The United Nations has been quick to launch a special inquiry into Israel for defending itself this summer against Hamas terrorist attacks out of Gaza. But will anyone be investigating the role in this conflict of the U.N. itself?
This latest bout of war has underscored alarming questions about the U.N.’s chief agency in Gaza, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, better known as UNRWA.
Officially, UNRWA advertises itself as a strictly neutral party providing humanitarian and relief services — including schooling, health care, construction, loans, and emergency response — to Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, including some 1.2 million beneficiaries in Gaza. In practice, UNRWA has become so enmeshed in the workings of Gaza that it effectively functions as a support service for the interests of Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization that rules the territory.
Hamas is dedicated in its charter and its public statements to eradicating Israel, and has used Gaza for years as a launching pad for bombarding Israel with rockets and mortars. Lacking the ability to obliterate Israel in one fell swoop, Hamas’s strategy has been to terrorize and try to delegitimize Israel, firing weapons from behind or near human shields, including UNRWA facilities, until the Israelis strike back in self-defense. Hamas then parades the resulting destruction before the world, blaming Israel for the conflict and punishing anyone in Gaza who might dissent. UNRWA plays along, condemning Israel in graphic terms while making scarce mention or none of Hamas.
Here’s a typical locution, plucked from an August 1 UNRWA daily Situation Report on Gaza: “Reportedly there were 100 rockets and 88 mortar shells fired toward Israel.” In UNRWA reports, it’s as if the rockets and mortars targeting Israel simply assemble and launch themselves.

The answer, of course, is yes.
Gotta go with ‘complicit’ here. To select ‘clueless’ would be to presume a depth of ignorance plumbed only by the likes of Shiela Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson or Maxine Waters.
Well, technically the answer is “yes and yes”, because the question has an “or” in stead of an “and”, but we are basically in violent agreement!
Evil and its supports is not clueless,
so the question is, Alex,
“What is complicit, before the fact”?
Yes and yes. The intentionality of these fools/criminals at the un is obvious. ...and to think I was brainwashed as a kid into collecting pennies for unicef instead of getting candy. That has left mental scarring.
Complicit, with intent.
Uniself.
I always rewrote the box to say Self.
The teachers always looked at me funny.
LOL ... being added to a list before reaching fifth grade is a remarkable achievement.
It’s time for the U.S. and it’s checkbook to leave the U.N. It’s also time for the U.N. to move to the Hague or some other progressive city in Europe. The U.N. was set up by communists in the Roosevelt administration to kneecap America vs the Soviet Union. So it’s always been an enemy organization designed to subvert America why support it?
The UN Rocket Warehousing Agency was and is complicit.
What people need to understand is that about 98% of the agency’s personnel in Gaza are PALEOSWINIANS. Only a few supervisory people are from elsewhere...and you can bet that Hamas very carefully selects people to work there.
The fact that schools housed rockets and launch sites is not something that occurred on the spur of the moment, but something that was planned and executed with great forethought.
Complict, complicit, complicit.
Hamas delenda est!
The UN delenda est!
