Dems Introduce Bill to Restore Funding to UN Group Whose Employees Were Involved in 10/7 Attacks
Town Hall ^ | 26 Sep 2024 | Leah Barkoukis

Progressive Democrats introduced a bill to restore U.S. funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, months after the U.S. banned funding for one year over allegations some of their employees were involved in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

That measure received widespread support in Congress, with Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York emphasizing the “incestuous relationship between UNRWA and Hamas,” saying the U.S. must stop funding “institutions that perpetuate hate, that perpetuate the radicalization that ultimately led to October 7th.”

In addition to the dozen staff members who were directly involved in the attacks, the Israel Defense Forces said in early March that UNRWA has more than 450 “military operatives” from Hamas and Islamic Jihad in its ranks.

Despite these realities, Democratic Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, André Carson of Indiana, and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois introduced the UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act of 2024.

The US shouldn’t be funding relief through the UN at all — even it was staffed entirely by gentle little old ladies.

Meanwhile they’re still ok with keeping J6ers in solitary for years, who didn’t do anythin wrong, and who were indeed let in by (treasonous) police officers

We are almost upon the 1 year anniversary. Hard to believe almost a year has passed since that event.
