Here's the Smoking Gun: UNWRA Knew About Oct 7 in Advance
[PJMedia] Hillel Neuer this weekend posted the smoking gun: the UN’s Paleostinian "humanitarian" agency knew in advance of Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
’s Oct. 7 terror invasion — and Hamas meant to torpedo any chance for peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) chief Philippe Lazzarini posted Sunday that throughout the war 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 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...
, "one of the most dreadful updates I regularly receive is the corpse count on UNRWA staff. Today, that corpse count has surpassed the gruesome milestone of 300."

Lazzarini also made this highly questionable claim, given what we know about the veracity of Hamas's casualty figures: "The vast majority of staff were killed by the Israeli Army with their children & loved ones: whole families wiped out."

The loss of innocent life is always regrettable — and, in war, often inevitable. Assuming they happened at all, given Hamas’s habit of inflating civilian death numbers. But I will not weep for the loss of UNRWA personnel.

You might wonder why I don't mourn the loss of these "humanitarians." Sit tight.

Regulatory capture is when a government agency meant to regulate an industry ends up serving the interests of that industry instead of the public. It doesn't happen all at once, of course. An agency is set up with the best of intentions, at least ostensibly, but lobbying and the "need" for industry expertise eventually turn the regulator into just another arm of the industry it’s supposed to oversee.

So what do you call it when a UN relief organization over time becomes run and staffed by people whose ambition is terrorism instead of humanitarianism? I don’t know about you, but I still call it terrorism. Because when you’re enabling mass murder, I don’t care about technicalities.

Here's UNRWA's pure evil, courtesy of Neuer:



According to Neuer's translation, the minutes cite Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar saying, "There is no doubt that the Saudi-Zionist normalization agreement is progressing significantly... [opening] the door for the majority of Arab and Islamic countries to follow" and that an "extraordinary action" was required to derail Arab-Israeli peace efforts.

And Another Thing: This is the year that Data Republican (small-r) taught us about something I think we should term "mission capture." That's when NGOs end up doing privatized versions of the things government shouldn't do or doesn't want to be seen doing, instead of charitable or humanitarian work. Granted, many NGOs are established for that very reason.

Oct. 7 quickly followed — and UNRWA's own Suhail al-Hindi was present at the meeting where the need for an "extraordinary action" was floated.

#2 Too much financial and logistical prep went into Oct 7 without somebody noticing. UNWRA may have not been the only one with prior knowledge of a pending attack.

Hamas had acquired ultralight aircraft and had been training its personnel on their deployment and use. Who could have possibly known ?

#3 So why didn't Mossad?
You're going to tell me Mossad didn't have UNWRA bugged more than that airliner Qatar just gave to Trump?
Hamas had paragliders, and they got those into a tiny area like Gaza without Mossad getting a whiff?
Unbelievable.

#4 Gaza: How did Hamas’ besieged fighters learn to paraglide?

#5 Elements inside the Global Intelligence Community aka Five Eyes (14 Eyes by my last count) + Mossad have gone rogue.

Epstein Island is my prime example.
Russian Dossier (Golden Shower) is example number two as it was laundered by a member of MI6.

We know via USAID's charity to terror orgs (USAID to Idlib and Obama parachuting arms to ISIS) that the West harbors terror supporters in its midst's.

So when the math doesnt add up... blame the IC.

#6 Few could argue that events oftetimes precipitate conflicts. Events can be orchestrated either through careless neglect or will intent.
