No traction yet on UNRWA scoops, but I'm not giving up

OK, I admit it: I'm frustrated that I have gotten no traction on my UNRWA exposes over the past two weeks.

A UN agency with a billion dollar budget is covering up information about its teaching hate to hundreds of thousands of students, and I cannot get a single mainstream reporter to cover this. (The only coverage I got was from Algemeiner.)

I tweeted almost all of the Western UN news correspondents, and emailed many of them. Except for one who said he might use the information in the future, nada.

An NRO article from a couple of years ago reveals a little about the "old reporters club" that covers the UN, and how they were trying to expel one rogue reporter who actually asked uncomfortable questions. It seems that the article understates the case.

I'm still trying, and I'm not going to give up so easily on this. Anyone who wants to send my articles on UNRWA over to your favorite columnists, pundits, reporters or politicians, please do so until we get some coverage. And let me know their responses.

Here's a recap of the main articles of the series:
