRWA teachers for the Oct 7 atrocities.
A Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza is replete with posts celebrating the Hamas massacre of October 7th minutes after it began, praising the murderers and rapists as “heroes,” glorifying the “education” the terrorists received, gleefully sharing photos of dead or captured Israelis and urging the execution of hostages.
The Telegram chat group is meant to support UNRWA teachers, and contains dozens of files with UNRWA staff names, ID numbers, schedules and curriculum materials.
In addition, UNRWA teachers regularly share videos, photos and messages inciting to Jihadi terrorism, and openly celebrating the Hamas massacre and rape of civilians.
Now, the Biden administration and a number of other countries are pausing UNRWA funding after employees of the UN agency were tied to the Oct 7 attacks.
The United States and a number of other countries have suspended funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency over accusations that a number of its employees took part in Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 massacre.
United Nations Secretary Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday that out of the 12 UNRWA employees implicated, nine had been terminated, one was dead and the identities of the other two were being clarified.
UNRWA fired the 12 employees after Israel provided intelligence regarding their complicity.
In the wake of the accusations and dismissals, the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, Italy, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Scotland suspended their funding to the U.N. agency.
UNRWA has in the past made little secret of the fact that it employs Hamas members and has refused to fire them.
Back in 2014, I wrote a little article titled simply, “Defund UNRWA”.
The UNRWA’s Gaza staff has its own union. In the 2012 election, a pro-Hamas bloc won the support of most of the union with 25 out of 27 seats on a union board.
“I am sure that there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll,” a former UNRWA Commissioner General said, “and I don’t see that as a crime.”
“Hamas as a political organization does not mean that every member is a militant, and we do not do political vetting and exclude people from one persuasion as against another,” he added.
When there was talk of reforming the UNRWA by removing Hamas members from its ranks, the editor of a Hamas paper wrote that, “Laying off the agency employees because of their political affiliation means laying off all the employees of the aid agency, because…they are all members of the ‘resistance,’ in its various forms.”
“They are all members of the ‘resistance,’ in its various forms.”
Hamas and UNRWA leadership have occasionally clashed, but the bottom line is that it’s impossible for UNRWA to operate without ceding control to Hamas, without employing Hamas members and without allowing them to control day-to-day operations.
There are no surprises here. Only a deliberate blindness to what was going on.
“it’s impossible for UNRWA to operate without ceding control to Hamas”
Don’t expect that UNRWA is the only UN agency with employees tied to terrorists groups. The UN won’t investigate itself. When it claims to, it’s lying. Why didn’t the UN investigate UNRWA when the first Hamas ties were identified?
Trump was absolutely correct in stopping US funding of UNRWA. Biden re-started funding, not because of any vindication of wrongdoing by UNRWA but simply to kill anything Trump did, regardless of the truth.
Suspended funding after the massacre? …
Talk about an epic lock the barn door after the horses are stolen …
This is like celebrating the indians, demonizing the farmers, and then …
… paying the indians to attack the farmstead, kill the farmer, rape his wife, kidnap the children, butcher the livestock, and then …
… yelling Go Indians! Death to Farmers! …
… Oh, wait we “stopped” funding some indians – So Sit Down and STFU Bigot!
Unbelievable.
Is there any Christian leader left – with enough love in his heart – to tell these Left-wing, Atheist, Demokkkratic loonies …
… that they will BURN …
G-d help us all … and wake up the cowards …
My immediate reaction is:
I think that this hold on UNWRA funding isn’t morally motivated, but somehow linked to the current hostage deal proposed by Hamas, Qatar and the US that is currently being rammed down Israel’s throat.
Time to declare all UNWRA personnel as Hamas Nazi terrorists who have made sure that every single man, woman and child living in Gaza is a Hamas Nazi terrorist.
The notion of taking away money, but not the people who use the money, still leaves every Hamas Nazi terrorist fortified in body and spirit in Gaza. These UN members anointing themselves as defunders of UNWRA while still being defenders of Hamas Nazi terrorists know Gaza has more than enough money from other sources, and is overflowing with “humanitarian” aid to ensure that the terrorists can continue to murder day after day after day and the Israeli hostages remain in the Hamas Nazi concentration camp called Gaza.
This is another war strategy against Israel.
What a sham.
And it is unforgivable, not by human standards, but I would hope unforgivable by Divine standards.
Gee, do you think that could explain why Hamas is always hiding their weapons in UN-run d hoops and hospitals? Things that make you go Hmmmm.
Leftists support Muslim terrorists.
Let the IDF take out UNWRA
Time to move the UN to Moscow or Beijing just get it out of America Period
