UNRWA Exists to Push the Delusion that Israel Is a Temporary State

(National Post-Canada) Terry Glavin - Neither Palestinians nor Israelis will know peace until Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the other terrorist groups preying upon Israel are utterly smashed. It's also arguable that UNRWA has been the greater impediment to peace, because its entire purpose is to sustain a huge and ever-expanding population of Palestinian refugees in the delusion that one day, the Jewish state of Israel will be destroyed, and they'll all be free to return to their ancestors' towns and villages. Generations of Palestinians have been brought up in this delusion. The Palestinian identity forged in UNRWA schools relies upon a mythology of unique victimhood, the glorification of violence and martyrdom, and the ineradicable wickedness of the Jews. UNRWA has been fostering and incubating this sociopathology since 1949. Apart from Jordan, the Arab states still refuse to grant "Palestinian refugees" permanent status and integrate them into their societies. To do so would be to tacitly admit the Arab states' loss in the 1940s, Israel's victory, and the permanence of the Jewish state. The U.S. let the Arab states have their way with UNRWA. The liberal democracies provide the bulk of UNRWA's funding. Sooner or later, it has got to go.
