Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Jan. 29, 2024 “Most striking is the left’s attempts to downplay the seriousness of the charges against UNRWA.” I long ago lost faith in the left. But even I wouldn’t have believed it if you’d told me that one day they would spend Holocaust Memorial Day cheering an organisation whose members stand accused […]

Rachel O’Donoghue Honest Reporting Canada, Jan. 30, 2024 “While the BBC does reference some of UNRWA’s troubling history, it frames these issues as mere accusations from Israeli governments, which have “long denounced the agency’s teaching and textbooks for, in their view, perpetuating anti-Israel views.”” Following the release of evidence by Israel that Palestinian UNRWA employees […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 29, 2024 “If the past is any indication of the future, even those who have spoken out about this, like the United States, will eventually, even if quietly, resume full funding of UNRWA.” Let’s not get caught up in the details of the controversy that made headlines this past weekend about the […]
Jesse Kline National Post, Jan. 30, 2024 “On Oct. 7, as Hamas terrorists were indiscriminately slaughtering civilians in their homes and violently raping party-goers at a music festival, Safia Aidid, a professor at the University of Toronto, tweeted her “solidarity with the Palestinian people, today and everyday.”” The Israel-Hamas war has exposed an education […]

Editorial Board, NY Post, Jan. 29, 2024 “… over a thousand of these UN employees have documented terror ties.” It’s time — beyond time — to rethink US funding for the United Nations. After all, America has laws against financing terrorist groups, and the United Nations does just that: It employs actual Hamas terrorists and promoters […]
Hillel C. Neuer The Free Press, Jan. 29, 2024 “What we found was a chat group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers with discussions about when to expect their next UNRWA salaries mixed together with messages, photos, and videos celebrating the Hamas massacre of October 7 and other acts of terrorism.” Many who watched the […]
Bassam Tawill Gatestone Institute, Jan. 29, 2024 “There is no reason why the UN and its heads should be “horrified.”” Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), has announced that he decided to fire several employees of his agency after Israeli authorities provided information […]
Ariel Kahana Israel Hayom, Jan. 29, 2024 “This double affiliation, with Hamas and UNRWA, allows the organization’s terrorists to freely use the agency’s infrastructure for illicit purposes that have been discovered countless times during IDF counterterrorism operations in the strip.” Amid the ongoing firestorm surrounding the revelation that some UNRWA employees were part of the […]
Editorial Board WSJ, Jan. 26, 2024 “Hamas’s fighters “imbibed jihad and resistance with their mothers’ milk,” an UNRWA elementary-school teacher cheered. And with U.S. tax dollars, he could have added.” What a day for the United Nations. Its International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a preliminary ruling Friday in South Africa’s case against Israel that managed […]

Jess Bravin WSJ, Jan. 26, 2024 “Hamas, which the U.S. and European Union classify as a terrorist organization, said the ICJ decision “opens the door to holding the enemy’s leaders accountable for these crimes before the International Criminal Court and reaffirms the rights of our Palestinian people to self-determination, the establishment of their independent state, […]
Ido Rosenzweig Times of Israel, Jan. 27, 2024 “… one cannot underestimate the damage caused to the country by the outrageous statements of politicians, commentators, public figures, and soldiers. The ICJ made it clear that these statements played a significant role in the decision to grant provisional measures because these statements help establish the possibility […]
Peter Berkowitz Real Clear Politics, Jan. 25, 2024 “South Africa’s warping of facts and law, according to Becker, comprised several elements. South Africa delegitimized Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, assigned virtually all blame for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to Israel, suppressed Hamas’ responsibility for Gaza poverty, and obscured the Israeli victims’ humanity.” Yesterday, […]
