The fact that there may be a few of its employees supporters of Hamas shouldn't lead to the entire organisation being prevented from doing its important work.
Those working towards an even bigger Israel turn the screw and women, children, the least able, suffer most.
And still there are people who support whatever they do.

Pasting in ; 'The Israeli parliament resumed its work on Monday after a long recess, and one of the first items on the agenda was voting on a bill that enjoyed rare widespread popularity. The bill decreed that Israel will severe ties with the UN relied and work agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA), which will heavily restrict the organisation’s ability to operate in Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank. It passed with a majority of 92 for and 10 against, with even opposition members of the Knesset supporting the bill.
The bill was criticised by the UN, which threatened to suspend Israel’s membership. It was also criticised by Israel’s allies, including the US, UK and France, who argue that UNRWA has an essential role in providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
So why did Israel insist on passing the bill? UNRWA was funded in 1949 and gets its funding from the UN and from donor states. For years, it was known that UNRWA’s employees teach the most deplorable anti-Semitic content and glorify terrorism in schools, radicalising generations of Palestinians. This has played a major role in perpetuating the bloody conflict between the sides, and makes the possibility of a settlement a distant dream, by dehumanising and demonising Israelis and Jews.'.........
'For years, UNRWA facilities provided shelters for Hamas’s terror activities, including in schools and medical clinics. It is also alleged that funding given to UNRWA ended up at the hands of Hamas and used for funding terrorism.
All of this has been done for decades under the watchful eye of the UN, which has long suffered from institutional and extreme anti-Israel bias. Therefore, even though it was known that UNRWA has been plagued by extremism, no real action has been taken by he UN or by donor states to bring meaningful reforms.
Israel hopes that the bill that was passed yesterday will force UNRWA’s funders, particularly those who hold values such as human rights, democracy and non-violence in high regard, to finally stop turning a blind eye to the fact the UNRWA has become a hotbed of radicalisation disguised as a humanitarian organisation'
