Hillel Neuer urged a House foreign affairs committee to 'dissolve' UNRWA
UN aid chiefs in Gaza faced mounting pressure on Tuesday, with revelations that 3,000 of their Palestinian teachers shared messages supporting Hamas militants as they raped and murdered civilians in Israel on Oct 7.
Hillel Neuer, the director of UN Watch, which monitors the UN, told Congress about his probe into a Telegram channel for UN teachers in Gaza that was filled with posts by members praising the bloodbath.
The hearing came in the wake of revelations that 12 employees of the UN's Palestinian aid agency, UNRWA, took part in abductions and killings on Oct 7, prompting the US and others to halt funds for the agency.
Neuer on Tuesday told the House subcommittee that the disgraced UN agency should be permanently 'dissolved.'
'It's time to stop pretending that UNRWA is at all fixable,' said Neuer.
Neuer presented messages from a Telegram group for 3,000 Palestinian teachers with the UN aid agency there, UNRWA
'The very existence of a Telegram group of 3,000 teachers in which members celebrate Hamas atrocities is but a symptom of the core problem of UNRWA: its true purpose is to undo the 1948 creation of Israel.'
His investigation dug into a Telegram chat group used by UNRWA teachers for sharing files, staff names, and curriculum materials.
But it was also replete with posts celebrating Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel, praising the terrorists who raped and murdered civilians as 'heroes.'
Users on the channel glorified the 'education' the terrorists received, shared photos of dead or captured Israelis, and called for hostages to be executed.
Some comments were posted within minutes of Hamas militants beginning their wave of rapes, murders, and kidnappings on Oct 7.
Safaa Mohammad Al Najjar, a group administrator, praised the act of 'resistance' and the 'holy warriors' who broke into Israeli territory.
She decorated her texts with a red heart emoji.
Another member of the group commented on a photo of a dead Hamas fighter.
'Our martyrs are in heaven,' he wrote, adding that Israel's 'dead are in hell.'
Users also regularly share videos, photos, and messages inciting 'Jihadi terrorism' and openly celebrate the massacre and rape of civilians by Hamas terrorists, Neuer told the panel.
In one post highlighted in the report, UNRWA teacher Waseem Ula shared a video glorifying the Hamas attacks and posted a photo of a suicide bomb vest wired with explosives.
The caption read: 'Wait, sons of Judaism.'
He also allegedly glorified one of the Oct. 7 attackers as a 'friend' and 'brother.'
Allah should 'admit him to paradise without judgment,' he added.
Another UNRWA teacher, Abdallah Mehjez, used the group to urge Gazan civilians not to heed Israeli warnings to move out of harm's way and instead to serve as human shields.
The committee also learned that Palestinian students are taught to hate Israelis at UN-backed schools.
UNRWA is 'not as it claims to be, a humanitarian agency that helps Palestinians,' Neuer said.
'It has become part of the problem.'
The hearing was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Palestinian protestors.
It followed the release of an Israeli intelligence dossier that some 190 UNRWA employees, including teachers, had doubled as Hamas or Islamic Jihad militants, featuring names and pictures for 11 them.

Members of the UNRWA took part in killings, kidnappings, and arming terrorists during raids on settlements, the explosive document alleges.
The accused, who have not been named, include teachers, other forms of school workers, a clerk, a social worker and a storeroom manager.
One worker allegedly took part in one of the kibbutz massacres that killed 97 of the 1,200 Israeli victims that day.
Another is accused of kidnapping an Israeli woman into Gaza, while one more is said to have handed out rocket-propelled grenades during the bloody ambush.
The damning accusations say the UNRWA employees did everything from a school counselor who allegedly helped kidnap a woman, others who gave out ammunition and rocket-propelled grenades and another that supposedly took part in a kibbutz slaughter that killed 97 people

The UN aid agency said it had fired those workers who were still alive while they launched an investigation into the bombshell claims.
The US Department of State said it was 'extremely troubled' by the claims and called for 'complete accountability' for those involved in the Oct 7 attacks.
Donors including Germany, Britain, Italy, Australia, Japan, and Finland followed the lead of the US, which said on Friday it had 'temporarily paused additional funding' to the agency.
'In Gaza's rebuilding, UNRWA must be replaced with agencies dedicated to genuine peace and development,' Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said in a statement, urging more donors to suspend funding.
The organization is promising a thorough investigation into the claims, even before the explosive nature of the allegations was revealed.
The Palestinians have accused Israel of falsifying information to tarnish UNRWA.
Israel says that some 1,200 people were killed and 253 kidnapped
by Hamas fighters in the Oct 7 raid, which sparked an Israeli invasion
and a war that's dragged in the US, Iranian proxies and others.
