They slapped him on the wrist, suspended him for a month or two. He was back running the teachers' union, running a school. And then it emerged in 2017 that he was elected to the Hamas Politburo, together with Yahya Sinwar, who's the mastermind of the October 7th massacre. One of his colleagues on the Hamas committee was this leading figure of education, right?

So it's not somebody who's in charge of giving out bags of food or about... building apartments for people. It's the in charge of education. And we're told that the UN is making sure that the Palestinians are getting educated for peace and human rights. And it's all a lie. So from time to time, they would do fake suspensions a few months ago in

February, they created a supposed inquiry or probe headed by the former French foreign minister, Catherine Colonna. It was a sham. It was rigged from the start. Catherine Colonna is a huge supporter of UNRWA. She brought three Scandinavian NGOs. Each one is a bigger champion for UNRWA than the next. It was all rigged from the start. So you asked me about accountability.

There've been a few pretend gestures, but never have the donors of UNRWA actually ever attempted to do anything serious.

Well, there's money, there's political support. Annually, there's General Assembly at the UN, UN General Assembly resolutions that proclaim their support for UNRWA. So there they get large majorities. So for now, it's going to take a lot. It's going to need defunding by major countries, meaning Germany, France, the UK. They need to get on board on defunding and they have to recognize that.

that the entire raison d'être, the entire purpose of UNRWA, over the years has become twisted. It was founded in 1949, approximately, to actually help resettle Palestinians who had left the region and gone to Jordan after the war. of 1948, 49, and over time, it became the opposite. They haven't resettled a single Palestinian.

Even those who have citizenship in Jordan for 70 years, the UN tells them, you are a refugee, which is absurd. Someone who moved to America 70 years ago and became an American citizen, neither him, his daughter, his grandson, they're not refugees anymore. They're American citizens.

But according to UNRWA, if you were ever a Palestinian, you are forever a refugee and you're going to go to Israel and you're going to dismantle Israel. What they call the right of return, which we know on October 7th means to massacre, violently destroy Israel in order to dismantle it. So As long as that is the purpose of the agency, which that is the purpose of the agency, it is pathological.

There's no way to reform this agency. It is the, people say, who will replace UNRWA? That's like asking, as Dr. Einat Wilfa said, that's like asking who will replace the arsonist. UNRWA is not the firefighter. They're not the ones solving the problems of war. They're the ones creating war. They're perpetuating war. They tell Palestinians in Gaza, Gaza is not your home. Your home is in Tel Aviv.

And so we shouldn't be surprised that UNRWA graduates are those who carried out the massacre on behalf of Hamas on October 7th.
