(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - The British government helped to fund the persecution of a British Jew. Hostage Emily Damari said she was held in an UNRWA facility for some of the hellish time she spent in Hamas captivity. The government pumps millions of pounds into UNRWA, used, in part, for the upkeep of buildings like the one in which Ms. Damari was held. Our money went to an organization whose facilities were used to tyrannize a British Jew. British taxpayers helped to fortify buildings in which Hamas committed war crimes. British taxpayers helped to fund one of the dens of antisemitism in which our fellow citizen was held captive for the "crime" of being a Jew in Israel. Where is the outrage? Everyone who has been paying attention knows that UNRWA has been thoroughly compromised by its intimate links with Hamas. Other hostages have likewise said they were held in UNRWA buildings. It's possible some of these hostages were seized by UNRWA's own employees. Intelligence experts believe that up to 10% of UNRWA's staff in Gaza "have links" to Islamist militants. A Telegram channel for 3,000 UNRWA-employed teachers had thousands of messages praising Hamas's pogrom. The liberation of Gaza from both the iron fist of Hamas and the patrician governance of UNRWA is the best thing that could happen to Palestinians.
