So many better approaches to use than UNWRA! See some great examples here just for starters:

The Israeli government intends to approve a resolution that will identify alternatives to the activities of the UNRWA agency in the capital. The decision was formulated by the Ministry of Jerusalem Affairs, headed by Minister Meir Porush, according to Prime Minister Netanyahu's directive. The decision will say "we decide to task the Ministry of Jerusalem and Israel Tradition to act to provide alternative solutions to the services provided today by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem, and this, including in the field of health and the field of education." The background for the decision is the UN agency's involvement in terrorism and its close ties with Hamas. It should be noted that last week the Knesset simultaneously approved three proposals in a preliminary reading to end ties between Israel and the problematic agency. We suggest that other liberal democratic governments should follow Israel's example by no longer funding a UN organisation that irrationally perpetuates Palestinian refugee status into their 3rd and 4th generation, a status that does not apply to the 35 million genuine refugees worldwide. See the attached video which gives clear evidence of the UN collusion with anti-Semitic Palestinian indocrination. https://lnkd.in/eFFmsk56 Barry Shaw, Israel Institute for Strategic Studies.

In the UAE, #tolerance is a way of life and a key pillar of the government’s policies to protect religious freedoms, promote interfaith dialogue and build an inclusive culture that values difference.    Read more to hear from His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and learn more about the work of the Ministry of Tolerance.     https://lnkd.in/e9FWbH22    #PCHRMembers 

It’s deeply disheartening to see peaceful protesters being met with force instead of understanding. Watching footage of both male and female police officers resorting to aggression during a demonstration pushing, shoving, and even using physical violence is profoundly disturbing. This is not how we foster a society rooted in respect and dialogue. The role of law enforcement should be to de-escalate, not intensify tensions. It’s especially concerning when those in positions of authority reinforce the idea that force is the answer. I urge our leaders to prioritize peaceful discourse over suppression. Real change begins with listening, not silencing. Let’s build a society where every voice is heard and respected. #PeacefulProtest #HumanRights #RespectForAll #SocialJustice #FreedomOfSpeech #JusticeForPalestine #StandWithGaza #Solidarity

Today, 20 November, as in every year, the world marks World Children's Day. This is how we Palestinians will mark the day: 📌We will remember the many #Palestinian #children who are killed and injured daily by #Israel. They lose limbs, starve, lose parents and siblings. They lose their homes, education and future. Many children are also arrested and imprisoned unlawfully, tortured and ill treated. The latest report by OHCHR states that 44% of those killed during the period covered are children. 📌Unfortunately 20th November this year will not be a special day to mark and celebrate rights of Palestinian children. 📌This is how we all must ensure that other countries should mark the day: We all must ensure that many governments around the world must recognise that they enabled #Israel to carry out these massacres through providing #Israel with arms, diplomatic cover and silence! 📌This is how #Israel must mark the day: it must recognise that it committed these crimes. There must be a #CeaseFireNOW #Gaza #Palestine #OPT #Israel #Children #child #civilians #IHL #HumanRights #InternationalLaw #EndIsraeliOccupation #CeaseFireNOW

it is for sure Israel funded country

It’s disheartening to witness peaceful protesters being met with aggression instead of understanding. I saw videos where both male and female police officers were pushing and shoving individuals during a demonstration, with some even resorting to physical violence. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable! It’s especially troubling to see women police officers engaging in such actions, reinforcing the idea that violence is the answer. The male officers also seem to be following suit, escalating the situation instead of de-escalating it. I urge the government to reconsider such tactics and respect the rights of citizens to voice their opinions peacefully. We must foster dialogue, not violence. Change starts with listening, not silencing. #PeacefulProtest #HumanRights #Dialogue

This is the 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤, not 𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐚. There is no 𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐒 here, and long before October 7. The daily life of 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 in the 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤 is a stark example of 𝐙𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦’𝐬 supremacist ideology. 🛑💔 This is the harsh realities faced by Palestinians living under occupation. This is Apartheid Israel, where freedom of movement is severely restricted. Palestinians can’t walk or cross streets freely, they are confined to specific streets and controlled by steel gates. 🚧🔒 The West Bank is an open-air prison, a testament to the oppressive policies and systemic injustice that define the occupation. We must call out these human rights violations and stand in solidarity with those who suffer under this regime. 🌍✊ It’s time to demand freedom, justice, and equality. The world must recognize and act against this apartheid system. 🕊️✊ #WestBank #ApartheidIsrael #HumanRights #FreePalestine #EndTheOccupation #JusticeForPalestine #GlobalSolidarity #NoToOppression

Let’s please not pretend UNRWA is an organization that can be “reformed”. It should be dismantled. I said it before, and I’ll say it again: Some media outlets highlight the participation of UNRWA employees in the October 7th massacre of Jews. These acts are horrifying, and the world should see it and understand what we are up against. With that, there is a much bigger story here, and missing it would dangerously diminish the scale and severity of the problem: The demonic death cult ideology we are up against exists so prevalently BECAUSE of UNRWA. The most significant sector of UNRWA's operations is education. UNRWA oversees one of the largest school systems in the Middle East. Education makes up more than half of UNRWAs budget, and it is where most of its staff are employed. The war in Gaza uncovered abundant findings that firmly indicate that UNRWA intentionally and systematically perpetuated hate against Jews as part of the education system. More than perpetuating hate against Jews, findings point that UNRWA indoctrinated the demonic terrorist-martyr Hamas ideology as an integral part of curriculum. UNRWA education poisoned the minds of an entire population and led to the savagery and suffering we are now facing. The good people of the countries of the world see it plainly now and refuse to be accomplices. Freezing funds and replacing UNRWA with an organization that would not be part of the problem are necessary steps to get us closer to putting an end to terrorism and an end to the sick ideologies those terror organizations are based on. It is encouraging to see the international community send a clear message in actions which speak louder than words: We will not stand for terrorism. We will not be accomplices in the cultivation of diabolic, hateful ideology, and we will certainly not allow our taxpayers’ dollars to fund this. I hope this message continues to hold true. #EradicateTerrorism #StopAntisemitism #StandwithUSA #StandwithIsrael I stand with Israel and the USA.
