@UNRWAUSA uses a dead Islamic Jihad terrorist as a prop for fundraising

I received a fundraising letter from UNRWA USA, written by its "Director of Philanthropy," Hani Almadhoun.It included this section: For my family, word got out that a 26-year-old relative lost his life. In a rush to report the news, they shared an image of his younger brother, and confusion followed. Later it was confirmed that our cousin was indeed the victim of...

UNRWA-USA tries to cash in on Beirut explosion

From a fundraising email from UNRWA-USA: On Tuesday, a massive explosion in Lebanon tragically destroyed or damaged nearly half the capital city of Beirut, left at least 137 dead, thousands injured, and reportedly 300,000 homeless. Before the blast, this tiny, famously-resilient country, which hosts more refugees per capita than any country worldwide,...

Now @UNRWA even brags that American citizens are "Palestine refugees" with USA propaganda campaign

Last year, UNRWA-USA - the American fundraising arm of UNRWA - started a "UNRWA Alumni" program to get people who grew up in the Middle East, going to UNRWA schools, to proudly say that they are "Palestine refugees."The video is terrible and hard to understand, but each of the people speaking identify themselves as "Palestine refugees" - and are American citizens.<iframe...

UNRWA-USA blames Israel for Abbas cutting services to Gaza

UNRWA-USA executive director Abby Smardon writes about her recent visit to Gaza. Of course, her preferred place to publish is the rabidly anti-Israel Mondoweiss: I’ve visited the Gaza Strip for each of the past six years, including in 2014 a few months after Israel’s devastating military assault. And yet, I’ve never seen Gaza like I did when I had the privilege of visiting this summer. I call it a privilege because, due to the blockade of Gaza...

The alternate universe of @UNRWAUSA's Israel haters

Last night was the Institute for Middle East Understanding annual gala. The Israel-hating, terror-supporting members of UNRWA-USA attended and tweeted about the event. team @unrwausa is at @theimeu gala! be sure to stop by and say hello! https://t.co/zvnwKFtYt2 — lena badr abdelhamid (@lenambadr) May 3, 2016 They were very happy to have a chance to see BDS activist...

.@UNRWAUSA goes to anti-Israel groups to hire interns

Earlier this year this site (and others) exposed the fact that essentially every employee of UNRWA-USA expressed anti-Israel views on social media. All of those accounts were made private or taken down as a result. Just in case you need more evidence that American Friends of UNRWA is an anti-Israel organization, meet their intern from last summer, Hashem Abi Sham'a: He...

Another @UNRWAUSA worker shows her hate for Israel (before hiding it) (UPDATE)

Yesterday, I reported that UNRWA-USA communications director Laila Mokhiber took down her Twitter account after it was found to have anti-Israel posts that violate UNRWA's standards. It appears that nearly all of UNRWA-USA workers have now made their Twitter feeds private, frightened by what others would have discovered that would embarrass their already embarrassing agency. But...

UNRWA-USA communications director tweets hate for Israel (UPDATE)

(See update below) Remember how UNRWA pretends to be non-partisan? UNRWA-USA communications director Laila Mokhiber sent out this tweets showing her support for "Israeli Apartheid Week:" Not exactly objective, is it? As soon as Avi Mayer tweeted about it, she protected her account from being seen publicly: And soon thereafter, it was gone! And this is a communications...

The anti-semitism underlying UNRWA-USA fundraising

Here is UNRWA's chart describing the number of registered "refugees" under its purview in each of the five areas it works. If you look at the American Friends of UNRWA fundraising site, however, you find that there is a hugely disproportionate effort meant to appeal to help less than half the people in the chart. UNRWA-USA is hosting four separate 5K runs this year, specifically...
