Avi Benlolo: Liberal pledge of $100M to UNRWA makes Canada complicit in terrorism
According to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, the PA spends around $300 million annually on its pay-for-slay program, or 10 per cent of its entire budget. It is only able to afford this due to international assistance coming through UNRWA, which subsidizes the cost of basic government services like health care, education and other social services.
Canada continues to use the now stale disclaimer that it “will remain closely engaged with UNRWA and continue to exercises enhanced due diligence for all humanitarian and development assistance funding for Palestinians. This work includes ongoing oversight, regular site visits, a systematic screening process and strong anti-terrorism provisions in funding agreements.”Article content
To make matters worse, multiple reports have been published by various groups indicating that UNRWA-funded school textbooks contain antisemitic content that incites students to hate Israel. When I met with UNRWA officials, who are based in east Jerusalem, they admitted this was an ongoing problem but suggested nothing could be done about it.
Global Affairs’ press release states that, “In Syria, 91 per cent of Palestinian refugee households live in absolute poverty. In Lebanon, more than 89 per cent of Palestinian refugees displaced from Syria are in critical need of sustained humanitarian assistance.” But what our government fails to explain is why this is the case.
