How Many More UNRWA Terrorist Employees Are There?
(National Post-Canada) Michael Taube - The United Nations, a once-noble institution, has gradually turned into a political cesspool largely controlled by totalitarian states and rogue nations. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Aug. 5 that 9 employees who "may have been involved" in Hamas's Oct. 7 attack against Israel will be fired. This means the agency seemingly disregarded or ignored "detailed information" provided by Israel in July that identified 108 UNRWA employees who were linked to either Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In February, the Israel Defense Forces uncovered a "subterranean data center" underneath UNRWA's headquarters in Gaza City. UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini wrote that the agency "did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza." The Israeli defense bureau for Palestinian civil affairs, COGAT, responded, "Oh, you knew....You chose to ignore the facts so you can later try and deny them." IDF Col. Benny Aharon said, "There is no doubt that UNRWA staff knew that (Hamas) was digging a massive tunnel beneath them. There's a perimeter wall, a gate, cameras, at the gate they log who comes in and out. Whoever worked at UNRWA knew very well who was coming in."
