UNRWA staff members who participated in the October 7th Terror Attacks have been shortlisted for a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. The Telegraph reports:
UNRWA was shortlisted for the prestigious award in February despite Israeli claims that dozens of its workers took part in the attacks by distributing ammunition, abducting hostages and co-ordinating transportation. The U.S. froze funding to the agency in January after the revelations emerged, while the UN ordered an independent inquiry.
Following UNRWA’s investigation, 12 staff members were fired. In a statement, the agency said: “The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7th.“To protect the Agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay. Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.”
Ahead of the announcement of the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, more than 10,000 people have signed a petition calling for organisers to reconsider its nomination.“A Nobel Peace Prize to the agency and its commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini would send a strong message about its role in supporting the lives of millions of Palestinian women, men, and children,” the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), which picked the nominations, wrote on its website.PRIO noted that UNRWA had maintained its aid operation despite financial support being withdrawn after the accusations.
The ‘peace’ committee really does hate Israel that much that it shortlists an agency strongly implicated in murdering, torturing, raping and abducting hundreds of its citizens. And it doesn’t give a monkey’s how that looks to the rest of us. And they wonder how the Holocaust can happen.
