Last month, CNN asked UNRWA Director Thomas White was asked about claims that Palestinian schools funded by UNRWA teach hatred of Jews. Reportedly, one young Israeli hostage was held captive in the attic of the home of a UNRWA teacher. White immediately changed the subject to bags of flour:
CNN: A survivor of Hamas captivity said he was held hostage by an UNRWA teacher. What's UNRWA's response?
— Daniel Rubenstein (@paulrubens) December 4, 2023
UNRWA: I can speak about the flour that UNRWA delivers.
CNN: Does it bother you that an UNRWA teacher held somebody hostage?
UNRWA: Every bag of flour is cross-referenced. pic.twitter.com/pN4MlIvJGF
Anything associated with the United Nations should be immediately dismissed. On December 31, UNRWA noted that while most of the world was participating in New Year's celebrations (interrupted by pro-Hamas demonstrators as in New York), the streets of the southern Gaza Strip were "crowded with displacement."

I guess we’ll never know

Something happened somewhere.

"Some people did something."
It wasn't crowded with displacement on October 6th.

Weird. They seemed so happy on 10-7. Jubilant, even.

Nobody knows. It just happened.

What's the deal with this account? Is this a UN-owned account or Hamas-owned? All I see are calls supporting Hamas several times a day.

Maybe they shouldn't have elected a gang of psychopathic, sadistic war criminals as their government.

Also, #AbolishUNRWA.
UNRWA is HAMAS
— Avi Shomer (@AviShomer) December 31, 2023
I’ll bet 100 bucks the hostages and Sinwar will be found in one of these 5 places.
A. Unrwa school
B. Unrwa employees home
C. Unrwa hospital
D. Unrwa run refugee camp
E. Unrwa shelter
Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people, really.

They really shouldn’t have attacked Israel.
— Viktor Hardarson (@ViktorHardarson) December 31, 2023
If you under the banner of Hamas would 1) not have attacked Israel on Oct 7th, 2) not have stolen aid, 3) refused to give back the hostages, and 4) refused to surrender this would not be an issue.

So I guess that whole slaughtering Jews thing didn't go over very well.

How much did Hamas pay you for this ad?

Shouldn’t have propped up Hamas, we wouldn’t be here

Then maybe you should not have supported Hamas before and after the 10/7 attacks.

Your organization needs to be investigated for being complicit to Hamas
— Isac (@Isacb2021) January 1, 2024
Germany recently cut off all foreign aid money to UNRWA because they saw that UNRWA was complicit with Hamas. As with so many freelance journalists, UNRWA is a little bit too "embedded" with Hamas — maybe they could use their connections to tell Hamas to surrender and give up the hostages.
