The Israeli Ban of UNRWA is a Declaration of War
on UNRWA, the UN, and the International Community:
The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) joins the
international community and peace-loving people in condemning the
recent and unprecedented Israeli Knesset legislation to ban UNRWA
from functioning in the Occupied Palestinian territories in Gaza, Jerusalem,
and the West Bank. Such a rogue decision is to be added to the
extensive list of Israeli blatant and open violations of
international law. Israel is the only entity that freely violates
international law and disregards the international community without
any accountability. Israel can do so due to unconditional U.S.
diplomatic, political, and military aid.
Israeli designs on UNRWA are not new. UNRWA was
originally founded by the United Nations in 1949, the same
United Nations that created Israel in 1948 upon the Palestine
Nakba. UNRWA exists because of the birth of Israel and would not
exist had Israel not existed! Palestinians fled or were forced to
leave, and Israel, despite international law and UN resolutions,
refuses to allow them back. Palestinians get their refugee
organization because their situation is unique. No other people on
earth are facing a similar occupation and replacement project as is
Mandatory Palestine and the Zionist enterprise.
UNRWA has been struggling for years with funding
issues. Naturally, Palestine refugees have increased in number.
Funding has not increased proportionately. UNRWA is essential to the
very survival of the refugees as it provides them with health and
education services, among other services. UNRWA is staffed by true
humanitarians who have been true to the organization's mission and
should be appreciated and honored for their work.
With every passing day, there is an Israeli violation
of international law, UN resolutions, international custom, or rules
of basic decency. Israeli politicians have always attacked UNRWA.
They have attacked the UN itself. And this is outrageous not only
because Israel itself is a creature of the UN, as French President
Macron reminded the Israelis.
“Israel is a rogue state, a pariah
state," said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “Israel
has always been a rogue state which should have been treated as a
pariah decade earlier,” added Hamad. “The Gaza genocide has unmasked
the true nature of Israel,” continued Hamad. "It should be
either that Israel rescinds the ban, or Israel is kicked out of the
UN," concluded Hamad.
