You're getting your news from a republican senator's news page....?

Oh my god, how dumb is that.

UNRWA has a stringent staff conduct framework in place to ensure that staff members do not affiliate
themselves, and by extension, UNRWA, with any other groups. All UNRWA staff, Palestine refugees, and
contractors, vendors, and non-state donors are screened against the Consolidated United Nations Security
Council Sanctions List.

UNRWA does not, and will not, divert any humanitarian aid into the wrong hands. Donor support goes
directly to those in need. The Blackburn letter’s authors are seemingly unaware of the requirements of U.S.
law, or any of the provisions of the US-UNRWA Framework for Cooperation. UNRWA is required to take
all possible measures to ensure funding provided by the United States does not provide assistance to, or
otherwise support, terrorists or terrorist organizations.

This includes reporting requirements on any aid diversions

Last night, one of our fallen UNRWA colleagues included Mai, a person who overcame physical disabilities to
become a front-end developer at the UNRWA Information Technology Service Center. Since the horrific
events of 7-October, UNRWA has already lost Mai and 71 other members of its staff to the conflict. Despite
this, thousands of UNRWA staff, many of whom are now displaced themselves, are still on the job assisting
the 690,000 Gazans sheltering at our 149 facilities, as well as working at our healthcare centres.

But yea, tell me again why this makes it okay to kill children again?

Well, there's also this: https://unwatch.org/unrwa-obstacle-to-peace/ But I'm sure you'll find this source unsatisfactory as well

Un Watch is a pro-Israeli group, not affiliated with the UN, and no longer doing a great job.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Watch

I read parts of the report anyway and it seems that it's basically a report where they stalk many teachers online and take their posts where they talk about Israeli oppression then say it meant they celebrated the attacks of October 7 /:

Fuck that's so goddamn flimsy.

As usual the label of antisemitism is used to silence Palestinians online. Israel wants them to both live in humiliation and keep their mouths shut too.
