UNWRA exposed

Excellent -- and chilling -- piece by David Bedein about the role played by UNRWA in disseminating lies about the Palestinian refugees. It is simply not realised what a significant part the NGOs play in creating and sustaining the west's terrifying and all-consuming culture of lies -- not least because people assume that, unlike politicians, they tell the truth. The website NGO Monitor plays a very useful role, but this message needs to get into the mainstream media.

And to David's piece could be added the original UNWRA definition of a 'refugee' - someone who had been resident in the area for a minimum of only two years.

What makes it worse is the comparion with UNHCR.
UNHCR staff 5,000 has helped 50,000,000 to restart their lives.
UNWRA staff 24,000, has helped 0 people to restart their lives.
