Here is the sobering truth about UNWRA. The proof is in their posting!!

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

ATT: @UNLazzarini @UNRWA

Dear Commissioner-General Lazzarini:

We are hereby calling on you to resign immediately as the head of UNRWA.

We note the following:

1. We officially and with detailed evidence informed you again and again about terrorism supporters at UNRWA. You did nothing.
https://t.co/rQEmxIB0lU

2. On the contrary, you defamed us, telling donor states to “shield” UNRWA from “political attacks that seek to undermine its legitimacy as a way to erode the rights of Palestine refugees.”
https://t.co/n1JhayryQJ

3. When we exposed 113 UNRWA teachers who support terrorism, you didn't fire a single one. Instead, your response was to defame us as “an organization with a deep history of unfounded and politically-driven assertions against the Agency.” https://t.co/3qz69Kf1En

4. You then defamed us before the UN General Assembly, stating that UNRWA faced “intense politically motivated attacks” which “sought to question its mandate, its relevance and the integrity of its staff” through “attacks on the quality of the education that Palestine refugee children receive.” https://t.co/w9jgzWNShN

5. When we exposed 3,000 UNRWA teachers in a Telegram group that celebrated the Hamas massacre of October 7th, your response was to accuse us of a “smear campaign.”
https://t.co/9jUEmaNlVa

Mr. Lazzarini, you knew about terrorism supporters throughout UNRWA, but you refused to take action or even ask us for the detailed evidence.

Now that terrorism by UNRWA staff has caused many of your top donors to freeze their funds—including the US, Germany, Canada, Australia, Italy, Finland, Netherlands and Switzerland—you must take responsibility.

This Tuesday at the Joint Hearing of the United States Congress, I will be addressing the dangerous harm caused by UNRWA itself.

But at this current moment, you must draw the appropriate conclusions. We are calling on you to resign immediately.

Sincerely,
Hillel C. Neuer
United Nations Watch
Geneva, Switzerland

Just a few bad apples?

Here is our saved copy of the UNRWA Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA teachers: https://t.co/1FgUu9Lxvo

There are 249,000 messages, replete with celebrations of Hamas terrorism: https://t.co/1avingQHvp

There is not one case where an UNRWA teacher objected.

It’s been amazing this week to watch the left invert every rhetorical device they’ve used since 2020, all to avoid having to criticize terrorists dedicated to Jewish genocide. It would be hilarious, if it weren’t so reprehensible.

2020: Silence is violence.

2023: People can’t be expected to comment on every situation. It’s okay to just keep silent, especially while events are still unfolding.

————————

2020: If you’re nitpicking small details instead of focusing on the big picture, you’re doing so to avoid your complicity in atrocities.

2023: 40 babies weren’t actually beheaded. 40 babies may have been killed, and some of them may have been beheaded, but that’s not the same as 40 getting beheaded. Details matter.

————————

2020: Universities must proactively take a stand and speak out in opposition to racism. “Academic freedom” is a false concept used to enforce oppression.

2023: Universities need to maintain neutrality and ensure that they do not make any statements that jeopardize the principle of academic freedom, which is a paramount virtue in the realm of scholarship.

————————

2020: You must immediately and forcefully condemn an attack, even if investigations are ongoing.

2023: You can’t expect us to release statements opposing an attack within four days, when the facts are still being discovered. Israel hasn’t even allowed UN investigators at the scenes of these “alleged massacres.”

————————

2020: People are responsible for their words, even if they are just working-class teenagers in small towns. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

2023: Graduate students at the most prestigious university in the world are just kids and cannot be held accountable for statements they sign. This is cancel culture.

————————

2020: Believe all women.

2023: Where is the physical evidence of these “alleged rapes”?

————————

2020: It’s not enough to be non-racist. If you are not actively anti-racist, it means that you are, in fact, racist.

2023: How dare you question whether I support terrorists just because I haven’t actively spoken out against Hamas freedom fighters.

————————

2020: We don’t get to tell people in affected communities how to deal with their pain in the aftermath of violence.

2023: It is Israel’s responsibility to ensure that violence doesn’t escalate.

————————

2020: Anything that disproportionately affects one group of people is oppression and must be condemned.

2023: Settlers—a term that includes all Israeli Jews—are not civilians and are therefore all valid targets for attacks.
