More About UNRWA

In continuation to my post about reasons to defund UNRWA, here is more proof to UNRWA’s participation in promoting war and hate between Arabs and Israelis.

A tunnel system was discovered by the Israel Defense Forces beneath UNRWA Headquarters:

Also depicted in Times Of Israel:

Beneath UNRWA’s Gaza Strip headquarters, the IDF has uncovered one of Hamas’s most significant and top secret assets: a subterranean data center used by the terror group for intelligence and communications.

The terror group built the server farm, complete with an electrical room and living quarters for the Hamas IT staff, directly below the UN agency’s complex and a nearby UNRWA school in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood, to ensure Israel would never strike it.

A post on LinkedIn by Keren Batkat shows the “SUCCESS-STORY” of UNRWA (I urge you to watch the short video in this LinkedIn post, it’s
thought-provoking.):

📍 Succeeding to MULTIPLY the number of Palestinian REFUGEES by 7, since its operation began.
📍 Helping to survive the Palestinian DREAM of one day RETURNING to a place… they’re ALREADY IN

As long as UNRWA exists,
Palestinians will believe they are still REFUGEES,
Waiting for the EXTINCTION of Israel,
and will NEVER build a life for themselves 💡

The case against UNRWA: The UN Watch has many findings regarding how UN schools use our tax money to teach Palestinian children to hate and kill Jews:

  • UN Watch Uncovers Group Chat of 3000 UNRWA Teachers Showing Widespread Support for Hamas Terrorism
  • 183 Exposed UNRWA Employees and Counting
  • And more: This page shows UN Watch Reports on UNRWA for the past 10 years; its monitoring of UNRWA; The Case for Dissolving UNRWA; and a Future Beyond UNRWA.

The UN appointed 1 UN team and 3 “independent” institutions to evaluate the “neutrality” of UNRWA. Ironically, the neutrality of the evaluators themselves should be questioned based on a quick look on their websites and actions.

The core argument centers around UNRWA’s distinct approach to the refugee definition. While the UNHCR works to find permanent solutions and decrease the number of displaced individuals it serves, UNRWA’s definition of refugees can include individuals who have been resettled, gained citizenship, and achieved success.

Shmuel Calderon on LinkedIn:

“So if employees of UNRWA were Involve with KIDNAPPING, STEALING millions of dollars from aid money,
Become MEMBERS of an internationally recognized TERROR organization — Would it be safe to say that UN is ACCUSED of being involved with TERRORISM??”

🚨Hillel Neuer’s testimony before the US Congress committee is astonishing:

“I am here to bear witness and testify that Secretary-General Guterres, the head of UNRWA Philippe Lazzarini, their predecessors, and their senior colleagues, could not possibly have been shocked that UNRWA employees are implicated in terrorism.”

In this post on LinkedIn, there is a summary of the account of underground Hamas intelligence center and weapons storage found inside offices within and beneath UNRWA facilities.
There are also links to:

  • An animated infographic showing the underground route passing between UNRWA infrastructure
  • Footage from inside the underground tunnel route that passes under an UNRWA funded school and its demolition
  • Footage of the weapons found in an UNRWA building and an explanation by the Commander of the 401st Brigade Combat Team, COL Benny Aharon
  • And more

Naftali Bennett, Israeli former prime minister, wrote a post about the tunnels discovered under UNRWA’s headqua

This Instagram post by standwithus shows the extent of UNRWA’s involvement with the Hamas:

12 UNRWA employees participated in the October 7th massacre. 1,200 UNRWA employees in Gaza are unrwa members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad terrorist groups. 3,000+ UNRWA teachers were part of a Telegram chat where messages celebrating the October 7th massacre were exchanged. About 6,000 UNRWA employees, half of UNRWA’s workforce in Gaza, have family members involved with Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups.

Why are we funding an organization that prolongs the conflict??
