Should America Decrease Financial Support to the UN?

Here’s The Scoop

The shocking revelation that some employees of the U.N. agency UNRWA were part of the Oct. 7 massacre and transported Hamas terrorists in U.N. vehicles is just the most recent example of the heavily U.S.-subsidized agency’s relationship with Hamas.

“UNRWA is a horror show that is decades in the making co-produced by the United States taxpayer,” Richard Goldberg, a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies(FDD), said during testimony to a subcommittee of the House Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.

Fox News Digital has been digging over the years into the scandal-plagued history of UNRWA, an acronym for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

According to a dossier that Israel’s government submitted to the Biden administration in late January, 12 UNRWA employees allegedly aided Hamas in different capacities on Oct. 7.

Seven U.N. staffers crossed into Israel on Oct. 7, while others were accused of “participating in a terror activity” or coordinating vehicle movements. The Biden administration has given UNRWA $1 billion of taxpayer money since 2021.

Just weeks before Israel claimed UNRWA employees took part in the Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel, Fox News Digital reported a Telegram channel used by more than 3,000 teachers for UNRWA in Gaza was found replete with posts celebrating Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, praising the terrorists who raped and murdered civilians as “heroes.”

The Telegram channel is intended for UNRWA teachers and contains files with staff names, ID numbers, schedules, and curriculum materials.

In one post highlighted in the U.N. Watch report, UNRWA teacher Waseem Ula shared a video glorifying the Hamas attacks and posted a photo of a suicide bomb vest wired with explosives. The caption said, “Wait, sons of Judaism.”

In light of these revelations, the question arises: Should America decrease financial support to the UN? With the Biden administration providing $1 billion of taxpayer money to UNRWA since 2021, it’s time for a serious conversation about the role of the United States in funding an organization with alleged ties to terrorism.
