2/ Claudio Cordone: “UNRWA expresses its deep appreciation to Fateh Sharif for his contribution in enhancing the school community to guarantee a better future for Palestine refugee children.”

Hamas: “Fateh Sharif fought as a martyr, and gave Jihadi education to the children.”

🚨 NEW: UN Watch has unveiled the UNRWA Terror Network, an investigative platform that exposes and maps the systemic infiltration of UNRWA by terrorist organizations including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

BREAKING: A bombshell new 200-page report exposes how Hamas terror chiefs seized control of the UNRWA school system responsible for educating hundreds of thousands of children in Gaza and Lebanon.

The UN knew about this scandal — and did nothing.

Here are the highlights: 🧵 2/ UNRWA runs a vast network of schools for 500,000 Palestinian students.

It raises $1+ billion each year from Western states with a promise to teach these children peace and tolerance.

In reality, UNRWA handed the children over to violent terror groups like Hamas and PIJ.

The U.N. Human Rights Council was created to protect human rights & fundamental freedoms for all.

Instead, dictatorships hijacked the Council & turned it into an Orwellian nightmare.

As its 60th Session opens today in Geneva, here are 7 problems with this major U.N. body: 🧵 1. The Council is obsessed with demonizing Israel.

Every session of the Human Rights Council features a standing agenda item targeting Israel: Item 7.

No other country—not Iran, Russia, nor North Korea—is singled out in this way.

The UN Security Council is due to vote on renewing the mandate of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon.

The 🇺🇸 U.S. has branded UNIFIL an “abject failure” and reportedly wants it shut down, while 🇫🇷 France is pushing to prolong it.

Here's what you need to know: 🧵 2/ UNIFIL was established in 1978, but after the 2006 war between Israel and the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, the UN Security Council strengthened UNIFIL’s mandate.

UNIFIL was entrusted with overseeing Hezbollah’s disarmament and withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

Don’t be fooled by UNRWA’s lies.

On X, they claim to show you “how #UNRWAworks.”

But they never show you how UNRWA employs terrorists, incites hatred, and prolongs the conflict.

This is how UNRWA really works:🧵 2/ UNRWA was created to help refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

It had a noble goal: provide food, medical care, and housing to displaced people so they could rebuild their lives.

But the UN agency quickly lost its way.

U.N. Antisemite Loses Blue Check
(GENEVA — For the first time ever, a U.N. official has lost verified status on social media. Francesca Albanese, recently sanctioned by the U.S., has lost her “blue check” on X after UN Watch's legal appeal to Elon Musk.
unwatch.org/u-n-official-f… 2/ The letter, sent on July 31 to Elon Musk and the legal team at X, called on the company to remove Albanese’s blue check mark in light of her designation under U.S. sanctions. The verification badge was removed from her account on August 4.

Reuters forgot to say: 1 of the UN “experts” is a nutcase who was condemned for antisemitism by the EU, Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, US, Netherlands, Australia, Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Brazil, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark & even the UNHRC Chair. 🧵

2/ Miloon Kothari, one of the three commissioners behind this report, famously declared in 2022 that “social media is controlled largely by the Jewish lobby.”

He became the first UN investigator to be condemned for antisemitism. Yet his inquiry Chair, Navi Pillay, defended him.

UN-REAL: Meet the newest members of the UN's Economic and Social Council.

This top UN body oversees key human rights & women’s rights commissions.

Electing human rights abusers Russia, China, Turkey & Burundi to the council is like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank.

2/ These oppressive regimes were elected in a secret ballot at the UN General Assembly, receiving the following % of possible votes:

🇷🇺 Russia: 61%
🇹🇷 Turkey: 92%
🇨🇳 China: 95%
🇹🇩 Chad: 96%
🇧🇮 Burundi: 97%

And here’s the kicker—Western democracies helped make this happen 👇

The UN has spent billions on @UNIFIL_ , its flagship peacekeeping force in Lebanon.

But UNIFIL has a long track record of failing to keep the peace.

On International Day of UN Peacekeepers, let’s assess the true cost of UNIFIL’s litany of failures: 🧵 2/ UNIFIL was established in 1978, but after the 2006 war between Israel and the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon, the UN Security Council strengthened UNIFIL’s mandate.

UNIFIL was entrusted with overseeing Hezbollah’s disarmament & withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

“UN Watch is one the world’s most important NGOs. It has a David and Goliath mission: to hold the UN accountable. Neuer is watching. A man with a formidable intellect. Purpose driven. Laser focused. He is the man every democratic nation is in debt to—whether they know it or not.” 2/ “Who’s watching the watcher? This question, this phrase, born of the 1st century Roman poet Juvenal, was the first thing that came to my mind when I found out Hillel Neuer was coming to Australia. The second thought was: This is a conversation I must have.”

“𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗜𝗗𝗘”: A bombshell new UN Watch report exposes how the UN and Francesca Albanese engaged in a cover-up to conceal her funding by pro-Hamas lobby groups.

Here are the highlights of the report: 🧵 2/ In November 2023, Albanese toured Australia and New Zealand on a trip sponsored by pro-Hamas lobby groups, including Sinwar sympathizers like @AFOPA_Australia.

This violated UN rules forbidding officials from accepting payment for mandate-related activities.

Silence.
Neglect.
Complicity.

This is not what you’d expect from the world’s largest humanitarian organization.

But on International Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, we look at the scandals that they would rather ignore: 2/ The Red Cross has failed the hostages in Hamas captivity:

- The Red Cross hasn’t visited a single hostage in Gaza
- Red Cross officials were complicit in Hamas's humiliating hostage handovers
- Hostage families were equated with those of convicted Palestinian prisoners

BREAKING: The three-year extension of Francesca Albanese’s role as a U.N. special rapporteur is “invalid” and “without any legal effect,” Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, wrote on Monday to António Guterres, the U.N. secretary-general.
jns.org/francesca-alba… 2/ Albanese, who has a long history of anti-Israel bias, began her second and final three-year term on Thursday. Neuer wrote to Guterres that the global body didn’t follow the proper process to extend Albanese’s mandate.

Att: @FranceskAlbs

Dear Ms. Albanese: This letter serves as formal notice that the purported renewal of your UN mandate, as “Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories” is invalid and without legal effect, and therefore null and void.🧵
2/ The purported renewal, announced at the conclusion of the 58th session of the Human Rights Council, was carried out in direct contravention of the governing legislation—as mandated under Presidential Statement 8/PRST/2 and enshrined in Article 7 of the Manual of Operations of the Special Procedures—which requires the President to bring forward to the Council any information of persistent non-compliance with the Code of Conduct for Special Procedure Mandate-Holders.

BREAKING: New Investigation Exposes UNRWA Ties to Terror Groups

👇 US-indicted Hamas terrorist Ali Baraka with UNRWA rep.

See 🧵 below: more shocking examples of the UNRWA-terrorist alliance, documented in UN Watch's new report with 68 exclusive photos. unwatch.org/new-investigat… 2/ At a Beirut meeting in May 2024, UNRWA Commissioner-General @UNLazzarini made a deal with Jihadi terrorist groups by which UNRWA allowed Hamas leader Fathi Al-Sharif to remain as principal of a major UNRWA school, and as the head of the UNRWA Teachers Union.

For years, Al-Sharif had openly glorified Hamas terrorist attacks, including on his Facebook page, and published photos of his fraternization with heads of terrorist organizations. Contrary to its claims of robust neutrality mechanisms, UNRWA for years allowed Al-Sharif to occupy a senior position overseeing thousands of UNRWA teachers and students.

Only when a formal complaint was made to UNRWA by a government, in early 2024, did the agency give Al-Sharif a slap on the wrist by suspending him. Immediately, Hamas and other terrorist groups responded by effectively shutting down UNRWA in Lebanon, mobilizing massive protests by UNRWA teachers and students.

Three months into the shutdown, Lazzarini flew to Beirut and met with the alliance of terrorist organizations who were behind the strike. Local media reported on June 1, 2024 that Lazzarini and the terrorist groups reached “understandings” that would lead to a “positive” result for Al-Sharif, and the strike was called off.

On September 30, 2024, Al-Sharif was eliminated by an IDF missile. Hamas announced that indeed he had been their leader in Lebanon, and eulogized the senior UNRWA figure for his “Jihadi education.”

🚨 At a U.N. debate tomorrow, Hillel Neuer is set to confront the U.N.'s chief propagandist for dictators, Alena Douhan.

🧵 Meet Alena Douhan: The U.N.’s Special Rapporteur against Western sanctions.

She has exploited her U.N. human rights
post to shield the brutal regimes in Venezuela, China, Iran, Syria and Zimbabwe.

She never opposes tyrants, instead always portraying their regime as the victim.

Is ICJ President Nawaf Salam impartial? As Lebanon's UN rep, he accused Israel of "crimes against humanity" and "war crimes." 🧵 2/ As Lebanon's UN rep, current ICJ President Nawaf Salam condemned Israeli "savage assault" and "indiscriminate killing"

BREAKING: Senior UNRWA official is top figure in Hamas. Fathi al-Sharif, head of the UNRWA teachers union in Lebanon, overseeing 39,000 students in 65 schools, is a key figure in Hamas, according to a new report presented to the Dutch parliament . 🧵
unwatch.org/contempt-for-c… 2/ Fathi al-Sharif, a.k.a. Fateh Abo Amin al-Sharif, openly promoted Hamas terrorism for over a decade on his Facebook page—which for now is still active. (See link above.) He mingles with the top Hamas reps in Lebanon. As head of UNRWA's teachers union in Lebanon, everyone knew.

BREAKING: UNRWA staff stealing and selling humanitarian aid, Gazans report
• UNRWA warehouse chief sold 50 cartons of food for $5,000
• Pampers, canned sweets, tissues stolen and sold at UNRWA school door
• UNRWA staff “have their homes full of aid”
unwatch.org/unrwa-staff-st… 2/ Dr. Izzat Shatat: “Open thefts from shelter workers. The director of a school warehouse came with 50 cartons of food distributed in UNRWA schools and sold them to a merchant for $100 per carton. How did he take out this amount of cartons? Where is the administration?”

UNRWA says it faces imminent collapse — "forced to shut down by end of February" — if funds are not unfrozen.

Hmm.. when have we heard this before? 🤔

Let's take a look. 👇 🧵
