GAZA - 3,000 UNRWA Teachers Terrorists?
A Telegram channel consisting of 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza filled with posts expressing support for the Hamas massacre that took place on October 7 was exposed by a UN Watch report.
Shortly after the infiltration into Israel began, members of the group praised the perpetrators as “heroes,” lauded the education received by the terrorists, shared images of dead or captured Israelis, and called for the execution of hostages.
The chat group contains numerous files containing UNRWA staff names, ID numbers, schedules, and curriculum materials. Despite its intended purpose of supporting UNRWA teachers, the group frequently shares videos, photos, and messages that encourage jihadi terrorism and openly celebrate the Hamas massacre and the rape of civilians.
One example from the report is UNRWA teacher Abdallah Mehjez, who urged Gazan civilians not to heed warnings to move out of harm’s way and instead to serve as human shields. Before UNRWA, Abdallah worked for the BBC.

Arno's Commentary
This excerpt from the Jerusalem Post is more than shocking; the very people who get paid to alleviate any shortcomings or suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, are exposed as terrorists. The UNRWA website explains: “UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and mandated to provide assistance and protection to some 5.7 million Palestine refugees registered with UNRWA across its five fields of operation. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip achieve their full human development potential, pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.”
What is the aim of the UN? A Google search finds, “The main objectives of the United Nations are the maintenance of international peace and security, the promotion of the well-being of the peoples of the world, and international cooperation to these ends.”
While the United Nations is often helpful in many places globally, they have proven to be anti-Israel. No other nation has been condemned by this organization as many times as Israel. Yet in reality, when analyzing the Middle East, Israel is the only functioning democratic nation: a very prosperous society with great achievements when it comes to agricultural science in particular, and in many other areas of scientific expertise. Yet the UN—brought to life after the Second World War—occupies itself continually with the little Jewish nation, Israel.
The segregation of Israel is not because of those who hate Israel or who couldn’t care less, but is based on God the Creator: “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 7:6).
