Trump Administration Takes On Controversial Hamas-Tied U.N. Group. The Group Pushes Back.

As The Daily Wire’s Hank Berrien reported last year, the Trump administration has cut large amounts of funding to the Hamas-tied, scathingly anti-Israel United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). UNRWA has long been systemically biased against Israel (and against Jews) and in favor of the Palestinian-Arab narrative. For example, Harry Khachatrian noted in 2016 for The Daily Wire that some examples of UNRWA-initiated anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda measures “include Nazi-like cartoons shared on social media by its staff and promoti[on of] terrorist-supporting flotillas and violence against Israel. UNRWA has also allowed Hamas — officially designated as a terrorist organization by both the U.S. and Canada — to use its facilities and has employed its members as staff.” Berrien also observed in 2017:

As PJ Media noted, the United Nations UNRWA’s funds help to train terrorists for ISIS: “Kids as young as seven are calling for the killing of Jews and are pledging their allegiance to ISIS in schools run by the UN. The documentary ‘The UNRWA Road to Terror: Palestinian Classroom Incitement,’ shows a clip of a Palestinian child who is a 13-year-old student at one of the schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency chanting ‘With Allah’s help I will fight for ISIS, the Islamic State.'”
