UNRWA schools ‘hijacked by Hamas,’ watchdog report warns

A leading independent watchdog organization published a report this work, on how the Hamas terrorist movement took control over the education system in Gaza and Lebanon from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The watchdog group — UN Watch — titled its 220-page report "Schools in the Grip of Terror: How UNRWA Allowed Hamas Chiefs to Control Its Education System."

Here's the link to the report:

https://unwatch.org/the-case-against-unrwa/

Just to clarify:

The UN watch is not some human rights organization.

It is actually a small Geneva based right wing group which constatly attacks the United Nations in general, and its human rights council in particular, for alleged bias against Israel while at the same time it is failing to denounce Israeli transgressions against the human rights of Palestinians.

 

Somehow they forget to report about the Israeli schools where Jewish kids are taught that Palestinians are inferior to them and their lives matter lesser if they matter at all.

And by the way what schools are they reporting about? Didn't Israel pretty much destroy all of them?

   In what way are they right wing ?

Hillel Neuer (sorry, if the name is  misspelled) from UN watch brings convincing evidence on UN  and  its agencies like UNRWA  closing an eye and in most cases parroting terrorist propaganda.

Well, I just noticed the report mentioned is from unwatch 😄

Hillel publishes videos on X with really good arguments.

That is correct. United Nations Watch is a watchdog organization, not a human rights organization.

 Indeed. Hillel is an Israeli or one from the diaspora.

Does this qualify him as a right wing extremist?

"attacks the United Nations"🤣

UN is rubbing shoulders with jihadists and left wing extremists and needs to be dismantled

 I am out of here. I don't even engage in discussions on X, whether Jewish kids were taught one thing or another, and whether this is same as teaching kids to unalive Jews.

On and on... I have seen first hand that this dialog doesn't het anywhere.

Just running in circles

I had 2700 followers, this is because I work on something else, and don't have time to create content for more followers.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I will check it out.  However, I don't usually spend a lot of time on boards where I am part of the choir. 

 

The reason I feel it is important to post on boards like AN is to call out antisemitism when it creeps or blasts its way into threads, thereby helping to stop its  "normalization."   Antisemitic slurs become most  dangerous when they are considered as either legitimate or harmless.  Thankfully the Mods and Admin of AN act pretty quickly against the worst examples of posts driven by hatred of Jews.

The founder of UN Watch was Morris Abram, a noted U.S. liberal civil rights lawyer and public servant.  The members of its current board and management  are mostly considered liberals by today's standards.  While some feel UN Watch is favorably inclined towards Israel, it is regarded as classically liberal in other questions.

Interesting, we both have the same motives, yet we are opponents, when it comes to topics like Israel or Antisemitism.

 

I on one side, oppose any kind of racism, no matter if it is against black people, Asian people, middle easterners or Jews, the latter known as antisemitism.

 

I condemn any form of discrimination, no matter if it is based on ethnicity, race or religion and independent if it shows it`s ugly face in form of social actions, beliefs or political systems.

 

You are a Zionist.

Zionists support the idea of a national and independent Jewish state in the Land of Israel, their historic homeland, which they had left or had been driven away from 2000 years ago while others had stayed or moved to since then, becoming the indigenous people.

 

The creation of that Jewish state resulted in the killing of Thousands and the forced displacement of a quarter Million, aka the Nakba, and the permanent suppression of people in the so called occupied areas, by restricting any development, brutally breaking any resistance and never offering them more than a country totally under Israeli control since almost 8 decades.

 

Or the short form: Zionism is a colonial movement demanding an ethno apartheid state, with basic laws clearly privileging the 80% Jewish population.

 

Now, this came with some criticism, especially in the last 2 years when the world was able to at least partially witness, what is really going on in the occupied areas and not what it had been presented by the biased western media in the last decades.

 

And some people on our planet, if not most, might have developed some inner resistance against Zionism, once they really understood what it is.

 

They became Anti - Zionists. And I am one of them.

 

Zionists are trying to smear everyone opposing them by calling them Anti-Semites. 

 

And that is not true.

 

Not every Jew is a Zionist. 

 

Many Jews oppose Zionism, some even on a religious view, stating they are acting against Judaism

 

Not every Zionist is a Jew.

 

Actually Jews are a minority amongst Zionists.

 

There are between 20 and 50 Million Christian Zionists only in the US, who interestingly believe that if all Jews move to the holy land, Jesus will return and make all Jews convert to Christianity and 1000 years of peace will follow.

 

A belief they might want discuss with their Jewish comrades at some point.

 

Opposing Zionism does not mean hating Jews.

 

Kidnapping the word "anti-semitic" and misusing it to justify forced displacement, the flattening of a whole area and the killing of ten thousands of women and children, is actually an anti-semitic act.

 

By calling the criticism of Israel`s crimes of war and crimes against humanity anti-semitic you are turning every Jew on this planet into an accomplice. 

 

For the sake of your own people, stop misusing the word anti-semitic.

You didn't mention white folk so I'll have to assume you are a racist.

Seriously? You read my whole post and all you have to point out is me being a racist? A self hating white?

 

I wrote that I am against any kind of racism, which clearly includes every race and gave a few examples, but never claimed that my list of examples was complete.

 

However you somehow assumed that the absence of white people in that list is a proof that I support racism against them.

 

But you did not mention the absence of other people, like the Aborigines, the native Americans, the Inuit and all the others, who have been hit hard by racism and colonialism.

 

So by your own definition, the true racist here, is YOU.

Hilarious! You support a genocide, a mass murder going on for almost 2 years now, with children intentionally being shot in the head, chest or abdomen, with most of the civilian victims being women and children, and you have the audacity to call me a racist, because I wrote:

I did not even mention all colors, only one: black

 

Asians are yellow, middle easterners are brown, and Jews are, if Mizrahi more brown and if Ashkenazi white people.

 

So I did not miss white. If any, I missed red.

 

 

So it actually is true: every allegation is a confession.

Somjot wrote a very long post, so I'll go straight to his conclusion.

I wish I could open my comment with "For once and for all,"  but that would be wishful thinking.  This is a subject that will come up again and again and again ...*

 

I will use bold enlarged text to emphasize what I have stated several times in the past:  I do NOT believe, nor have I ever written, that all criticism of Israel is antisemitic.   Million of Jews inside and outside criticize the policies of the Netanyahu government, so the notion is absurd on its surface.

 

Moreover, not all criticism of Israel is automatically labeled antisemitic by Zionists.  That's a myth.  Context, not mere criticism, is the determining factor in whether a comment  is antisemitic or not. "Criticism of Israel, its policies, its officials or its treatment of Palestinians is not in and of itself antisemitic.  However, when such criticism is used to delegitimize Israel, or draw upon antisemitic tropes, or apply a double standard by singling out Israel, or demonize Israel, it crosses the line into antisemitism."  https://jfedsrq.org/why-is-criticism-of-israel-considered-antisemitic/

 

I've already posted a lengthy explanation of the myth that all criticism of Israel is labeled antisemitic by Zionists.  I'll include a quote of it below.

 

In conclusion, one of my favorite all-time quotes is particularly appropriate:

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

 

When it comes to antisemitism, the meaning of the word indeed depends on who will be master.  Hamas or the Jews of Israel?

 

The lengthy answer I posted earlier:

I am NOT equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.  I don't believe that, nor have I ever written it in any post.  In fact, I believe the opposite, as I wrote in an earlier post.

 

 

It's the intent of the criticism that determines whether it is antisemitic.  If the goal of the criticism is to persuade listeners or readers Israel has no right to exist as the homeland of the world's Jews,  then it is antisemitic.  If its purpose is only to register disagreement with  the Israeli government's policies and actions or indicate disapproval of some aspects of Israeli society and the lifestyle of its  people, then it isn't.

 

There's one question you can always ask that instantly decides if the answerer is an antisemite:  Does Israel have the right to exist as a sovereign state and homeland for the world's Jews?  It's as simple as "yes" or "no."

 

I'll turn to more authoritative voices than my own at this point.  On its Web site, the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam poses the question,  "Is criticism of Israel antisemitic?" and answers in part:  "Criticism of the policies of Israeli governments is not necessarily antisemitic. For instance, anyone is free to reject or criticise the political decisions of Israeli governments concerning the Palestinian territories – this is not uncommon in Israel itself. However, denying the State of Israel’s right to exist does constitute antisemitism."

 

It goes on to state that "advocating for the rights of Palestinians is not inherently antisemitic," (my bold text) but also notes, "A line is undeniably crossed when Israel’s right to exist contested or when Israel is likened to Nazi Germany."  The answer includes  more detail, so read  about it here:   https://www.annefrank.org/en/topics/antisemitism/all-criticism-israel-antisemitic/

 

And I'll  also quote what is the most authoritative group in the world on the issue of antisemitism, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.  The IHRA working definition of antisemitism includes the following sentences:  "Manifestations [of antisemitism] might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic."

 

The IHRA then gives some examples of what can amount to antisemitism:

• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

There are more examples; you can read them here:  https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism

 

I do equate Greta Thunberg chanting "Crush Zionism" and "From the river to the sea" with  calls for the destruction of Israel, which was founded as a Zionist state  77 years ago.   How could Israel continue as a sovereign state and homeland to the world's Jews if you "crush Zionism" or if the State of Palestine runs "from the river to the sea?"

 

I also pay attention to what Greta hasn't said.  She's never acknowledged Israel's right to exist.  As far as I know, she has never called for the release of the  hostages held by Hamas or other Palestinian groups.  She has said the goal of the voyage of the Madleen is to break Israel's blockade of Gaza. My respect for her would have risen enormously if she'd shed some tears for the hostages and said she'd ask Hamas to free them.  She has sympathy for hungry Palestinians but apparently none for starving hostages.  One of the purposes of the tightened blockade of Gaza is to put pressure on Hamas to release the remaining 23 hostages thought to be alive, the Israeli government has said.
