UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations says comments by a spokesman in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office about the head of the UN agency helping Palestinian refugees are “reprehensible” and threatening.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric is responding to comments made by spokesman David Mencer who called Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the agency known as UNRWA, “one of the bad guys, a terrorist sympathizer, a Jew-killing enabler, a liar.”
Mencer issued the denunciations of Lazzarini after saying that Israeli forces have retrieved “millions of documents and captured enemy material” exposing the involvement of UNRWA employees in Hamas’ attacks on October 7 in southern Israel.
He said the documents also showed “the deep and systemic infiltration by those terror organizations, Hamas, but also Palestinian Islamic Jihad into the ranks of UNRWA.”
The UN’s Dujarric says “there have not been a million documents handed over to the secretary-general,” Antonio Guterres, and a letter sent to him with about a hundred names was immediately sent to the Office of Internal Oversight Services, the watchdog known as OIOS.
Mencer’s “inflammatory language” to describe Lazzarini “in an environment that’s already extremely volatile is reprehensible and downright dangerous because it puts at risk senior UN officials whose only focus is on helping civilians in Gaza and to alleviate their suffering,” Dujarric says.
Freep you, Stephane. If you don’t want people to call your employees Jew-killers, how about your employees don’t kill Jews?
But it was ok for the UN to have a full-blown Nazi in Kurt Waldheim as Secretary-General.
UN decries truth.
The truth hurts.
Fifty percent of UNWRA's budget is education. Education is the Palestinian Authority focus' on killing Jews and hating/destroying Israel beginning with cartoons for pre schoolers. From an old (2008) puff piece from UNWRA
UNRWA operates one of the largest school systems in the Middle East and has been the main provider of basic education to Palestine refugees for sixty years. Indeed, UNRWA students are some of the most highly educated in the region. Education is UNRWA’s largest area of activity, accounting for nearly 50% of its budget and two-thirds of its staff. For 2008-2009 the programme accounts for $565 million out of UNRWA’s regular budget of $1.1 billion. What education services does UNRWA provide? Free basic education to over half a million Palestine refugee children and youth in its five fields of operations, using the curriculum of host education authorities.
You'll note they use the curriculum of host education authorities, so they'd probably claim it's not really their curriculum. They're complicit, Jew-killing enabler is gentle given the use of their schools and other buildings as assets for Hamas.
Israel should be lumping UN employees in with Hamas as part of the war.
The UN funds terrorism to kill Jews. Suck it up it’s completely true
UNRWA needs to be disbanded. It exists mainly as political tool to pressure Israel, and it hires locals many of whom are of course attached to the various internal factions. People who have been living in Gaza for 4 or 5 generations are not refugees. If they need aid, that’s a different question but to keep calling them refugees for generations does the entire “peace process” a disservice. It perpetuates the myth that they will one day go somewhere else.
Well… is he a Jew-killing enabler?! If the shoe fits….
They should be handled by the High Commissioner for Refugees which handles all other refugees worldwide. There’s no need for two UN agencies, other than hasten the destruction of Israel. Since the 1948 war about 700,000 refugees fled, UNWRA’s unique way of determining who is a refugee has grown that number to about 6 million. Good for them else they’d be out of business soon as the last refugees die off.
Why are they upset? He is a Jew Killer. How many weapons have been used from UNRWA property that have killed Jews, or have held Jewish hostages?
“He called our Jew killing enabler, a Jew killing enabler!!!”
Trump ended US contributions to UNRWA and Biden resumed them iirc.
Must be over target.
Truth triggers liars…every single time…👏👊🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Leftists are cry bullies.
They bully someone and then when called on it cry that the other person is being mean to them.
Hamas kills Jews. Jews respond. “the Jews are being mean to me”
Democrats abuse their positions. They get called on it. “The Republicans are being divisive!”
Etc.
It’s always the same. They play victim. I think they think they are victims.
Reprehensible and downright dangerous.
