In numerous interviews obtained exclusively by UN Watch, students of UNRWA schools glorify violence and terrorism against Jews. Today, UN Watch released another one of these interviews, as part of a larger trove of evidence showing how UNRWA leaders work closely with top Hamas officials, UNRWA teachers, school principals, teacher union heads and regional directors either belong to or embrace Hamas, and how all of this leads to students embracing violence and terrorism against Jews.
Aya Ahmed Abdullah Sa’id al-Banna, a student at the UNRWA Tulkarm Camp Girls’ School, was taught that “we don’t like Israel,” that Palestinians will “shoot” Israelis, and that the martyrs are “big heroes.” Aya says that she wants to join the resistance “so that I can fight, and take my rights from Israel and become a martyr.”
