UNRWA Director Wants To Talk About Bags Of Flour, Not Israeli Hostages

Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of UNRWA, a UN agency for Palestine refugees, recently said that claims that Palestinian schools teach hatred of Jews are "false and insidious" and "only fuel a toxic and deeply polarized environment." He was hit with a Community Note reading, "…the new textbooks examined in this report indoctrinate for death and martyrdom. Jews and Israelis are portrayed as quintessentially evil, amid calls for jihad and martyrdom by Palestinian children.” There is no distinction made between Jews and Israelis. Just last week, Israeli media reported that one of the children taken hostage by Hamas was held in the attic by a UNRWA teacher. CNN asked UNRWA Director Thomas White about that, but he was more concerned with talking about flour.

He didn't deny it. He didn't answer it, but he didn't deny it either. If anyone doubted if the claims against UNWRA, its Gaza chief, by refusing to answer basic questions, confirms the claims are true. Germany just pulled its funding of UNRWA over accusations like this. Everything the UN touches is corrupt. It needs to be defunded and kicked out of the United States.
