Gaza has twice as many UN Staff than in New York.<br /><br /> UNRWA leverages the UN brand to appear to casual observers as a team of relatively unbiased international aid workers, when in fact they're a $1 billion/year Palestinian business, run by Palestinians and staffed by Palestinians.<br /><br /><strong>They need Palestinian refugees to exist.</strong> If Palestinians got their state, there would be no more "refugees," and the business and flow of aid money would end. It's in their best interests to perpetuate the conflict and leave Palestinian statehood up in the air. UNRWA schools literally taught a whole generation of Gazans to hate their neighbors and make unrealistic demands so that the core issue of sovereignty is never addressed.<br /><br /> Its sole achievements are radicalizing Palestinian children and keeping Palestinians refugees for generations. As you have read in the news recently, they also kept some of the hostages.<br /><br /> UNRWA should have been disbanded decades ago, all they do is perpetuate the conflict and keep Palestinians poor and uneducated.<br /><br /> The increasing frequency of UN posts on Twitter regarding the Palestinian situation in contrast to other conflicts reveals a distinct pattern. <br /><br /> As the pressure on Hamas tightens, Antonio takes actions that would hinder the eradication of Hamas.  UN agencies are in a campaign against Israel, Led by UN WOMEN who silently betrayed by turning a blind eye to the mass rape.<br /><br /> Antonio is becoming increasingly panicked about what may be discovered once Hamas leaders are interrogated and the money trail investigated.<br /><br /> It's time to sue the United Nations for being a party to terrorism. Israel should build a case, and individual Israelis whose family members suffered in the October 7th terrorist attacks should file a Claim against the UN. Put them on the defensive.<br /><br /> Gaza is a cash cow for the UN.  The moment Hamas goes out so does the cash flow from which the people who really need help don't benefit anyway. Had they really done their jobs then Gazans would fare much better and Oct.07 wouldn't have happened in the first place.</div> </blockquote> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div> Thu, 28 Dec 2023 10:23:02 +0000 artappraiser comment 329324 at http://dagblog.com
