UNRWA launches probe into 10 staffers amid allegations of antisemitism
[IsraelTimes] UN agency for Paleostinian refugees says group making accusations has history of slandering UNRWA, but admits some staffers’ comments may have violated its code of conduct.

The UN agency for Paleostinian refugees has announced an investigation into allegations of antisemitism and anti-Israel bias made against ten of its staffers throughout the Middle East.

The statement from the United Nations

...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Relief and Works Agency came days after UN Watch — a pro-Israel group that monitors the UN’s activities — published a report alleging that 22 UNRWA staffers had engaged in online incitement.

The UN Watch report found over one hundred posts it deemed in violation of UNWRA’s policy of neutrality and nonviolence from personnel stationed in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, the West Bank, Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...
, Syria and Jordan. Among the posts flagged was one by UNRWA Gaza math teacher Nahed Sharawi, who shared a video of Adolf Hitler
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like...
with inspirational quotes to "enrich and enlighten your thoughts and minds."

Another UNRWA teacher, Husni Masri from the West Bank, posted antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Jews control the world, created the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
and want to destroy Islam, the report found.

In a response to the report Thursday, UNRWA said that only 10 of the 22 staffers cited in the report are employed by the agency and while it noted that UN Watch has "a deep history of unfounded and politically-driven assertions against the agency," it said it would still look into the allegations.

"UNRWA is upholding the values of the United Nations and has a zero-tolerance policy for hatred. The Agency takes each allegation seriously. It has immediately launched a thorough investigation through due process to determine if any of these 10 persons, out of more than 28,000 personnel, violated the Agency’s social media policies that prohibit personnel from engaging in non-neutral behaviors online," it said.

The agency also appeared to acknowledge that some of its staffers crossed a line in their behavior online. "We are concerned that some of the posts violate our rules and policies, and should misconduct be found, UNRWA will take immediate administrative or disciplinary action," it said.

UNRWA said that it had looked into previous allegations made by UN Watch and found that 57 percent of the cases could not be tied to employees of the agency. Those found in breach of its code of conduct were "either censured and/or subjected to financial penalties," it said.

"To suggest that hate is widespread within the Agency and schools is not only misleading and false, but validates sensationalist and politically-motivated attacks that deliberately harm an already vulnerable community: refugee children," UNRWA said.

Responding to the agency’s statement, UN Watch Director Hillel Neuer said it "misses the point entirely."

"If the agency employs dozens of teachers and school principals who quote Hitler and praise Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terrorist attacks, the issue isn’t their social media posts and their so-called ’neutrality breaches,’ but rather the fact that UNRWA’s education system is repeatedly hiring and putting in the classroom teachers that admire Hitler and propagate hatred and terrorism," he said.

Under the administration of previous US president Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
, Washington largely ended funding for the Paleostinian Authority and for UNRWA, which runs a network of educational and medical programs for Paleostinian refugees around the Middle East.

But the Biden crime family administration
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
has resumed funding the agency, adding $150 million in economic aid, while insisting that it would push for reforms within the agency and tolerate zero anti-Israel bias.

Israel has long pushed for UNRWA’s closure, arguing that it helps perpetuate the conflict with the Paleostinians since it confers refugee status upon descendants of those originally displaced around the time of Israel’s War of Independence.

UNRWA, whose 28,000 employees are mostly descendants of refugees, provides services such as education and healthcare to roughly 5.7 million Paleostinians in camps in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon the West Bank and Gaza.
