President Biden today announced a $201 million increase in U.S. funding for UNRWA, for a total of $618 million under his administration. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

This 🇺🇸 money will directly fund UNRWA teachers and staff who call to murder Jews. We exposed 120. Let's meet them: 🧵
1/ Meet 🇺🇸-funded UNRWA teacher Elham Mansour. On Facebook she writes: “By Allah, anyone who can kill and slaughter any Zionist & Israeli criminal, and doesn’t do so, doesn’t deserve to live. Kill and pursue them everywhere. All Israel deserves is death.” unwatch.org/elham-mansour-…
2/ Meet 🇺🇸-funded UNRWA teacher Nihaya Awad. She glorifies Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and Palestinian use of child soldiers. UNRWA official Gwyn Lewis gave her this certificate of appreciation for being a a “best performer” teacher. unwatch.org/nihaya-awad-co…

BREAKING: Under pressure from our exposé, U.N.'s Palestinian relief agency suspends 6 teachers for calling to murder Jews.

But @UNRWA is mad we exposed their racists, saying we “seek to destroy, not build, to invite conflict, not build a lasting peace.” unwatch.org/un-agency-susp…
2/ “Following our review of all social media posts referenced in the [UN Watch] report, six staff members were put on administrative leave,” said UNRWA Deputy Commissioner-General Leni Stenseth. unrwa.org/newsroom/press…

We've exposed 120 UNRWA racists. Not one has been fired.
3/ Meet UNRWA teacher Elham Mansour. On Facebook she writes: “By Allah, anyone who can kill and slaughter any Zionist and Israeli criminal, and doesn’t do so, doesn’t deserve to live. Kill them and pursue them everywhere. All Israel deserves is death.” unwatch.org/elham-mansour-… ImageImage

Navi Pillay says her lobbying to “sanction Israeli apartheid” doesn't make her biased because “statements made as individuals in the past” are unrelated to “the legal fact base analysis she would reach as part of the COI.”

The law says the opposite: 🧵
jpost.com/arab-israeli-c…
Two key facts:

1. In June 2020, Pillay publicly lobbied governments to “Sanction Apartheid Israel!”
mcusercontent.com/36542688e35393…

2. In June 2021, Pillay publicly lobbied President Biden to declare Israel guilty of the war she's now meant to investigate. nowisthetimecoalition.com /2
Yet like Schabas in 2014, Pillay effectively argues that “What I am going to try to do is park my views at the door...they’re not relevant to the job I have to do.”

This argument has no merit and confuses the legal test concerning the impartiality of judges and fact-finders. /3
