After the Iranian-sponsored Hamas terrorist group invaded Israeli communities and massacred families, and fired thousands of rockets from Gaza across Israel, UN Watch is refuting misinformation and exposing the apologists of terrorism, while amplifying the voices of democracy, human rights and decency. See below a selection of our posts and interviews.

.@UNLazzarini @UNRWA Were you aware Hamas terrorists are firing from your school? Which other of your schools hide weapons or terrorists? Why are you silent as Hamas abuses your schools, puts civilians at risk and violates the Geneva Conventions & international humanitarian law? https://t.co/N593J7FVjj

BREAKING:🇨🇭bans Hamas, moves to defund UNRWA.@nzz: “The National Council decided to cut $23 million in funding for UNRWA. Recently the human rights group UN Watch reported on UNRWA teachers who glorify the Hamas massacre on Israel & promote antisemitism.”https://t.co/1VTFdrZcdO pic.twitter.com/DNkLIGYySP

HUGE: 🇨🇭Swiss Parliament moves to defund UNRWA. MP David Zuberbühler: “It is an open secret that in UNWRA schools they continue to glorify terrorism, incite violence and promote antisemitism. A majority of the National Council has finally recognized this.” https://t.co/cDTTv8TfsA https://t.co/cv8MofcESu pic.twitter.com/DO6Bgx9wFx

Justin Trudeau joins the jackals.
Britain, Netherlands, Germany & 30 others refused to support a text that failed to condemn Hamas and calls into question Israel's right to defend itself.
But you, @JustinTrudeau, you voted for it—with Iran, Russia, Syria, Libya & North Korea. https://t.co/t4hBzVVqTs

Amnesty always wants whatever Hamas wants.
Hamas wants to save its murder machine with a ceasefire. Amnesty calls for a ceasefire.
Amnesty doesn't even make a pretense of caring about the 138 Israeli hostages tortured now by Hamas or 11,000 rockets fired on Israel. Silence. https://t.co/KHywakKtC9

Is the Red Cross really a “neutral intermediary”?
Out of 187 tweets on the Hamas-Israel war, 77% rebuked Israel: https://t.co/lQh6MNoFi6…
On October 17, they promoted the false Hamas story that Israel “destroyed” Al-Ahli hospital. In fact, it was attacked by a Jihad rocket. https://t.co/l7aahyOpum

Notice how UNRWA always advocates for what Hamas wants, in this case a ceasefire.
UNRWA never tries to end the war by calling on Hamas to surrender and release all the hostages.
UNRWA claims to be neutral, but it's institutionally captured by Hamas. Your taxes are funding this. https://t.co/LdofHYCbsl

UN spokesman says UNRWA takes allegations of a hostage-holding teacher seriously; if anyone has info linking UNRWA staff to Hamas, they should pass it on to UNRWA.
But @antonioguterres, we found 150 cases: https://t.co/j10dSG6bgC

Gaza is always running out of everything. . . . except rockets. https://t.co/SVd4z1H3GQ

11,490 rockets fired at Israel since October 7th.
Hamas fires them at Israeli civilians, from civilian areas in Gaza. A double war crime.
When the UN accuses Israel of being “disproportionate,” they never assess to what—the valid military objective of ending terrorist rockets.

Meet the Hamas commanders of the Northern Brigade. They're smiling and well fed, sitting on cushions in their multi-million-dollar terror tunnels. Hamas couldn't care less about the Palestinian people, whom they are keen to sacrifice for their nihilistic Islamist death cult. https://t.co/WBzsD0f69b

BREAKING: Shocking antisemitic materials have been distributed at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
The booklet glorifies terrorism, portrays Jews with big noses, pushes antisemitic conspiracies, labels the time since Oct 7th as the "Gaza Jihad" and more.

Unbelievable: UNRWA Gaza chief outright ignores questions about UNRWA teacher who reportedly held captive and starved an Israeli hostage. @biannagolodryga @cnn: “How is UNRWA investigating?”@TomWhiteGaza: Ignores.@biannagolodryga: “Does it bother you?”@TomWhiteGaza: Ignores. https://t.co/mzyAz2Mb6R

BREAKING: 🇺🇳 U.N.'s official Gaza casualty count exposed as total fraud. Analysis of their figures—all taken from Hamas—shows that on multiple days they claim Israeli air strikes on Hamas targets miraculously failed to hit any men at all, only hundreds of women and children. 🧵: https://t.co/z4nhcVcBkN

BREAKING: 🇩🇪 Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee's Frank Müller-Rosentritt calls on the UN to fire its Palestine Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for fomenting antisemitic hatred.
Albanese compares Israelis to Nazis and rants about “the Jewish Lobby.” More: https://t.co/lh0CKH9CMW https://t.co/bCMU4ENzqj

The UN's Francesca Albanese just accused Israel of committing Genocide like the Nazis. But she's done so for years—that's why the UNHRC chose her. She also says “America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby” & told a Hamas conference last year: “You have a right to resist.” 🧵: https://t.co/HeO8q4WaXc

Quoted in National Review: “Germany announced it would be freezing funding to UNRWA. This followed UN Watch's report—‘UNRWA: Hate Starts Here’—documenting numerous senior-ranking members of UNRWA gloating about the October 7 atrocities.”

For @UN_Women, “no means no” in every language — except for Hebrew.
They included 39 languages, and yet with 35 characters remaining in the tweet, they chose not to add "לא".
For @UN_Women, the lives of Israeli women don't matter.#BelieveIsraeliWomen #MeTooUnlessUrAJew https://t.co/bp4PrKa5ch

Meet Rawya Halas, head of UNRWA's Khan Younis training center. On October 7, she eulogized one of the Hamas murderers: “Hero, hero, hero, a thousand mercies, may light shine on your soul!
