Employees of UN agency praise Hitler, Hamas on Facebook

refugee agency are continuing to use social media to support terror activities and spread anti-Semitism, despite a previous outcry over the issue, according to a report by a UN watchdog.

The UN Watch organization first raised the concerns about United Nations Relief and Works Agency workers’ comments posted to social media in an October 2015 report. On Sunday, it released a follow-up report showing screenshots from the Facebook pages of 40 UNRWA school employees across Gazoo, Leb, Jordan and Syria.

The posts "incite to Jihadist terrorism and anti-Semitism, including by posting Holocaust-denying videos and pictures celebrating Hitler," the report said.

On Sunday, UN Watch chief Hillel Neuer presented the report to a joint US Congressional subcommittee dealing with the UN, Israel and the Paleostinians.

UN Watch said it also sent letters on Sunday to UN chief António Guterres, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley
...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
, urging them "to take action and demand UN and UNRWA condemnation of the incitement, and the immediate termination of the implicated employees."

The US gave UNRWA -- which provides Paleostinian refugees in the Middle East with education, health care, and social services -- $380 million in 2015.

Chris Gunness, a spokesperson for UNRWA, told The Times of Israel in a statement that his organization was aware of the allegations against it, and was "looking into [them] as part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the Agency’s neutrality."

#5  Cut off the funding, and move the location of the UN to some shithole that this "peaceful" organization hasn't given a single damn about. Somalia seems about right.

Neutrality? Seriously?
