Matthias Schmale’s record at UNRWA Lebanon:
1. “Herr Schmale, if you’re the acting Chief of Staff at UNRWA, why are you tweeting out a map that erases Israel? Do all four of UNRWA’s Burj Barajneh schools teach the elimination of a UN member state?”

2. “The irony of Hamas declaring UNRWA Gaza chief Mathias Schmale a persona non grata for supposedly siding with Israel is that Schmale has a long record of employing admirers of Hitler and other antisemites and Jihadi terrorism supporters as UNRWA teachers and principals. ”
.@matzschmale Have you no shame to be UNRWA's NYC fundraiser when you oversaw pro-Hitler UNRWA teachers in Lebanon? https://t.co/XzQFAJdbwn pic.twitter.com/zbPaBTbr0q

1. “Matthias Schmale, UNRWA Gaza director, 2017-2021: “Many people told me through my four years, there’s tunnels everywhere and it’s a safe assumption.” https://npr.org/2021/11/18/1056254276/gaza-united-nations-schmale-palestinians-israel… UN spokesman 5 days ago: We never knew a thing about any tunnels.”

2. “Principal problem with UNRWA Gaza chief Matthias Schmale is not his poor spelling but refusal to ever mention Hamas rule.”

Hamas pressures UNRWA to remove Matthias Schmale
1. “UNRWA Gaza chief Matthias Schmale has reportedly left Gaza, according to BBC journalist Sebastian Usher. This follows Hamas-orchestrated protests against Schmale for agreeing on TV that the IDF in Gaza was “very precise” and “didn’t hit, with some exceptions, civilian targets.”

2. “So UNRWA has effectively disciplined their Gaza chief Matthias Schmale—by pulling him from his post, and announcing a review of their response mechanism—because he said on TV that Israel did not target civilians, which angered Hamas. Shame on you, UNRWA.”

3. “Matthias Schmale, we’ll never forget you. In May, as UNRWA’s Gaza chief you unwittingly trashed the Hamas-KenRoth narrative by agreeing that Israel’s strikes on Hamas targets were “very precise,” “hugely sophisticated,” and “didn’t hit, with some exceptions, civilian targets.” 1/3

Finally, Herr @matzschmale, for the record we never understood why Hamas was so harsh with you. After all, as the former head of UNRWA Lebanon, you oversaw pro-Hitler school principals like Ahmad Nasser pictured with you here. 3/3https://t.co/kjGTdBAcS8
