UNRWA – the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East – whose staff were suspected of assisting in the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel, has been shortlisted for a Nobel Peace Prize. The Telegraph has the story.
UNRWA was shortlisted for the prestigious award in February despite Israeli claims that dozens of its workers took part in the attacks by distributing ammunition, abducting hostages and co-ordinating transportation.
The U.S. froze funding to the agency in January after the revelations emerged, while the UN ordered an independent inquiry.
Following UNRWA’s investigation, 12 staff members were fired. In a statement, the agency said: “The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7th.
“To protect the Agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay. Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.”
Ahead of the announcement of the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, more than 10,000 people have signed a petition calling for organisers to reconsider its nomination.
“A Nobel Peace Prize to the agency and its commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini would send a strong message about its role in supporting the lives of millions of Palestinian women, men, and children,” the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), which picked the nominations, wrote on its website.
PRIO noted that UNRWA had maintained its aid operation despite financial support being withdrawn after the accusations.
The ‘peace’ committee really does hate Israel that much that it shortlists an agency strongly implicated in murdering, torturing, raping and abducting hundreds of its citizens. And it doesn’t give a monkey’s how that looks to the rest of us. And they wonder how the Holocaust can happen.

No-one seemed to care when they had chiropodists in the original list of people who say it can’t be anything other than man-made global warming. The description was ‘settled science’. It isn’t even science.
You could say that they Put their Foot in it by Toe ing the line !
Hey hey..!!
I’ve known for decades that man made climate change is BS.
Apart from the obvious, you just know that whenever they say “all scientists agree” it can’t possibly be true. Scientists never agree on anything. Proper scientists, that is. The ones who understand that science is a culture of doubt, not a culture of faith.
Stating there is no climate emergency is like saying water is wet, everyone except the watermelons is aware the climate is much like it always has been.
Impossible!
The Consensus™️ – 96%, no wait 97% of scientists agree global warming is ‘real’, er..but stopped in 1996 – drat!… correction climate change is ‘real’ and all Man’s fault.
It would appear the age of reason has come to a close. It was the clergy that for centuries stifled our scientific progress during the dark ages, now in an ironical twist of fate it is the scientists who’ve created the religion.
And that religion is known as –
“The Science.”
We need to avoid confusion with real science.
Just like we need to avoid confusion of Duchess of Sussex’s. “My truth” with real truth.
Just how is that people like me who are not professional ‘scientists’ or ‘academics’ but who are soundly educated and who have a professional background that requires an understanding of climate and weather knew the whole climate thing was a Great Lie, fraud and scam from the very start. We were just voices in the wilderness.
This article appears to rubbish the claims made in your article – which is correct?
