| IDF denies damaging UNRWA office in West Bank, says terror operatives detonated bomb in area |
| 2024-11-01 |
| [IsraelTimes] The IDF issues a statement denying responsibility for damaging UNRWA’s office in the West Bank camp of Nur Shams, saying the damage was caused by Palestinian terror operatives. Perhaps someone over there is miffed at Hamas. “The claim that the UNRWA offices in Nur Shams were destroyed by IDF soldiers is false,” the statement reads.“Terrorists planted explosives in the proximity of the UNRWA offices that were then detonated in an attempt to harm IDF soldiers. Or perhaps it was Hamas/UNRWA turbans wanting to stay close to home, as it were. The explosives likely caused damage to the structure,” the IDF statement adds.Related: Nur Shams: 2024-10-31 West Bank: IDF killed Hamas turban in Tulkarem who was planning imminent attacks, followed by airstriking Nur Shams Nur Shams: 2024-10-27 West Bank: Israeli forces kill Hamas operative in Tulkarem plotting ‘imminent’ attack Nur Shams: 2024-10-16 Tel Aviv suicide bombing attempt in August was overseen by Hamas in Turkey – police |

| #2 UNRWA keeps Palestinians in perpetual refugeehood If the Paleostinian Problem ever gets solved, UNRWA is out of business. Gone. All those good-paying jobs, the fancy offices, cocktail parties with the donors, all gone. Tragic, from an NGO point of view. This is not an unusual dynamic. You see it with teacher's unions. As long as the kids cannot read or write, the school system needs more money. And we need to pay teachers more to attract qualified people. The fact that more money didn't fix anything is a sign we need more money. |

| #1 Watchdog: ‘UNRWA’s existence violates UN charter’ “UNRWA keeps Palestinians in perpetual refugeehood, giving them this dream that they have a right of return to sovereign Israeli territory,” Rovner concluded. “We know what that looks like. We saw it on October 7.” |
