Dear @matzschmale @UNRWA:

How can UNRWA claim to be strictly humanitarian when you pronounce on "root causes" of the conflict, and falsely point the finger at Israel?

Here's a "root cause" for you: a hundred years of genocidal antisemitism from Haj Amin al-Husseini to Hamas. Image
@matzschmale, you yourself have a long record of employing admirers of Hitler and other antisemites and Jihadi terrorism supporters as UNRWA teachers and principals.

Thread:
UNRWA systematically violates its humanitarian mandate by pronouncing itself on political matters, as done this past month by blaming Israel for "root causes" of the conflict.

Our governments—🇺🇸🇩🇪🇬🇧🇸🇪🇨🇭🇨🇦🇫🇷—give UNRWA hundreds of millions & say nothing.
Look how many millions of our taxes go to UNRWA. Yet none of our donor governments—including the US which is now back giving huge sums to the agency—ever speak out on UNRWA abuses. unrwa.org/how-you-can-he… Image

Despite Havana's efforts to silence her, Cuban artist and activist Tania Bruguera managed to submit testimony about the regime’s oppression to the 2021 @GenevaSummit of dissidents and former political prisoners. She now fears “the potential consequences.“

.@Immigrantmove: "Imagine yourself walking on the streets with a friend and suddenly, a car stops, and four people emerge from the car and force you to get inside of it. Once you are inside; you realize that those with you are state security agents..." genevasummit.org/tania-bruguera…
"You arrive to a police station, and they make you remove your clothes, they interrogate you, they don’ t allow to make a call and noone knows where you are. Imagine that you are one of the 170 political prisoners in Cuba today."

UNRWA found a Hamas tunnel dug 7 meters below its Zaitoun Prep A Boys School in Gaza.

"UNRWA condemns the existence & potential use by Palestinian armed groups of such tunnels underneath its schools in the strongest possible terms. It is unacceptable that

students and staff be placed at risk in such a way."

In 2015, a UN investigation found that Hamas and/or Islamic Jihad stored rockets in schools that were in active use by children, and fired rockets at Israelis from UNRWA schools.

SICK: The U.N.’s World Health Organization elects Syria’s Assad regime, which bombs its own people in hospitals, to its Executive Board. I urge U.N. chief @antonioguterres & WHO director @DrTedros to denounce this insult to the millions of Assad victims.
I know it's hard to believe so here's video and documentation: apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_f…

Regimes of Syria and Belarus elected to @WHO Executive Board.

"In the General Committee’s opinion these 12 Members would provide, if elected, a balanced distribution of the Board as a whole."
Electing Syria to govern the world's top health body is like hiring a pyromaniac to be the town fire chief.

Syria’s Assad regime systematically bombs hospitals and clinics, killing doctors, nurses, and others as they care for the sick and injured.

“Madam President: The United Nations was founded to prevent war. Yet today’s one-sided session, and the pre-determined investigation it proposes, will achieve the opposite — because they were the very purpose of this war.“

My intervention at yesterday's Orwellian UNHRC session.
“The purpose of Hamas, backed by Iran, was to attack Israeli cities from within populated areas in Gaza, to incur civilian casualties, and exploit the suffering of their own people -- in order to delegitimize Israel, here at the UN, in international courts, and in the media.“
“A council for human rights ought to condemn what Hamas is doing.“

Hamas welcomes today's Palestinian-drafted UNHRC resolution creating a permanent commission of inquiry that will target Israel.

It was officially backed by China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Pakistan and Human Rights Watch. Image

BREAKING: @WHO deviates from addressing COVID-19 to hold session condemning one single country as a violator of health rights: 🇮🇱 Israel.

Shame on France, Spain, Belgium, Ireland for backing PLO resolution co-sponsored by Syria, Cuba, Turkey & Qatar.

unwatch.org/who-meeting-de…
The vote was 82-14, with 40 abstentions & 38 absent.

✅ We applaud the Netherlands, Austria & Colombia for changing their votes this year to No.

✅ Voted No like last year: US, UK, Australia, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Honduras, Hungary & Israel.
However, amid a global pandemic, the minority of EU member states and other democracies who voted for the resolution should be ashamed:

❌ France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, Japan, India, Ireland, New Zealand and Luxembourg.
