Facts that you must know about UNRWA.
Facts that you must know about UNRWA.

Did you know that the UN has a separate agency that only serves Palestinians? There is no other people group in the world that gets their own UN agency. This organization is now on the 76th year of its original 3-year mandate. Instead of helping Palestinians settle down and build peaceful communities, for decades UNRWA has used money from generous Western donors to perpetuate the conflict under the guise of “humanitarianism.”

Did you know that UNRWA created its own definition of “refugee” status? In the rest of the world, refugees are people who are forced to flee their country of origin. They are served by the UN’s Refugee agency, which helps them gain citizenship and adjust to their new lives in new places. But UNRWA doesn’t want Palestinians to adjust to reality. If they did, UNRWA would go out of business! Instead it extends “refugee” status to the original refugees’ great-great-grandchildren, and beyond. Thanks to UNRWA, there are scores of Palestinian millionaires who hold multiple foreign passports, yet are still

Did you know that UNRWA runs 278 schools for 291,000 Gazan children? In these schools, the UN teaches Palestinian children that they are “refugees,” even though they are Palestinians living on Palestinian land. UNRWA praises terrorists who kill Jews, celebrates martyrdom, and teaches students that one day Israel will be destroyed.

Did you know that UNRWA almost exclusively hires Palestinians? No Jews allowed! Every other UN agency is staffed by people from around the world. This helps UN agencies maintain genuine “neutrality” in conflict zones that are full of political tension. But UNRWA is unique. Over 99% of its employees are Palestinian nationals. According to Israeli intelligence, approximately 15% of adult males in Gaza have ties to Hamas. But within the staff of UNRWA, it’s 23%. A greater percentage of UN employees in Gaza are Hamas-affiliated than the general populace of Gaza!
NOW is the time to radically restructure UNRWA to stop the ongoing radicalization of Palestinian society. Why? Because Palestinians deserve better than UNRWA.
Help us meet this moment. Sign our petition to STOP FUNDING UNRWA until and unless the agency is radically reformed and restructured.

What happens when well-meaning Western donors feed money to a UN agency that turns a blind eye to terrorism? The numbers tell the story.
On October 7th:

In the wake of these damning revelations, 14 donor countries, led by the United States, have paused their funding to UNRWA, demanding an investigation. It’s a good first step, but this call for an “investigation” could be an invitation to sweep UNRWA’s problems under the rug. Fire a few people, blame the “few bad apples,” rename a few departments, and turn the money spigot back on. Why? Because “UNRWA is the only option.”

UNRWA is the only option because Hamas made it that way. UNRWA developed a monopoly on aid delivery in Gaza because it is the only aid agency in the world that has been willing to play by Hamas’ rules, which are: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
You understand the problem now. You see that we can’t waste this moment. Now is the time to radically restructure UNRWA to stop the ongoing radicalization of Palestinian society.
Why? Because Palestinians deserve better than UNRWA. They deserve food, medicine, and shelter delivered by transparent organizations that are not routinely infiltrated by terrorists. They deserve to receive humanitarian aid and not see most of it stolen by Hamas. They deserve schools that promote coexistence with Jews and other minorities in the Middle East.

Petition to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres
We, members of Latin American communities united by a shared commitment to preserving the memory and dignity of the victims and survivors of the October 7, 2023 attacks, submit this petition to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
On that fateful October 7, Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups carried out a brutal attack against Israel. Innocent civilians were murdered, tortured, and subjected to acts of sexual violence. The victims included women, children, infants, and older adults. That same day, 251 people were abducted and taken hostage in Gaza. Many remained there for more than two years. Only after 843 days was the last hostage remaining in Gaza recovered and returned to Israel. Tragically, many of those abducted did not return alive.
Three years later, amid the persistence of antisemitism and narratives that deny, trivialize, or seek to justify the violence committed by Hamas, we believe that remembrance alone is not enough. Memory also demands accountability and action.
We therefore call on the Secretary-General, before the end of his term, to:
By signing this petition, we reaffirm our commitment to honoring the memory of those who were murdered, standing with those who survived and continue to recover from visible and invisible wounds, and supporting the families who continue to bear the consequences of October 7.
We also reaffirm our commitment to the right of the State of Israel to exist, to the right of the Jewish people to live in security and exercise self-determination, and to the right of all people in the region to live in peace, security, and dignity.
We raise our voices for those who can no longer raise their own.
Remembrance also means action.
Petição ao Secretário-Geral das Nações Unidas, António Guterres
Nós, membros de comunidades latino-americanas, unidos pelo compromisso de preservar a memória e a dignidade das vítimas e sobreviventes dos ataques do 7 de outubro de 2023, apresentamos esta petição ao Secretário-Geral das Nações Unidas.
Naquele fatídico 7 de outubro, o Hamas e outros grupos terroristas palestinos realizaram um ataque brutal contra Israel. Civis inocentes foram assassinados, torturados e vítimas de atos de violência sexual. Entre as vítimas havia mulheres, crianças, bebês e idosos. Nesse mesmo dia, 251 pessoas foram sequestradas e levadas como reféns para Gaza. Muitos permaneceram lá por mais de dois anos. Somente após 843 dias, o último refém que permanecia em Gaza foi recuperado e devolvido a Israel. Muitos dos sequestrados, lamentavelmente, não retornaram com vida.
Três anos depois, diante da persistência do antissemitismo e de narrativas que negam, banalizam ou buscam justificar a violência cometida pelo Hamas, acreditamos que recordar não é suficiente. A memória exige também responsabilidade e ação.
Por isso, solicitamos ao Secretário-Geral que, antes de concluir seu mandato:
Ao assinar esta petição, reafirmamos nosso compromisso com a memória daqueles que foram assassinados, com aqueles que sobreviveram e continuam se recuperando de feridas visíveis e invisíveis, e com as famílias que carregam até hoje as consequências do 7 de outubro.
Reafirmamos também nosso compromisso com o direito do Estado de Israel de existir, com o direito do povo judeu de viver com segurança e autodeterminação, e com o direito de todas as pessoas da região de viver em paz, segurança e dignidade.
Levantamos a nossa voz por aqueles que já não podem fazê-lo.
