1. @UNRWA head @UNLazzarini blames unnamed "malicious" groups for allegedly making "baseless and shameless allegations...to undermine the agency’s reputation and well-being of Palestinian refugee children."
Sounds like quite a cabal.
Let's look at the facts, Mr. Lazzarini! 🧵
2. Is it against the “well-being of Palestinian refugee children” to denounce that 100+ UNRWA staff incited terror & glorified Hitler, Mr. @UNLazzarini?
Take UNRWA teacher G.N. Ghoneim who posted photos of Hitler, blessing him as “honorable” & “beloved.”
EU funds Palestinian terror-linked NGOs, acc. to 30 March 2020 letter by EU Ramallah Rep. Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff.
@EU_Commission@OliverVarhelyi calls for investigation. @eu_eeas@JosepBorrellF@vonderleyen bild.de/politik/auslan…
Von Burgsdorff's letter allowing funding for terror-linked groups contradicts a December 2019 EU anti-terror-clause specifically designed to cut off from EU taxpayer money those NGOs that are affiliated with terror groups or have terrorists on staff. 2/8
