Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hamas sleeper cell and Islamic Jihad discovered working together inside UNRWA

Jun 25, 2019 1:15 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The head of UNRWA’s employees’ union in the Gaza Strip is a fairly anonymous Hamas official who has been placed by the terror organization inside the agency as a “sleeper” who can use the organization’s resources for Hamas’ purposes.” Alarming news considering the enormous global funding going into UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees);  and in fact into other jihad terror groups who manipulate “charities” that claim to aid the ever-expanding Palestinian refugee “crisis.”

If Western funding for all jihad terror organization (and all of their affiliates) ended, the jihad mission against Israel and against the West would be substantially stymied.

While many Western governments have rightly condemned state-funding of terror, they too have found themselves reeled in, in the name of humanitarianism, to fund the same jihad terror. Only Donald Trump has been taking an active role in ending such funding. For example, he pulled out of the Iran Deal, cut hundreds of millions in ‘aid’ to Pakistan; and while America was UNRWA’s biggest single donor, last year, the U.S. ended all funding for UNRWA. The U.S. State Department described the agency as “irredeemably flawed.” UNRWA was found to be inciting anti-Israel sentiment within its Jerusalem schools. Arab children were “being taught that they will one day destroy Israel and replace it with a Palestinian state.” The Palestinian jihad terror mission continues to thrive on Western taxpayer dollars.

UNRWA has objected to its staff belonging to Hamas or other terror organizations but has not taken decisive action on its own initiative to enforce its objections.

“Exposed: Hamas Has a Sleeper Cell Inside UNRWA,” by Baruch Yedid, Jewish Press,  June 24, 2019:

The head of UNRWA’s employees’ union in the Gaza Strip is a fairly anonymous Hamas official who has been placed by the terror organization inside the agency as a “sleeper” who can use the organization’s resources for Hamas’ purposes, TPS has learned.

The United Professional List recently won the elections for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees’ (UNRWA) employees union.

Arab media reported that the event was perceived as a victory for Islamic elements in the Gaza Strip and underscored the failure of their opponents on the Fatah list. The List, a joint Hamas-Islamic Jihad organization, won 22 of the 27 seats.

Amir al-Mashal, who as already served as head of the UNRWA employees union in Gaza, led the List to its latest victory.

Salameh Shalakh, an Islamic Jihad official, admitted that the List was “a union of Islamic organizations.”

The United Professional List has previously served as a non-for-profit Islamic organization but has been listed as a political organization since Hamas took control of the Strip in 2007.

This group ran for the Palestinian Authority (PA) parliament in 2006 and in the municipal elections in 2005 and now serves as the firm basis for Hamas’ regime.

Gazan officials estimate that Al-Mashal is a “sleeper” agent, a Hamas member placed at a key position from which he can use the organization’s resources for the terror group’s needs.

Dr. Suhail al-Hindi, a member of Hamas’ Political Politburo, served as chairman of the UNRWA employee union before al-Mashal.

Al-Hindi served as a senior member of UNRWA, which is funded by the U.S. and the European Union and which is responsible for disseminating support to hundreds of thousands in Gaza while serving as a senior Hamas member, designated by the U.S. as a foreign terror organization.

After his appointment to Hamas’ leadership, al-Hindi issued a series of denials claiming he had not been elected to Hamas’ bureau. He even claimed he planned to sue those responsible for the reports.

UNRWA has objected to its staff belonging to Hamas or other terror organizations but has not taken decisive action on its own initiative to enforce its objections.

UNRWA suspended al-Hindi after it was discovered that he had been elected to Hamas’ political leadership and even Israel exerted significant pressure.

    Long, long ago, the Birch Society had highlighted that the UN was a danger to the free world, and that the US in particular was its target.* The Society coined the slogan, Get US out of the UN, and the UN out of the USA.

    This was not a popular position in the 1960s nor for many years following. But slowly the UN has revealed its purpose, to be an instrument of total control.

    The necessity of that slogan has been applicable from the day it launched to this very day. Here’s how to get involved,

    https://www.jbs.org/action-projects/get-us-out-of-the-united-nations

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_withdrawal_from_the_United_Nations

    *Just to give a recent example. On 06/24/19 JW posted an article,

    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/06/un-poised-to-launch-global-ban-on-speech-that-insults-muslims

    This is direct assault on our Constitution, our traditions, on the idea of limited government. How many attempts has the UN taken to disarm all the peoples of the world. Again, only the USA is the target because of our 2d Amendment.

    Israel was planned by the League of Nations. On 11 May 1949, the General Assembly by the requisite two-thirds majority approved the application to admit Israel to the UN by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 273.

    UNWRA should have its funding cut until they stop inciting terrorism.

      UNRWA shouldn’t even exist at all–what other “refugee” agency exists over seventy years after the conflict that sparked its creation?

      This would be like having a similar agency to settle WWII refugees still around in 2016–in fact, this would have been *less* absurd, both because millions more were involved, and they were *actual* refugees.

        The UN has always been corrupt and could NEVER be trusted. I am glad Pres Trump has recognized this treasonous organization for what it is! Hopefully we can evict them
        from the USA soon! And stop all US funding too!

    All such “Horror News” are proofing, that many branches of the so called “United Nations” are and will be more infiltrated by islamic extremists.
    The two 2018 at Marrakech signed UN-Migrations-pacts/agreements are nothing else, but another invitation to Islam, to further conquering Europe and the U.S.A., but Mr. President Trump refused to sign the unilateral pro Islam-Pact.
    Unfortunately, Palestine, among others, is a very much – by islamic and other organisations used – islamic base against the civilized world.

    Years before he was elected, I hoped Trump would buy the UN building and develop it. But before we were to close the UN, our troops would have gone into the building in a surprise blitz to get all of the anti-US and anti-Israel and anti-humanitarian documents and criminals. Clean up the mess and replace it with great development.

      Rob. You might want to study history before you declare Israel as illegitimate!
      And studying WWII and the Holocaust would be extremely helpful too!
      Just a suggestion …….

    Ahh the UN at work again. The organization is a front for Moslems, has been for decades. When the UN is not making its pro-Islam contribution to the planet, they’re attempting to take it over with the lever of the fake science Climate Change racket.

    It might be best to just shut the UN down, and replace it with a new organization with an entirely new staff to fulfill more limited role.

      Jun 25, 2019 at 5:08 pm

      For sure, I totally agree – Western Countries tax payers money should not be given to UNRWA or any UN affiliate while the UN is back stabbing us all and seeking to appease the OIC and ban our right to criticize Islam

      “The organization is a front for Moslems…”

      TRUE…

      Come to think of it, when was the last time the United Nations took a stance against Islam ???

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        Jun 26, 2019 at 12:22 pm

        I never thought of that. The answer of course is NEVER, unless you include the pro forma “it’s all so tragic” official statements it issues after a particularly nasty Jihad mass murder but condemning only the terrorists in the abstract without attributing the cause of the incident to someone.

  8. Barb says

    Jun 25, 2019 at 5:04 pm

    UNRWA has forfeited it’s credibility and should be defunded and shut down!
    The UN Secretary General should also be held to account for allowing this to happen!

    Another brief summary and history of how Hamas rules the roost of UNREWA.

    According to The Guardian, Hamas has in some cases threatened UN staff in Gaza; the former UNRWA chief in Gaza, John Ging, has survived two assassination attempts.[91] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNRWA

    It seems that is one of the reasons why UNREWA complies to Hamas, just a little bit of judicial Jihad.

    No one should be surprised by this. UNRWA has been enabling Jihad for decades now.

    When will the west begin targeting Islam as a warring belief system that has nothing to do with God. Sharia is clearly made by a Satanic cult. Islam is evil no matter how a person slices and dices it.
    It’s why they prey to Allah and not God like other religions of the book. Europe is in deep trouble and if they don’t start fighting back, the end of their civilization is right around the corner.

  12. Raja says

    Islamic think tank is so broad minded. For them the world is their game, they punch holes everywhere, they always are in combat mode making everything under the sun redundant. ONLY Islamic terror must work and survive and the rest can go to hell.

    Whilst most Muslims are peaceful their intend might not be peaceful as they are knowingly or ignorantly in bed with bombers, killers, rapists. The blame rests only on Islam and its gory texts.

    All entities related to Islam must be closely watched and constantly scrutinized until they are forced to shut. There are 1000 ways to deal with the dreaded Islam.

    • Paul J says

      Jun 25, 2019 at 10:06 pm

      As far as I’m concerned the only peaceful muslims are MINO’s (muslims in name only) who because of ” death to apostates” are too scared to declare they are in fact ex muslim. The trouble is you can’t tell who is who so therefore you have no option but to treat them ALL with suspicion. With courtesy and civility yes ( I’m not like them) but a healthy dose of suspicion at the same time, and never offer them your back. I would trust a str ange dog before I would trust a smiling muslim. It’s safer that way. I wish it wasn’t so but they give us/me no choice.

    Funds to so called Islamic refugees have served as candies to ever whining kids whose intend is to milk the cow (kafir) to the hilt. The Left won’t mind that but would not give a glass of water to the thirsty or a piece of bread to the hungry. They have always been that way.

    Psalms 14
    1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good.
    Proverbs 12
    15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

    Isaiah 32
    6 For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.

    God foreknew what the Left is capable of. The Demoncrafts and its shades are a good example of that.

    and someone is surprised?

    90% 0f UNRWA employees are arabs living in Gaza and Judea Samaria

  15. R Russell says

    Jun 26, 2019 at 9:21 am

    Nothing new here.
    UNRWA kept weapons in their schools, clinics etc and fired rockets from their buildings in Gaza and then blamed the IDF when they destroyed the buildings.
    The gullible blame Israel.

    Wherever there are Muslims, there are Sleeper Cells. Don’t even doubt that.
