Israel raids UNRWA job center, shuts schools in East Jerusalem after agency banned
|
[IsraelTimes] UN refugee body says police, Jerusalem officials storm Qalandiya vocational training facility with tear gas and sound grenades; two schools said to defy order to shutter
Israeli forces raided a vocational center and shuttered three East Jerusalem schools, the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees said Tuesday.
The actions, which the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Relief and Works Agency said affected some 600 students, were the latest move by Israeli authorities to banish the body from operating in its territory.
According to UNRWA, police and Jerusalem municipality staff entered the Kalandia Training Centre by force Tuesday morning, firing tear gas and sound grenades and ordering its evacuation. It said 350 students and 30 staff were present during the raid on the job-training facility, which is located just outside the Qalandiya refugee camp bordering East Jerusalem.
Police and city officials also ordered the closure of three other schools in East Jerusalem attended by around 250 children, UNRWA said. Two of the schools, which were not named by UNRWA, reportedly continued operating despite the order.
A spokesperson for the Israel Police said officers were carrying out an order from Jerusalem City Hall. A spokesperson for the municipality could not be reached.
In a statement, UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini called the moves "a violation of the basic right to education as well as of United Nations privileges and immunities."
What the children are getting in those schools is brainwashing, with a side order of education skills. They’re taught to dream of dying while killing Jews. The wonder is that relatively so few act on their training. "Children’s access to education must be preserved and United Nations facilities must be protected and respected at all times wherever they are," he said.
If the UN were worth respecting, they would not need to demand it. Roland Friedrich,
…is he double dipping on the Hamas payroll, too, or on the PLO one? UNRWA director for the West Bank and East Jerusalem, said the raids were "unacceptable" and a "denial of the right to education for children and trainees."
It’s time for Israel to step up and provide a proper Israeli education for these kids; it’s become clear that leaving the responsibility to the PA and UNWRA was a bad idea for all involved. Israel last month severed all ties between its officials and UNRWA and barred the agency from operating in Israeli territory.
The ban was passed by the Knesset in November with a wide majority, with the support of opposition parties, amid a series of revelations about employees of the agency who were actively involved in terror groups in the 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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with 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 ...

invasion and slaughter, and repeated use of UNRWA infrastructure for terror activities.
…including imprisoning some of the hostages taken on 10/7. Israel has also provided evidence that the agency’s schools incited hatred of Israel and glorification of attacks against Israelis.
UNRWA has for decades run schools and clinics in East Jerusalem for tens of thousands of registered refugees there.
That’s “refugees”, who need not have been. Their cousins who stayed behind not only kept their homes, but have had the benefits of full Israeli citizenship all this time, and vociferously reject the possibility of being traded to the benevolent rule of the PA. On the other hand, Israeli citizenship has long been available to just about any East Jerusalem Palestinian resident who wants it, requiring little more than stepping forward to fill out the paperwork. The agency was established in 1949 following Israel’s 1948 War of Independence. It provides aid, health and education to millions of Paleostinians in Gaza, the West Bank and neighboring Arab countries — Syria, Leb

and Jordan.
Some 5.9 million people are registered as Paleostinian refugees by UNRWA because they are descended from Arabs displaced in the 1948 war.
Israel has long argued that UNRWA perpetuates the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict by using this definition of refugee, the only case in which the status is passed down generationally.
The hostility between Israel and the UN body intensified in the wake of Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack, which saw some 3,000 forces of Evil burst across the border, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 251 hostages.
Israel has provided evidence that a dozen UNRWA employees were involved in the deadly 2023 attack and insists that other agencies can pick up the slack to provide essential services, aid and reconstruction — something the UN and many donor governments dispute.
A series of investigations, including one led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, found some "neutrality-related issues" at UNRWA, but claimed Israel had not provided evidence for its headline allegation.

UK said reconsidering UNRWA funding after released British-Israeli hostage told Starmer she was held in agency facilities
[IsraelTimes] UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office confirms to Channel 12 that it has formally decided to again reconsider its over $16 million in annual funding to the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA.
The decision comes after Starmer’s phone call with recently released British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari who told the premier that she was held during parts of her captivity in UNRWA facilities and that she did not receive necessary medical treatment.
