  1. The question really is why is there even a UN refugee agency 75 years after the fact? These agencies everywhere else in the world exist to help resettle refugees and are disbanded after a year or two. Only in Gaza is there an agency only for Palestinians that exists for decades on end. They have no interest in resettling refugees, which shouldn't even exist 75 years later, they are keeping Palestinians dependent on them. It should be disbanded, they are not doing Gazans any favor in the long run.

  2. Israel is hell-bent on cutting off every means that gives hope to Palestinians to survive.Israel has been violating all red lines set by international community without facing any serious consequences.Netanyahu is taking full advantages of presidential election.

  3. There's tacit understanding and approval from west to whatever isreali does. Wests show of open disagreements is all staged. There's no truth. West hypocrisy and double standard is appalling.

  4. idris (?) actually told a little bit of truth about UNWRA in this piece. maybe there is hope for f24….

  5. For context, UNRWA employees took part in the killing and kidnapping of Israeli civilians on October 7th 2023. But only around 9 to 12 UNRWA employees were able to be identified.

    There is no doubt UNRWA employees participated in the killings and kidnappings and Israel was only able to identify the few using CCTV and cellphone videos. That means there are more UNRWA employees who took part juat that there is not enough evidence to identify them during the October 7th terrorist attack.

  6. Care to guess why UNHCR handles all refugees except Palestinians and why UNRWA finances are not transparent like in UNHCR.

    Care to guess which refugee group also has the most terrorists attacks like airplane hijackings, suicide bombings and kidnappings since UNRWA was created.

  7. Every country is outraged at the atrocities of the out of control Israeli regime yet all they do is talk. Sanction them, trade embargo, issue the arrest warrants.

  8. Palestinians are the only people in the world that have had been considered refugees for almost 80 years. That's 3 generations, even 4, since their great (or great great) parents were displaced. But besides that it's more than clear that instead of helping solve the Palestinian issue, UNRWA has become part of the problem and enablers of terror. UNWRA schools teach hate and victimhood to the next generation.
