@HillelNeuer Incredible and tenacious. And absolutely right.

@HillelNeuer Good for you Hillel for doggedly staying on this case. Finally people are starting to listen.

BREAKING: The “few bad apples” line pushed by the UN has just been obliterated. The Wall Street Journal front page is reporting that an estimated 1,200 Unrwa employees in Gaza are actual “operatives” of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and about half have close relatives who belong to the Islamist terrorist organizations, according to Israeli intelligence estimates shared with the U.S. government.

The report said 23% of Unrwa’s male employees—the agency has a total staff of 12,000 in Gaza—took active part in the Hamas organization’s military or political framework, a higher percentage than the average of 15% for adult males in Gaza.

The information in the Israeli intelligence reports is based on sensitive signals intelligence as well as cellphone tracking data, interrogations of captured Hamas gunmen and documents recovered from dead terrorists.

Nearly half of all Unrwa employees—an estimated 49%—also had close relatives with official ties to Hamas and other terrorist groups.

The Oct. 7 intelligence reports seen by the Wall Street Journal identified an Unrwa Arabic teacher who was also a Hamas terrorist commander and took part in a terrorist attack on Kibbutz Be’eri, where 97 people were murdered, and about 26 people were kidnapped and taken as hostages to Gaza.

Another Unrwa employee, described in the dossier as an Unrwa social worker, played a role in absconding with the body of a dead Israeli soldier, which was taken to Gaza, the reports said. He also coordinated trucks and munitions distributions for Hamas before being killed.

@mgeist Truly shameful. It's just like those in the human rights community who say that the events of October 7 need to be "contextualized". In other words, human rights standards can apply, but only depending on their view of the victims.

This is great. I've seen counsel attend court from their cars, but were people really vaping? #lawyers

Turns out the company tapped by the Ont. gov't to step in and run Westside LTC home in Etobicoke, ravaged by #COVID19 and where 27 people have died of the virus, has been managing homes cited for multiple violations of the LTC Homes Act. My story here: https://t.co/rDB6HcGpYK

@Mayssia Sometimes, yes, but I also think this is a choice that we make. We choose where to set our own boundaries.

Let due diligence be the defence of LTC homes. Giving retroactive immunity essentially sweeps the problem under the rug. These issues need to see the light of day. #COVID19Ontario #LTC
