Sorry, I don't think that link works.

The gist of the article is that UNWRA far from being a neutral 'peace keeping' organisation is in fact a highly anti-Semitic outfit which has been harbouring Hamas terrorists and it is claimed that even some members took part in the October 7th attack.

Your link does work but it's behind a paywall.  As I understand it, Israel is wise not to trust this organisation.

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.

It's not just a few though is it.

Disband it and find an organistation that wont capitulate to your terrorist mates.

[sandyRoe]

If it's not just a few how many is it?

[jourdain2]

Some appear to be quite highly placed in Unwras.  Israel is corect i.m.o.. If Unwras wishes to continue its function then it needs to rid itself of anti-Israelis - or anti-anyones.

israel has made concrete allegations without proof against people constituting about 0.07% of UNRWA's workforce

thousands of palestinians rely on UNRWA for access to basics and israel has made this decision because it wants to murder them.

[Khandro]

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.'.........

[Khandro]

'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'

that is not proof it is propaganda. israel calls anyone who doesn't agree with its policies anti-semitic. they've completely robbed the word of meaning

As I understand it, Israel is wise not to trust this organisation.

there is no alternative and the population in Gaza will starve

The Generals' plan really  will become the Genocide plan. heigh ho

prevent as many people as possible from getting out and prevent as much food as possible from getting in

it's very similar to what Stalin did in Ukraine in the 1930s. he banned aid organisations and said they were all enemy agents too.

israel calls anyone who doesn't agree with its policies anti-semitic.

and therefore.... what? 

[Old_Geezer]

How difficult is it for a different charity to step into the breach ?

 

Matbe Israel should take a vote on whether to sever ties with the UN; and say the aid distribution position is available to those wanting to make an offer.

..Maybe...
