Mona Elhaj Mansour, UNRWA English Teacher, Posts Antisemitism and Legitimizes Violence

Mona Elhaj Mansour lists herself on Facebook as an English teacher at UNRWA. Her profile contains photos of her students inUNRWA classrooms with UNRWA logos.

In November 2019, Mona Elhaj Mansour posted a photo of Netanyahu with antisemitic motifs. The photo depicts Netanyahu, shown with a Star of David on his forehead to symbolize all Jews, as a bloodthirsty devil strangling a Palestinian child to death. This echoes the worst antisemitic blood libels of the Middle Ages in which Jews were accused of killing Christian children. Her comment calls to “wipe out” theJews who are termed “demons.”

Translation:

Your day will come, o oppressor…generation after generation of the nation’s heroes will challenge you, until you die out, you wretches. Regardless of how much our innocent children’s blood is shed, we will not capitulate, and every woman is a childbirth project, which will follow you like a shadow… Our endeavor is the endeavor of wiping you out, you demons.

On May 25, 2021, just after the May 2021 Israel/ Hamas conflict concluded, Mona Elhaj Mansour posted that “peace without justice is just a ceasefire,” indicating her position that violence would continue until “justice” is achieved. What she meant by “justice” is clear from comments that she liked on her post. By “justice” Mansour meant restoring “all of our lands,” and “our dignity in the homeland,” i.e., referring to the entire territory which includes Israel. Mansour adds that “there should be no reconciliation, compromise, or capit- ulation.” To achieve that “justice,” “spilled and unavenged blood has no price.”

Translation:

The land of peace is occupied. There’s no reconciliation, compromise, or capitulation. Spilled and unavenged blood has no price.

Translation of selected comments:

Justice is the restoration of all of our rights, our land, our ancestors, and our dignity in the homeland.

Justice is the restoration of all of our lands and the return to the land ofpeace and love.

May Allah bring justice between us, with the appearance of the Imam [the Mahdi].
