UNRWA nominated for Nobel Peace Prize amid investigation into its staffers’ Hamas links and their involvement in the October 7th Hamas massacre in Israel.
National Review A Norwegian parliamentary official has nominated the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for the Nobel Peace Prize this week, after Israeli intelligence showed evidence that UNRWA employees participated in Hamas’s October 7 attack against Israel.
At least twelve UNRWA staffers participated in the attack, an Israeli intelligence dossier revealed last week, and 1,200 of UNRWA’s 12,000 staffers in Gaza have ties to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Several countries, including the U.S., have since suspended funding for UNRWA.
Republican state attorneys general wrote a letter to Congress last week asking Joe Biden’s administration to permanently halt UNRWA’s funding.
“It is time for Congress to stop funding this organization that rapes, murders, and kidnaps innocents—and that has shown it has no willingness, desire, or capacity to stick to humanitarian aid and away from supporting antisemitism and terrorism,” the attorneys general wrote.
House Republicans also introduced a bill to ban U.S. funding for UNRWA. American taxpayers have shouldered almost $1 billion in funding for UNRWA since 2021, money that Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas) told the Washington Free Beacon should not be spent on an “anti-Israel, anti-Jewish organization that promotes terrorism and anti-Semitism.”

All nobel prizes ceased having any worth the day they gave obama one. The are became elitist self adulation and remain so.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Right and the warning was given from obama himself by his inoguration, remember he said im a muslim and on what holy book did the swear ??.

So true what you said, what about this for a sick joke.
An Iranian diplomat has been appointed to chair the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Social Forum in November 2023. UNHRC President Vaclav Balek announced the appointment of the Iranian foreign policy expert in a letter dated May 10, 2023.

The joke is way longer, just take a look at the uno and there you see the arab that has the high seat. The enemy is installed into your headquarters and with that you want to win what?. That is why Pres. Trump says its used and dirty. They have installed them in every corner and to see it take a look at suicidal germany where the socialist has taken power for the second time in history and the first time we all know what happened but today we sit quiet and watch as they do the same as back then. I see and feel this then i consider myself as a friend of all Jewish people and their land (all of it), i can never become a jew then i was born a german but i feel think like them and im happyer to be with them then my own landsmen. My landsmen is for me nothing more than liars and cheats and they prove it daily to me. So you see i see the joke but i dont find it very funny. Rock Steady Israel.
