Many talk about the collective punishment of Gazans. I think it is time to shift the paradigm and start addressing the Gazan's collective responsibility for their fate. Is it possible that no Gazan was aware of what was happening under their feet and never questioned the reason for it? Is it possible that parents allow their young children to glorify martrydom knowing the inevitable future that will ensue for that young boy? Do they hold their children's lives so cheaply? Teachers of the world should protest against fellow educators who teach hatred against another people in a classroom and be brazen about it too!

Talk should be about the collective punishment Hamas and its proxy UNRWA have inflicted upon Gazans: brainwashing them to worship Jihad and martydom and branding them, from birth, as poor refugees - the greatest promise in Gaza is to join Hamas. That's where the money is! Billions from aid.

Regarding UNRWA, this FDD Hearing - November 8 2023 - video (3 hours) & summary in the link - is very informative:

Also,

1. West Bank: Askar UNRWA refugee camp & UNWRA summer camp 2023 - on the walls all around the 'refugee' towns are posters of dead terrorists with guns: martyrs praised as heroes & kids summer camp groups named after them:

Interviewer: What do they teach you at school?

Kid: We must sacrifice ourselves and become martyrs ... With Allah's help the Jews will all die

Teacher: The children learn about heroism from martyrs. They have great motivation. Every child is ready to be a martyr.

I just don’t think the people calling for a ceasefire have any idea what Israel is dealing with in terms of an enemy and the level of brainwashing from a young age. Hamas are playing with 2 narratives - emboldened warriors with a cause to free Palestine, then switch to victims of an aggressor when they are beaten back. Very manipulative and even done badly, but it seems to attract idiotic sympathisers. It’s frustrating, as I don’t think people are looking into the mindset

Agree. Free Palestine - when they talk about the Occupied Palestinian Territory they are talking about the State of Israel: clearly seen in the above videos.

Regarding calls for ceasefire, UNSC Resolutions were geared against Israel: cogs in the wheel exampled in today's announcement UN Chief, Guterres, (strategically) appointed SIGRID KAAG as Gaza humanitarian relief coordinator - to facilitate, coordinate, monitor and verify aid consignments - appointing the position is in line with the recently passed UNSC Resolution.

So, who is SIGRID KAAG?

Some history (PLO husband & her previous UNRWA and UNICEF positions).

1. 2017: Sigrid Kaag is MARRIED TO a former PLO senior official and has called Jewish settlers 'illegal colonists'. (Haaretz)

2. 2018: Sigrid Kaag - the Netherlands’ minister for foreign trade and development cooperation - ONCE WORKED FOR UNRWA. Her ministry pledged $218,000 to Breaking the Silence in its 2018 budget: calls on Jews around world to criticize Israeli occupation; urging Jewish communities globally to 'voice their opposition'. (ToI)

3. 2021: Sigrid Kaag's ministries are REFUSING TO account for funds transferred to Palestinian NGOs, including those operating out of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. (Hayom)

4. 2023: Sigrid Kaag, who FINANCED a Palestinian terror to speak at Kristallnacht commemoration, SENT MILLIONS TO to a terror-linked Palestinian NGO. (JNS)

5. 2008: Sigrid Kaag, UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, YouTube video "Palestinian children bear brunt of conflict: GAZA Occupied Palestinian Territory. [ ... of course, Israel withdrew from Gaza 2 years prior to this video and Hamas has had military and administrative control since 2007: calling Gaza occupied has been a campaign of UN and political polemics].

Wow it’s pretty much a case of ‘follow the money’ with Sigrid Kaag. I wonder how well she did out of these arrangements? Most of the G7 defence departments will be aware of her background, but there’s clearly a lot of geopolitics at play as the corrupt UNRWA still exists and the UN keeps repeating the same lies even when they are debunked by facts every time. It has reached a level of absurdity.

Yes, also Francesca Albanese - appointed (strategically) as UN Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur tasked with investigating “Israel’s violations" - who since Oct 7th has portrayed Israelis as N*is, claimed Israel’s right to self-defence is “non-existent”, and has a pro-Hamas & anti-Semitic history.

Oh so much for the UN’s Code of Ethics then, which lists impartiality as one of the core values of its staff. What a joke! Thank you for this information

In my experience a mere suspicion on a financial transaction triggers an STR (suspicious transaction report) to the Compliance Department of a financial institution. Is funding to UNRWA effected in cash? Not likely, so who is checking the audit trail? Ignoring a suspicious transaction is also a crime under the laws for the Prevention of Money Laundering. And it seems that claims on how international funds are utilised by Hamas are very loud and clear. Anybody home, home, home?

In one of his interviews right after Oct 7, Ghazi Hamad of Hamas boasted of repeating Oct 7 a million times until Israel and Jews are exterminated and driven out. When asked about taking care of the Palestinians in Gaza, he said that's not Hamas' responsibility -- it's the responsibility of the UN and others like the EU, etc. He said that Gazans are glad, willing "martyrs". Hamas delenda est. Netanyahu is correct, Hamas must be destroyed, and the Gazan culture must be de-radicalized. That will mean evicting the UN and UNRWA and other NGOs who facilitate the education and corrupt economics of the Strip and doing what we did in Germany and Japan to rid the countries of Nazis and Tojo militants.

So Ms Kaag is a native of the country who actually contributed towards a word in the Oxford Concise dictionary - apartheid?! Please Sir, can we have some more (information on who gets appointed by the UN) ?

True. Apartheid in South Africa was much to do with the Dutch!

Back to education. When I read the story of Noah's Ark I find it difficult telling 3 and 4 year olds about the cataclysm of the universal flood so I mellow it down to them explaining that if we don't care for our environment we will loose a lot of beautiful animals and plants and that Noah was very wise to built an ark to save as many animals as he could from heavy rain. And that is how the story goes during my reading animation session for kindergarten children. Can we have some examples of 'education' material given to Gazan children? In English please because I don't understand street Arabic.
