‘Tainted by Terror’: Israel Bans UNRWA From Operating in Its Territory
29th January 2025
Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon announced Tuesday that his country will ban UNRWA, a Palestinian refugee agency whose members participated in Hamas’s October 7 massacre, from operating in Israeli territory.
“UNRWA has miserably failed in its mandate. It has failed the people who are supposed to benefit from its services,” Danon said in a press conference. “We reaffirm our readiness to cooperate with other U.N. agencies that are not tainted by terror.”
The ban will take effect within 48 hours.
The United States backed Israel’s decision at Tuesday’s U.N. Security Council briefing, with U.S. chargé d’affaires Dorothy Shea saying that shuttering the agency is a step toward giving Gazans a “brighter future.”
And long past time, too. UNRWA is the chief group responsible for ‘Palestinians’ remaining in tent-city poverty rather than emigrating to a neighboring Arab state where they can stop marinating in their sense of grievance and make a better life for themselves and their children. (The Irish are fatally prone to the same psychological debilitation.) UNRWA are the ‘community organizers’ of the jihadist terror movement, the Arab equivalent of Black Lives Matter.
