The US and international community are deeply troubled by the Knesset's move to ban the UNRWA. Though the agency is surely flawed and employees who have taken part in terrorist activities must be held accountable, the UNRWA is crucial to delivering aid into Gaza. Israel is risking its international support by passing such legislation.
In its 75 years of existence, the UNRWA has only perpetuated conflict between Israelis and Palestinians by providing an empire of never ending victimhood and suffering. Almost every camp established by the UNRWA has become hotbeds of terrorism, and the agency's only function in recent decades has been to provide Palestinian terror with international legitimacy. Other agencies and organizations will be able to step in and provide aid to those suffering in Gaza.
The UNRWA was created as a bandaid solution in the wake of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to silence Palestinians rightfully enraged by their dispossession. Nonetheless, in the decades since, the agency has served as a reminder to Israel and the international community of Israel's many crimes. Israel's banning of the UNRWA has been in the making for some time, and Israel's goal is to escalate its genocide in Gaza by starving the population of even more much-needed services.
