JERUSALEM, Israel – A shocking report by a watchdog organization on Thursday revealed that a UN agency tasked with, among other things, educating Palestinian students in places such as Lebanon, the West Bank and Jordan, employs teachers who promote terrorism and the murder of Jews.

UN Watch, a Geneva-based NGO, uncovered in its 49-page report that United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) computer teacher Nihaya Awad, who works in the West Bank, supported Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilians after last year’s war. The U.S. and the European Union classified Hamas—the Sunni jihadi organization that controls the Gaza Strip—as a terrorist entity.

The Gaza you don't see
Mordechai Sones
08.07.19 21:28

The increasingly popular Twitter account called @Imshin disseminates videos, blog posts, and news from the middle-class and wealthy world of the Gaza Strip that never make it into the mainstream media.

According to the UN, 53% of Gazans live in poverty, despite humanitarian assistance. But while world media outlets choose to focus solely on photographs of destitute Gazans carting off sacks of UNRWA flour by donkey cart, the swank world of high-class hotels, black-tie restaurants, and gourmet supermarkets stocked to overflowing with Israeli products are ignored, presenting a misleading picture of what life in Gaza after Israeli "occupation" is truly like.

Sudan: The Genocide No One Talks About
by Pierre Rehov
June 24, 2022

In Darfur, an area of Sudan, massacres have been taking place on a daily basis for several decades. This is happening everywhere in the country.

But who is talking about it?

The Western world seems lack empathy, perhaps due to its weariness in the watching this tragedy for so long, and masked by geopolitical and economic interests.

As for the international community, it remains focused on a conflict between two nuclear superpowers, the US and Russia, at the gates of Europe, Ukraine, and that could degenerate into a world war.

Opinion piece
Let UNRWA die already
The demise of the United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine Refugees is long overdue. Let’s hope that Commissioner-General Lazzarini is right to be worried.
June 26 2022

Despite managing to raise $160 million in New York on Thursday, at a pledging conference of the Ad Hoc Committee of the U.N. General Assembly, the head of the United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) was not pleased.

Trying to sound grateful for the ill-deserved windfall, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini simultaneously boasted about the international community’s “firm commitment” to the organization and bemoaned that the funds pledged were far from sufficient to keep the place running past the end of the year.

Turkish Courts Continue to Let ISIS Suspects Go after Brief Detentions as Part of Revolving Door Policy
by Abdullah Bozkurt
Nordic Monitor
June 22, 2022

Turkish courts, under the strict control of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Islamist government, continue to release detainees suspected of membership in the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as part of Turkey's revolving door policy, which is quietly practiced to let jihadist militants go free after a brief detention.

Instances of such a practice were recently observed in a number of provinces across Turkey, confirming the view that the Turkish judiciary was instructed to go easy on jihadists including ISIS suspects. Despite the leveling of serious charges and the seizure of guns, ammunition and ISIS propaganda materials during searches of the suspects' homes, most, if not all, were quickly released.

Germany: Tormented by Syrians because he is Jewish, His black eye patch is scary.
June 25 2022

It will stick with him forever. But Michael T. (61, name altered) wears it with defiance and determination. Just like his black kippah.

His fight against Jew-hatred in our city continues! On Friday, Michael T. came to the criminal justice building: He was a witness and joint plaintiff in the trial against the alleged thug Aram A. (17) and his brother (15). The two Berliners with Syrian roots allegedly attacked T. in September at a Jewish vigil in Mönckebergstraße, whereby only the older one is said to have struck: His cheekbone, nose bone and glasses were smashed. A piece of glass injured T.’s right eye so severely that he has been blind ever since.

NEW YORK -- Pakistan has arrested the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks after years of denying his presence and even claiming he was dead, Nikkei Asia has learned.

The man, Sajid Mir, is on the FBI's list of most-wanted terrorists, with a $5 million reward on his head. He has been sought by both the U.S. and India for over a decade. Mir is connected to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a United Nations-designated terrorist organization believed to have been behind the November 2008 siege, when a team of 10 men carried out coordinated attacks on multiple targets. About 170 people were killed -- mainly Indians, alongside six Americans as well as visitors from Japan and elsewhere.

Germany: “Physical violence is mostly perpetrated by Muslim schoolchildren”
June 24 2022

Agrammar school in Germany a few years ago: A Jewish teenager from Ukraine who has just arrived in Germany is exposed by classmates during his first days at his new school. Someone has stuck a note with the words “Jew” on the 14-year-old’s back. Because he does not notice this and no one else points it out to him, he walks around wearing it the whole school day.

When a social worker from the local Jewish community talks to the headmaster about the incident, he says: “Why do you think it happens to this particular boy? Have you seen the way he dresses and the way he looks? This boy does not come to school well groomed, he stinks. There is something wrong in the family.”

The social worker reported on the case in a study on anti-Semitism in schools, conducted by Julia Bernstein, professor of discrimination and inclusion in the immigration society at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences.

Islamist Youtuber Wali Ahmed insults Lord Ram, issues death and rape threats to Nupur Sharma, calls for beheading of her Hindu supporters
25 June, 2022

Although it’s been a month since former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma made certain innocuous comments about Prophet Muhammad, then apologised and retracted them, she continues to be on the radar of Islamists. Along with multiple death threats, several rabid Islamists have been taking to various social media platforms to openly vilify, humiliate and threaten the ex-BJP spokesperson.

In one such video uploaded on 16th June 2022 on the video-sharing and social media platform YouTube, an Islamist YouTuber Wali Ahmad not only went on a vile rant against the ex-BJP spokesperson but also went on to spread hate against Hinduism and insult Hindu God Shri Ram.

Sharing snippets from the video on June 24, a Twitter user Naveen Singh (@HeckIndia) requested Uttar Pradesh police, Bihar police and the NIA to take cognisance and demanded stringent action against the “Hinduphoic Jihadist” YouTuber Wali Ahmed from Patna, Bihar.
