Evidence Shows Widespread Support for October 7th Terrorists Among UNRWA Teachers in Gaza.

Notwithstanding the repeated denials by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and its insistence that it has zero tolerance for hatred and antisemitism, UN Watch continues to find abhorrent antisemitism and support for jihadi terrorism by UNRWA staff on social media. This report details how UNRWA teachers in a 3,000-member UNRWA staff Telegram group cheered and celebrated Hamas’s October 7th massacre while at the same time asking when their UNRWA salaries will be paid. The UNRWA staff in the group shared photos and video footage of those events and prayed for the terrorists’ success and for Israel’s destruction, in clear violation of UN rules. This is the latest in a series of reports on UNRWA staff antisemitism and incitement to jihadi terrorism which our research proves is systemic and widespread. Since 2015, UN Watch has exposed over 150 UNRWA staff Facebook pages that contain antisemitism and incitement to jihadi terrorism in blatant violation of UN neutrality. UNRWA’s typical response to our research has been to disparage our human rights organization and downplay the problem as reflecting just a few bad apples. The UNRWA Telegram group featured in this report completely eviscerates UNRWA’s denials and exposes the extent of UNRWA’s failure to do the bare minimum to address its staff’s neutrality violations.

UNHRC cuts off UN Watch for quoting antisemitic posts by UNRWA teachers: The U.N. Human Rights Council cuts off Hillel Neuer for testifying about UNRWA teachers who glorify Hitler. UNHRC President Nazhat Khan says Neuer made "derogatory, insulting and inflammatory remarks"—by quoting their own Facebook posts. The UNHRC President then rules: “This amounts to personal attacks. This statement is out of order." (October 1, 2021)
