| Israel campaigns to shape up UNRWA |
| 2002-06-29 |
| Israel has begun a campaign in the United States and the United Nations to urge a reconsideration of the way the UN Relief and Works Agency, which runs the Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza, operates. Israel charges that UNRWA workers simply ignored the fact that Palestinian organizations were turning the camps into terrorist bases, and it is demanding the agency start reporting all military or terrorist actions within the camps to the UN. However, it insists it is not interested in evicting UNRWA from the camps. If they're supposed to control the camps, and there's supposed to be no military or terrorist actions in the areas under UNRWA control, and they're not controlling the camps, then they're complicit in the murder of Israelis, aren't they? |
