Not only does a large portion of the funding for UNRWA, which claims to be a UN humanitarian aid program for victims of war, get confiscated by Hamas for purchasing weapons of war, it is a permanent multi-billion dollar welfare system, funded by mostly non-Muslim countries, for unemployed Arab Muslims demanding to return to a country they have never set foot in (Israel), and who are unwelcome in any other Arab Muslim country because of the troublemakers and terrorists among them.
ZeroHedge The main United Nations agency in Gaza has had its funding gutted, given that countries responsible for the bulk of funds have cut them off (especially the US and UK), following evidence that at least a dozen of the UN agency’s employees were involved in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.
The organization which goes by the formal name of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has already reportedly fired several employees amid the allegations, and the controversy has resulted in the United States leading the way in pausing all donations. The UNRWA has long faced these accusations, and all the way back in 2018 the Trump administration cut US funding, but it was restored under the Biden administration in 2021.
Below are some of the Israeli intelligence findings:
At least 12 employees of the U.N.’s Palestinian refugee agency had connectionsto Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel and around 10% of all of its Gaza staff have ties to Islamist militant groups, according to intelligence reports reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Six United Nations Relief and Works Agency workers were part of the wave of Palestinian militants who killed 1,200 people in the deadliest assault on Jews since the Holocaust, according to the intelligence dossier. Two helped kidnap Israelis. Two others were tracked to sites where scores of Israeli civilians were shot and killed. Others coordinated logistics for the assault, including procuring weapons.
Of the 12 Unrwa employees with links to the attacks, seven were primary or secondary school teachers, including two math teachers, two Arabic language teachers and one primary school teacher.
WSJ notes that there are some 13,000 total UN employees in Gaza, and the overwhelming majority are Palestinian. “Intelligence estimates shared with the U.S. conclude that around 1,200 of Unrwa’s roughly 12,000 employees in Gaza have links to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and about half have close relatives who belong to the Islamist militant groups,” the report says.
In the case of Gaza, the claim that “around 10% of all of its Gaza staff have ties to Islamist militant groups” makes perfect sense as every public hospital, university, social organization, or even elementary or high school, down to the level of a corner soup kitchen, runs with some degree backing or association with Hamas.

Aussie Andrew Bolt is persistently switched on. Unfortunately, our PM Albanese & far too many Australian Politicians do not listen to his ‘Sky News’ wisdom.

Don’t give money to any Muslums period. They’ll use it against us one way or another.

The US should stop funding not just the UNRWA, but the whole of the UN! The US should actively work to dismantle the entire leftist liberal dhimmi outfit, and reconstitute a new organization which truly aspires for international peace and stability. The UN in its current form rightfully belongs in either Saudi Arabia, or China. In the very least it will free up valuable real estate in NY.

The League of Nations didn’t work either and was replaced with the UN. Time to do the same to the UN.

Wasnt there something like Israel that has warned for years but things like gutteras ignore the warning and me myself thinks that this thing is working with the hamas. The un is corrupted and not used for what it was grounded for and that is reason enough to say it has to go.

All funding period should be stopped from all agencies, Funding is the #1 reason that enabled Humpass to build advanced tunnel systems, stock pile weapons , continue the hatred towards Israel , Jews , Christian’s and any other religion or society that hasn’t planted its roots and sole existence in the prehistoric era.

Start with arresting the 12 UNWRA employee, charge them and send them to Israel to stand trial. I would wager they would then rat out more UNWRA to avoid Israel new terror death penalty
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Yep and we are the quilty ones then we fed them and gave them the means to attack Israel, no matter that Israel has warned us for years and years. The same goes for africa, we feed them on so that they can produce 1 million babys in just 10 days and we feed them on so that they can knock on our door to be let in our countries so that we can feed them forever. This must stop imediatly or there will never ever be peace on this planet. Israel showes us this in realtime and the outcome the Jewish people feel since 1948 and all look the other way, shame on all of them.Rock Steady Israel.

Were it not for the U.S.’s position on the Security Council, I would definitely advocate to abrogate all ties with the putrid organization. I am afraid that without the U.S. being able veto any vote to prevent Israel or our own nation from UN interference, Israel would be forced to secede to the whims of despicable organization.
BareNakedIslam says
I can’t understand why Israel even wants to be a member there.
Az gal says
They are trying to show they are not a rogue nation, but it really is useless & humiliating.
