Members of U.S. Congress investigating UNRWA for incitement to jihad terrorism

Jun 26, 2016 3:27 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Members of US Congress have launched an investigation into incitement to terrorism in the UN Relief and Works Agency schools.

David Bedein, director of the Jerusalem-based Center for Near East Policy Research, provided material to Congress about UNRWA, which in fact has a long history of terrorism that has been underreported. Bedein has been on its trail for some time. Two years ago, he revealed in a documentary video entitled “UNRWA Goes to War” that there was a close symbiotic relationship between UNRWA and the jihad terror group Hamas, which, of course, promotes virulent hatred against Jews and incites Muslims to violence.

Steven Rosen, former director of foreign policy issues for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, corroborated Bedein’s evidence when he referred to UNRWA as “one of the worst UN agencies, an organization that harbors terrorists, teaches militant conflict with Israel and anti-Semitism in its schools, and perpetuates the Palestinian refugee issue as a source of tension”.

Despite evidence against UNRWA’s link to terrorism, UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness unsurprisingly denies all claims. Yet the preponderance of evidence suggests that he is not being truthful.

Bedein’s organization has released yet another video recently, entitled “The UNRWA Road to Terror: Palestinian Classroom Incitement.” Here’s one UNRWA student’s testimonial, among others, that you’ll read in the article below, taken from the video: “They teach us in school that Jews are fickle, bad people. I am ready to stab a Jew, and drive [a car] over them.”

“‘US Congressmen to investigate UNRWA schools for inciting terrorism'”, by Ariel Ben Solomon, Jerusalem Post, June 20, 2016:

Members of the US House of Representatives are investigating incitement to terrorism in the UN Relief and Works Agency schools, Rep. Doug Lamborn (CO) told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

“Congress has been asking questions about UNRWA for years, and it is important that we continue to do so until we are sure that the curriculum used and the teaching the children receive does not poison their minds,” Lamborn said.

“Textbooks and other materials that delegitimize Israel, denigrate the Jewish people, promote the ‘right of return’ through violent struggle, and glorify martyrdom must be banned.”

David Bedein, director of the Jerusalem- based Center for Near East Policy Research – which has provided material to Congress about UNRWA incitement – said, “Congress is going to begin an official investigation of UNRWA using some of our material to look at creating new standards for the organization.

While they cannot defund or get rid of UNRWA, which is ensconced in the UN,” they can advocate changes be made said Bedein, who also heads the center’s affiliated Israel Resource News Agency established in 1987.

Bedein sees getting rid of the agency as unrealistic and so is pushing for reform, particularly with its education system which promotes “war with Israel.”

The Center for Near East Policy is continually investigating UNRWA to promote accountability and transparency for the organization that serves the purpose of “keeping the Palestinian refugees as such by keeping alive the promise of return.”

Bedein’s organization released a new video, “The UNRWA Road to Terror: Palestinian Classroom Incitement,” showing youth that purportedly attend UNRWA schools voicing support for terrorism against Jews.

One UNRWA student named Arafat, from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat, says in the video, “They teach us in school that Jews are fickle, bad people. I am ready to stab a Jew, and drive [a car] over them.”

Another UNRWA student from Kalandia says, “Stabbing and running over Jews brings dignity to the Palestinians. I’m going to run them over and stab them with knives.”

Nur Taha, an UNRWA student in Kalandia, commented, “With Allah’s help, I will fight for ISIS, the Islamic State.”

UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness responded to the charges, telling the Post, “As with many of Bedein’s previous films, in this latest he takes non-UNRWA facilities and falsely claims they belong to UNRWA. He shows teachers claiming they are from UNRWA when in fact they are not, and he plays the same tricks with students, often misrepresenting what they say in slanted translations.”…

      Didn’t you know that in the HAMAS context
      UNRWA means United Nations Rockets and Weapons Agency?

      Thank you, Mr Bedein!!! Would like both UNRWA and UN to flow away down the drain.

    Some that should have been done years ago: stop all US funding of UNRWA.

        Nobody ever mentions Morocco and it turns out that virtually all attacks in Europe are committed by Moroccan.

    In the meantime, to show their muslim brotherhood support, muslims in Florida gave 87,000 of lump sum donation to mateen’s family and they did this to express their support of mateen’s decision to carry out the most devastating mass-shooting jihad the United States has ever experienced.

      The site is absolutely not credible, check the rest of it by clicking on the front page.

      Also search Google for “Islamic Cultural Center of Villa Heights” that appear in the text.

        We don’t need fake news, there’s enough real issues that should be recognized.

    “Members of the US House of Representatives are investigating incitement to terrorism in the UN Relief and Works Agency schools…”

    How is it that the US Rep’s are investigating the UNRWA? Does the UN not have an internal investigative authority (IA)? Ho, ho, Ha, ha. Perhaps MSF could subcontract their services.

    And (I predict) ABSOLUTELY NOTHIGN WILL BE DONE. In the last war with hamas-it was PROVEN that schools funded by the Useless Nations- which is primarily fuinded by Uncle Sap- were storing rockets and other weaposn for Hamas.

    And nothuign was done EXCEPTY BLAME ISRAEL FOR A ROCKET THAT HIT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS- EVEN THOUGH THE EVIDENCE SHOWED THAT HAMAS FIRED THE ROCKET.

    And if assholes like George Will, Glenn Beck and other Trump haters get theri way. and Clinton gets erected (ie-to screw the entire country and all free and freedom ;loving people) even less will be done and terroism will increase exponentially.

    “Stabbing and running over Jews brings dignity to the Palestinians. I’m going to run them over and stab them with knives.”

    Dignity? The savages have definitly got the wrong end of the stick. Jews get dignity by winning Nobel prizes. Paleostinians get dignity by running over, or stabbibg and killing Jews.

    Bring on Crusades 2 and lets do the job properly this time.

    I’m sure, just from association and proximity to the U.N. proper, that the UNRWA is a terrorist supporting, America hating, subversive, outfit that is working with the Arab run UN to turn all non muslim nations into head banging, butt waving, sharia compliant, third world cesspools.
    Nothing the U.N. does or has done has turned to be anywhere near what was touted. What usually happens is that some close relative of some influential U.N. official, runs off with the money.
    It has happened before and will happen again.

    Having read a lot about the UNRWA and its connection with terrorism in Israel, I am thrilled that Congress will be looking at it. I hope that Congress will stop sending any money to the U.N. until they straighten out their act. At least in that we way we can partially defund this terrorist group.

    United Nations Rocket Warehousing Agency. – The same UN organization that Canadian PM, J. Trudeau, gave millions of dollars of Canadian taxpayer money to within days of getting elected.

    Is Trudeau a secret Muslim supporter?

    Is Trudeau secretly a Muslim?

    What is he hiding?

    He campaigned on “openness and transparency” but has been anything but. So many campaign promises have turned out to be lies. Lies like the 25000 Syrian immigrants which now total over 40,000 and counting.

    Why is he quietly filling Canada with Syrian invaders?
