The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), this single-purpose refugee agency in charge of the refugees from the 1948 Israel war of liberation, is having funds cut off from major donors, because their staff cheered on the October 7th massacre of Jewish women, children and elderly. And the abduction of 240 of them.
As far back as 2012, I’ve noted that UNRWA is crooked and corrupt. Anybody with eyes and a brain could see it. Just not the donors and leftie Jew-haters, apparently. At least until now. When the Hamas-worship became too much to ignore.
Consider a few things:
UNRWA is the only refugee agency in the world that is set up for one group only -- the Palestinians who were driven out -- or drove themselves out -- of the new UN-sanctioned state of Israel, during the 1948 war of independence. For the rest of the world, as far as the United Nations is concerned, there is just one single agency for all of them -- the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
At the beginning, UNRWA was looking after some 380,000 refugees. Now they look after 6 to 7 million. This is because, unlike all other refugee agencies, the UNRWA added a clause to the definition of “Refugee” to include “the descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children”. As I noted in this post, this gives UNRWA a forever job. And it also (btw) gainsays the idea of “genocide”. Pretty weird genocide if the alleged targets have increased 20-fold over the time you’re supposed to have been genociding them.
Look at the figures above, which I got from the websites of the agencies. UNRWA has ten times the staff per refugee as does UNHCR. That’s largely because all the schools in Gaza and the West Bank are run by UNRWA and we know that their curriculum is jew-hatred from the moment their kinder babies can speak.
As soon as we knew of the October 7th massacres by Hamas, staff of UNRWA were on their Telegram accounts praising them, lauding them, calling down the blessings of Allah on them. These are the people who get away scot free? And Hamas are the people Israel is supposed to talk “peace” with?
More: evidence of UNWRA corruption and use of aid money to fund terror. Our Australian Foreign Minister is an idiot. Or a lier.
