United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and its troubling promotion of antisemitism among Palestinian youth.

Israel has an absolute right to defend itself against such cowardly invasions and massacres," Smith declared.

Witnesses who testified included Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, who called for the dismissal of Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Palestine.

These schools are, unfortunately, breeding grounds for hatred.”

Smith shed light on UNRWA's role in perpetuating hatred against Jews among Palestinian youth.

The UN is an obsolete dinosaur that is a waste of American dollars. Deport all those UN idiots and use the building as apartments for New Yawk’s “overflow” shiny new “citizens” from the dead space countries across the Rio Grande.
