Today's The Australian is reporting that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is investigating revelations the UN's top Palestinian aid agency - to which Australia contributes $10m a year — has been publishing violent, anti-Semitic materials in Gaza Strip and West Bank classrooms." (You can read more about it here - tinyurl.com/y6mqgygd) Zionist Federation of Australia President Jeremy Leibler said he wasn’t surprised by the revelations. “UNRWA teachers have been Hamas members and supporters of violence against Israeli civilians. UNRWA schools have been used as staging grounds and storage facilities for terrorists. Indeed, UNRWA has long had a role in maintaining the conflict against Israel and there is absolutely no surprise in the fact that UNRWA schoolbooks have been discovered to contain so much hateful material.”Mr Leibler continued, “In 2019, the ZFA called upon the Australian Government to defund UNRWA due to its corruption and support for terrorism. All Australian funding for UNRWA should be re-purposed to a reputable organisation until UNRWA can finally prove itself to be a catalyst for Israeli–Palestinian peace, instead of a hindrance.”Click on the link below to read an Op-Ed by Jeremy on the issue from way back in September 2019. www.theaustralian.com.au/commentary/australia-pays-to-foster-hate/news-story/c719c39f79a08df47314... ...
