Earlier this year, the Geneva-based nongovernmental organization U.N. Watch reported numerous examples of what it called “UNRWA’s gross and systematic violations of neutrality and other U.N. rules in their hiring of teachers and in their use of curricula inside UNRWA schools that constitute incitement to hatred, antisemitism and terrorism.”
Examples included social media posts by agency teachers who praised Palestinian “martyrs” for killing Israeli soldiers and civilians, expressed support for the Holocaust and for terrorist groups, perpetuated antisemitic stereotypes, rejected Israel’s right to exist, and used maps that don’t include Israel.
Pertinent to the current conflict, UNRWA has a history of employing individuals affiliated with Hamas and creating social media posts that praise Hamas’ previous rocket attacks, according to U.N. Watch.
[There are a number of UN functions we should stop funding, but this is at the top of the list. Not only should we stop funding it, we should demand its dissolution. The aid just goes to terror groups — not just Hamas — and is being used to create the next generation of terrorists and annihilationists. — Ed]
