The article "UNRWA Hires Palestinian Terrorists, Glorifies Violence And Terrorism" by Bassam Tawil presents three main arguments:
Employment of Terrorists: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is accused of employing over 450 individuals affiliated with terrorist organizations, primarily Hamas, in Gaza. This includes staff members who participated in the October 7 attacks against Israel.
Promotion of Violence: UNRWA schools are alleged to disseminate educational materials that incite hatred and glorify violence against Israel. For instance, a poem taught to seventh-graders reportedly calls for the liberation of the Al-Aqsa Mosque from "Satan's aides," referring to Jews.
Lack of Accountability: Despite evidence of these issues, the article claims that UNRWA's leadership, along with the UN Secretary-General, have failed to take corrective actions. This inaction is seen as a disregard for the misuse of donor funds and the perpetuation of anti-Israel sentiments.
