Last April, the National Post
gained exclusive access to Israeli intelligence — the same intelligence shared with the PMO — showing UNRWA employees and teachers moonlighting as senior members of Palestinian terror groups, and even taking an active role in the Oct. 7 terror attacks.
Facilitated by UNRWA, Hamas regularly diverts Israeli aid shipments coming into Gaza, opting to sell the supplies to fund their war on Israel while everyday Gazans starve.
While Benlolo and AGPI say they’re “encouraged” by Canada’s move to bypass UNRWA and Hamas,
he noted the government’s press release also made no mention of UNRWA.
“UNRWA hasn’t been good to the Palestinian people at all,” Benlolo said.
“Rather than helping them support themselves and build up their own state and economy, it’s been putting them on perpetual welfare — and we all know that that’s not a good way to get people off the ground.”
He also noted
UNRWA’s complicity in Hamas terrorism, including facilitating the radicalization of Palestinian children in UN schools, using UN facilities to store weapons, and Hamas accessing UNRWA networking and power infrastructure in their underground bunkers.
Attempts to circumvent the UN to deliver aid, namely the U.S.-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF,) have been met with derision — including Hamas issuing warnings to Gazans not to accept GHF aid under threat of punishment or death.
Abraham Global Peace Initiative founder Avi Benlolo says Canada needs to stop relying on organizations like UNRWA to feed hungry Gazans
