UNRWA human rights worker laughs at Israelis fleeing a terrorist

Nahla Holly works in UNRWA's Human Rights program in Gaza.

She posted this on Facebook, making fun of a video of Israelis fleeing a terror attack in Jerusalem.

She wrote, "Ha-ha-ha, look at the difference between us and them... when the rockets were falling on our houses, the children would run there in order to collect copper and aluminum."

Yes, a UNRWA human rights worker thinks that Jews running for their lives is funny. Because Jews aren't quite human and deserve no rights in UNRWA's world.

This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 11 years and over 22,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.

Hypocritical @UNRWA extends contract of "youth ambassador" who sings of violence

UNRWA's "youth ambassador," the 2013 Arab Idol winner Mohammad Assaf, has released music videos and posted on Instagram about his support of rock throwing, firebombs and other violence against Israeli Jews.

This has been reported by me, UN Watch and Fox News.

UNRWA, of course, claims to take all reports of incitement and lack of neutrality very seriously. In August, Chris Gunness said "Where we find credible allegations of neutrality violations among our staff, we investigate and where it's appropriate we take disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. And that process is audited by our major donors."

Chris Gunness is full of crap.

Because UNRWA just extended Mohammed Assaf's contract to be its "youth ambassador" to incite more teens to stab, stone and firebomb Jews.

And yet the US just pledged another $123 million to this corrupt, lying and terror-supporting organization.

.@UNRWA doctor: "Death to you, O sons of Zion"

Here's another peaceful message from an UNRWA employee on Facebook, from the first days of the 2014 Gaza war:

The message of "Death to you, oh sons of Zion" is helpfully translated into Hebrew.

Interestingly, this doctor says that he worked at Shifa Hospital, which was Hamas headquarters during the war.

But UNRWA would say that his message has mellowed since then, as this post from October only implies throwing rocks:

Today's loving @UNRWA teacher

Zia al Talouli is a teacher for UNRWA at the Beit Hanoun Elementary School in Gaza.

He has a lot of love in his heart.

His Facebook page is called "Abusamer Love."

See how much love he has for his charges:

He also loves the idea of stabbing Jews :

Finally, he loves the idea of Palestinian unity - in killing Israelis:

The gun says "The Palestinian reconciliation," and the flag "The Israeli occupation."

See how much love this UNRWA teacher has! What do you think he is teaching his students?

(h/t Ibn Boutros)

.@UNRWA worker wants to see lots of dead Jews

Ali Esbaita (Wael?) identifies as a UNRWA worker in Gaza. He includes photos from his workplace in his Facebook timeline.

On Facebook, he posted this:

The caption says ""Oh Allah, make their dead as many as those who say 'amen'"

His comment:

"Oh Allah, bless our master Muhammad as many times as is the number of the Jews that have been killed and will be killed... Bless the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers (Muhammad)"

He has another similar post where he hopes to see more Jews crying over their dead:

Given that he works at a progressive organization as UNRWA, he naturally is very supportive of women's rights:

So - will UNRWA discipline him, as they promised to for those who violate its "neutrality" policy?

(h/t Ibn Boutros)

A little more @UNRWA worker antisemitism

From the Facebook page of UNRWA worker Othman Al Nashash:

The implication is that Jews have no real roots in Israel, while the Palestinians do, and a simple slingshot proves how easily the frightened Jews run away.

This @UNRWA teacher hides her job so she can post hate

Here's an interesting case.

Someone with the nom de plume of "Ãląą Türĸmąņ" on Facebook puts her job as "‎Ñø-ŧĥìñğ at UNRWA and ‎Teacher at ‎مدرسة بنات عسكر الاولى‎‎‎."

The school, which is the Askar Girls Primary School, is an UNRWA school in the Askar UNRWA camp near Nablus.

Here's something she posted a few days ago:

The caption says “Beware of the harm of the Palestinian when he gets angry.”

Her comment is "Get angry, by Allah, I have never seen someone more beautiful then you when you get angry, Get angry, the spark suits your eyes, the flame in them (your eyes) seduces/tempts me, Get angry, it is the fire of the revolution, you are its fuel and its firewood"

Apparently, she is trying to be cute by saying she is "nothing at UNRWA" but in fact she is an UNRWA teacher - and she posts incitement.

(h/t Ibn Boutros)

.@UNRWA worker didn't get the "neutrality" memo

Hossam Ghali is a staff nurse at UNRWA in Gaza.

On Facebook, here was one of his profile pictures:

It looks like UNRWA didn't manage to get the message to everyone that their jobs are supposedly in jeopardy if they post messages that violate UNRWA's stated neutrality rules.

.@UNRWA school principal loves Islamic Jihad terrorists - and their gun-toting mom

Rawdah Hamideh has been an UNRWA school principal in Jordan for 25 years.

There is no doubt that she works for UNRWA.

Last year she posted this on her Facebook page:

The caption says:
In red: “A woman walks with five of her sons behind her”
In black: “What a woman you are… Are you the Khansaa of Palestine? Maybe your femininity will teach the Arab rulers what is manhood, oh mother”

Rawdah obviously feels that terrorists are the only real men in "Palestine."

And her opinions shape the attitudes of everyone in an entire UNRWA school.

Elder gets results - and @UNRWA teachers are angry that they cannot post incitement and Jew-hatred

We have seen UNRWA claim to be acting against incitement by its teachers on Facebook and other social media that I discovered and that was publicized by UN Watch.

I did notice that it is more difficult to find antisemitic and terror-supporting posts by UNRWA teachers in the past week or so.

Now I found an article that shows that UNRWA did indeed warn the teachers not to post hate.

Al Araby had an article on the issue last week.

Sources from UNRWA in Palestine for "al Araby" said that Israel monitors Agency staff accounts and documents any posts from them that are attacking the occupation forces, or attacking the Agency. They name names and their positions, thus UNRWA staff, especially teachers, have come under control by the State of the occupation on the one hand and the Agency on the other.

I'm not aware of any Israeli program to look for UNRWA incitement, only me and UN Watch, which means that UNRWA teachers think I control them!

Sami Mshasha, Arabic spokesperson for UNRWA, told Al Araby, "Everyone in the agency knows the concept of neutrality in all cases, and the employees must do their duties as fully as possible within specific parameters in order not to weaken its services to refugees."

UNRWA isn't telling teachers that antisemitism and supporting stabbing Jews is wrong. Just that it makes UNRWA look bad.

The teachers have called this a "harassment policy" which UNRWA decided to pursue, because the Palestinian teacher would feed their disciples in the spirit of the defense of the Palestinian territory and encourages them in any anti-Israeli attacks, in order to create a generation defending their land. There are now growing fears about control of teachers in their schools, that they are held accountable if they tell their students about violations of the occupation. This could threaten the future of thousands of teachers and workers in other sectors.

If I am understanding this paragraph correctly, it means that UNRWA teachers are known to routinely go outside the official curriculum and incite against Israel, and now they are upset that this might threaten their jobs.

The director of one of UNRWA schools west of Gaza City, who preferred anonymity, told Al Araby that he was "surprised that UNRWA management notified teachers not to publish any entries against the occupation, to keep their jobs and livelihood." This upsets him, pointing out that "it is natural thatthe teachers and staff at the agency express their solidarity with their country's territory and attack the occupation. Their country wa usurped and this must be taken into account." He adds that the teacher are leaders, and should enhance the values of belonging to a nation.

Showing that UNRWA employees cannot distinguish between expressing political positions and encouraging murdering Jews. I didn't bother to publicize political posts, or even posts that were upset at Israeli actions, real or not.

It should be noted that some of the most influential leaders of the Palestinian resistance were teachers in UNRWA schools who were able to perform their work without any restrictions on political freedom, and they are active politically.

There's a UNRWA accomplishment that the agency doesn't brag about on their website!.

Mohammed Mustafa (not his real name) is one of the teachers who received a warning from UNRWA management in the event that he continues his support of the current uprising, the issues of Jerusalem and attacking the occupation. His postings were documented and sent to the management of the Agency in Palestine. One of the posts said, "The Occupiers claim we are terrorists when we stab illegal settlers, and do not talk about the arson and murders committed by them." He said: "If it comes to this point that we cannot express any opinion, this would not work." From that moment, he did not express any position on any social networking site, describing himself as a "citizen living without feelings." Mustafa points out that this issue at present affects a large number of teachers, especially since they had received Agency warnings.

Despite the fact that social networking sites have served the Palestinian cause, we cannot turn a blind eye to their drawbacks . The occupation can monitor some activists and staff in various sectors, and keep track of most of their activities and their views on issues related to the occupation. According to sources from UNRWA for al-Araby, "An employee can express his position on an issue, according to his personal point of view; I do not mind it. But to associate it with his career in the Agency is not desirable and he may be held accountable for it. This is part of our labor contracts. "

It sure looks like my work has gotten results. Many of the people I exposed have taken out their association with UNRWA in their profiles, and others took their pages down altogether.

This article shows that rather than being a tiny number of teachers who violate UNRWA policies as was claimed, it is likely thousands of them, although not all on Facebook - but in the classroom itself.

The Israeli organization "Sons of Zion" monitors and tracks the number of UNRWA staff accounts, and says there is "incitement by the staff of international organizations in the Gaza Strip, and lack of respect for international conventions and processes." It has already filed a lawsuit against the agency, claiming that staff incites against Israel on behalf of the agency.

I have no idea who they are referring to here. I don't think it is me, since I never threatened a lawsuit, but I've never heard of this organization. But maybe it is me and they just badly mistranslated my posts.

.@UNRWA's Commissioner General contextualizes hate, ignores incitement, shows his own bias

Yesterday, UNRWA commissioner-general Pierre Krähenbühl gave a speech to the UN General Assembly. He briefly mentioned the issues that I have discovered of UNRWA teachers posting hateful messages on social media (no hat tip to me, though!):

UNRWA continues to operate in a highly polarized environment where emotions frequently run high. We enforce neutrality within our organization, but we are not immune from the context. There have recently been allegations of inappropriate statements by UNRWA staff, notably on social media. Let me state here unambiguously that UNRWA condemns any form of anti-Semitism or racism and its position on this issue is a matter of public record. We take every allegation seriously and when credible investigate it and will continue to take disciplinary actions as required.

Notice how Krähenbühl changes the issue from UNRWA's stated position of "neutrality" into only condemning racism and antisemitism. And how he even "contextualizes" the hate by saying that "emotions run high." But he doesn't mention incitement to murder Israelis. Is that OK or not?

Moein Elmasry works for UNRWA in Rafah.

He posted this video encouraging Arab men and women to attack Israel.

And he also posted this video cartoon showing the murder of the Henkins.

(The second video is self-congratulatory about the morality of the terrorists for not murdering the Henkin children. In fact, there were four children in the backseat, and the prevailing theory is that the terrorists fled when one accidentally shot another one and they took him to the hospital.)

Are these videos a violation of "neutrality?"

But Krähenbühl himself violates his own mandate. Look how he describes the current wave of violence aimed at killing Jewish men, women and children, and Israel's response to defend them:

In the West Bank including East Jerusalem, the upsurge in violence and protests in recent weeks has had a direct impact on Palestinians, with some 71 fatalities and over 7,500 injuries reported in the first month of unrest that began on 1 October. During the same period, eight Israelis were killed and 126 injured. As the Deputy Secretary-General said at the Security Council's quarterly Middle East debate a few weeks ago in commenting on the reasons why the situation had deteriorated, the crisis would not have erupted if the Palestinian people, among others, had a perspective of hope towards a viable Palestinian state, an economy that provides jobs and opportunities, control over their legal and administrative processes and did not live under a stifling and humiliating occupation that has lasted almost half a century. UNRWA is shocked by the upsurge in violence that has affected Palestinian and Israeli civilians and the pattern of deadly force against Palestinians, the increase in the use of live ammunition in and around refugee camps, the expansion of settlements, the increase in settler violence towards Palestine refugees, and the displacement of refugees by demolitions and destruction of structures.

Krähenbühl gives reasons to "understand" Arabs murdering random Jews, saying that it is because of "hopelessness," , but he provides no such understanding of Israel defending its citizens. He doesn't mention how many of the 71 Palestinians were killed while directly in the act of while attacking Jews. He says that violence has "affected Palestinian and Israeli civilians" but there is a "pattern of deadly force against Palestinians."

He is about as neutral as Hamas.

Beyond that, the claim that there would be no terror if the Palestinian Arabs had "hope" is ludicrous. Here is an article from August 15, 1938, one of dozens:

Was this, and the hundreds of other attacks against Jews before 1948, also from "hopelessness?"

No. It is pure Jew-hatred. And this antisemitism is not only from UNRWA teachers, but from UNRWA itself, as I have documented (sites that have been since removed.)

How can someone as clearly biased as Pierre Krähenbühl be trusted to be able to run an agency that is supposed to be politically neutral? By UNRWA's own standards, Krähenbühl is violating the neutrality rule.

Yet UNRWA claims to be able to self-regulate its employees.

It is a joke.

This @UNRWA student is sure proud of Hamas terrorists

Muhannad Barhoum identifies himself as an UNRWA student in Rafah.

His profile picture is not of him, but someone likely to be his brother, Abdullah Fayez Barhoum.

Abdullah was apparently killed in a tunnel on July 8, 2014.

Here is his martyr's video, also posted by UNRWA student Muhannad:

If Abdullah was Muhannad's brother, chances are that Abdullah was also an UNRWA student. Which shows how good a job UNRWA does in teaching peace.

But young Muhannad was well on his way to applying the principles that he has learned in UNRWA schools even before Abdullah's timely death. His very first profile picture on Facebook, in 2013, was of Ahmed Jabari, Hamas' Qassam Brigades' second in command, killed by Israel during Pillar of Defense: And his second profile picture was of Hamas' founder Sheikh Yassin.

.@UNRWA worker celebrates "wedding" of two terrorists

Nisreen Jaradat is a social worker for UNRWA. He may be related to Raed Jaradat who was shot while carrying out a stabbing attack against Israeli soldiers near Hebron a couple of weeks ago.

He recently published on Facebook this poster "celebrating" the "wedding" of Raed to Daania Arshid, another terrorist.

He also posted video of the "wedding" as the parents of the happy dead couple danced.

.@UNRWA worker shows how much he wants to live in peace

The cover image of the Facebook page of UNRWA staff nurse Adnan Hammash:

HERE WE WILL STAY

In Lidda, in Ramle, in the Galilee

We shall remain.

Like a Wall on your Chest

And in your Throat

Like a Shard of Glass, a Cactus Thorn

And in your Eyes

A Sandstorm

Notice that the places named are all inside the Green Line.

Meaning that this UNRWA worker believes that Arabs will keep attacking Jews as long as Jews remain in power in Israel.

Nothing to do with Al Aqsa or "occupation" or "settlements."

It all has to do with Jews.
