Now, Israel’s critics maintain that when Israel retook the land in the 1967 war, it “stole” Arab land. Since the land had been purchased by Jews, the Arabs stole Jewish land, not the other way around.
The murders took place in a neighborhood close to the Shuafat refuge camp, which is operated by The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). UNRWA teaches the “right of return” (that is the destruction of Israel) and glorifies terrorists in its schools. It uses textbooks that are filled with anti-semitic statements. The textbooks also contain incitement to violence and glorify terrorism. In Gaza, UNRWA has been taken over by Hamas. Given the growth of Hamas on the West Bank in recent months, it seems likely that it will take over UNRWA facilities on the West Bank and Shuafat, too. Recently, UNRWA, pleading poverty, asked the United Nations for 1.6 Billion dollars so that it can continue its work.
UNRWA, which serves only Palestinians, has grown dramatically since it was established by the UN in 1950. While accurate numbers are not available, it appears that the number of Arab refugees of 1948, not all of whom required assistance, was somewhere between 472,000 and 700,000 people. Because it serves not only the Arabs who were displaced by the 1948 war but their descendants as well, UNRWA now serves over 5.9 million Palestinians. The entire rest of the world is served by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
It seems the ultimate in hypocrisy, to both condemn terrorism and fund UNRWA, as well.
