Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and its ties to Hamas terrorists, further evidence of the agency's deep rot continues to come to light.
In yet another piece of evidence, shocking video footage filmed in 2022 was recently reported by Israel's Ynet News showing Palestinian students from a UNRWA school in East Jerusalem expressing their eagerness to kill Jews.
"I am ready to carry out suicide attacks," one student tells the camera, while a female student states, "We have to fight the Jews to prove that we are stronger than them."
Other statements on the video include: "Stabbing and ramming Jews with cars brings honor to the Palestinians," and "We are taught that the Jews are cheaters and are bad. I will stab and run over them."
Another student said: "We are taught that Al-Aqsa and all of Palestine is ours," while another claimed, "We are taught that the Jews are terrorists."
The video was filmed by the Bedein Center for Near East Policy Research. Its founder, David Bedein, has researched and publicized the issue of UNRWA’s ties to terrorism and antisemitism for decades.
"The textbooks of UNRWA students in the Shuafat refugee camp feature pictures of murderers who committed terrorist acts and killed many Israelis, as a sign of praise and as a role model," Bedein told Ynet.
Most of UNRWA’s major donor nations announced they would halt payments in the wake of revelations that hundreds of UNRWA employees had ties to terror groups, with at least 12 of them actively participating in the massacre on Oct. 7.
Israel has called to disband the agency and to fully investigate its ties with terrorism while publicizing more and more evidence against the organization.
On Tuesday evening, even Sweden, once a major supporter of UNRWA, joined the list of countries to announce it would pause funding for the disgraced agency.
"The money … will go instead to other humanitarian organizations," Johan Forssell, the minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, told Swedish media.
