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.

Yehudah Mirsky Unherd, Jan. 17, 2024 “Hypocrisy is at work here, of course, but that is almost trivially beside the point. Genocide is more than a justifiably hideous characterisation: as a legal category, as rhetoric and policy framing, it is a doomsday weapon of epic proportions.

Tzipi Hotovely Yahoo News, Dec. 10, 2023 ‘… making any such call while Hamas still has its arsenal as well as 137 Israeli hostages, is like saying to Israelis that you do not mind if October 7 happens again, particularly given that the leadership of Hamas has publicly said that it would carry out October […]
Douglas Murray The Spectator, Dec. 9, 2023 “A released Israeli hostage has said they were themselves held for almost 50 days by an UNRWA teacher” There’s an old joke about the United Nations having a football team. ‘But who would they play?’ it goes. ‘Why, Israel of course.’ There may not be much humour in […]

Yom Ha’atzmaut — Independence Day — is commemorated on Wednesday, […]
Anne Bayefsky JNS, June 8, 2023 “The process of producing this latest report was Kafka-esque. Pillay told U.N. WebTV that she stood “ready to hear alternate voices” and couldn’t help but draw negative inferences (against Israel) in their “absence.” But all the hearings and meetings were invitation-only, and alternates didn’t make the cut.” A U.N. “Commission of […]
Alan Baker Jerusalem Post, June 6, 2023 “While nobody really expects anything positive, let alone balanced or neutral to emanate from any part of the UN, one might nevertheless expect that the one senior official whose function purports to include coordination of the Middle East peace process, would at least make some attempt to address […]
