Senator Bernie Sanders is urging the Biden administration to reinstate funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). This request follows the U.S. government’s decision to suspend funding due to the findings that numerous UNRWA staff in Gaza were involved in the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7.
Sanders condemned the involvement of any of the 13,000 UNRWA employees in Gaza with Hamas, calling for a thorough investigation into the charges against the 12 accused individuals. However, he emphasized that the punitive measure should not result in the suffering of millions, noting that over a million people in Gaza are facing starvation. He advocated for the U.S. and other nations to quickly restore funding to UNRWA to prevent a humanitarian disaster.
Earlier on Tuesday, Sweden joined the growing list of countries cutting off funding to UNRWA, including the United States, Canada, the U.K., Australia, and others.

Given the UN’s inclination to work with and fund anti-Israel terrorists, the only solution is probably for the US and allies to provide direct aid, and perhaps to have NATO, the US/UK and the EU in some combination take control of Gaza’s administration, perhaps as a UN trusteeship.
Dementia alert!
Israel has documentation that at least a double digit percentage of UNRWA employees are Hamas members or their affiliates, and are actively assisting in the commission and support of terror. The schools breed hate, and they train their youth from infancy to thirst the spilled blood of Jews. The schools, hospitals, mosques, etc., all ostensibly “humanitarian” are actually centers for the headquarters, training camps, installations of Hamas terror. There is virtually no way to insure that any aid to UNRWA goes to civilians. Bernie is typically supportive of evil.
Has Bernie ever taken the right side on anything? It’s like his goal in life is to do the opposite of normal.
Why don’t someone just shove some Ben and Jerry’s in his mouth and keep him quiet?
only one direction for this hateful man…..rotting in hades with his family gentile family…shameful and disgusting words for our children to comprehend that one born a jew wants them dead….truly harsh
“Jew-hating Jew” is more accurate. Just saying.
Bernie is out of his mind.
@Allan:
He never had one. Just like sleepy Joe.
Unless it’s the World Health Organization wing of the United Nations. Then all of a sudden the UN is kodesh kodoshim. #virapehYirapeh
Send this demented old goat to Gaza.
