European Parliament Denounces UNRWA Role in Inciting Violence, Antisemitism
by Dion J. Pierre, Algemeiner, April 11, 2024:
Antisemitic incitement and glorification of terrorism in Palestinian textbooks issued by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was a cause of Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, the European Parliament (EP) declared in a series of resolutions passed last week.
The resolutions mark the latest denouncement of the Palestinian education by the EP and some of the first to address strong evidence that over a dozen UNRWA staff aided Hamas’ raping and slaughtering of Israeli civilians. Together, they rued the possibility that European tax dollars were funneled into Hamas and called for a complete restructuring, as well as increased oversight, of the Palestinian education system to ensure that antisemitic themes are purged from curricula in the Palestinian territories so long as the institutions administering them receive European aid.
“Today the European Parliament condemned the problematic and hateful contents encouraging violence, spreading antisemitism and inciting hatred in Palestinian school textbooks,” German Member of European Parliament (MEP) Niclas Herbst said in a statement praising the action. “The European Parliament reaffirmed in the context of despicable terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on 7th October 2023 that education to hatred has direct and dramatic consequences on the security of Israelis, as well as the perspectives of a better future for young Palestinians. Therefore, the EP requests the Commission to closely scrutinize that no UNWRA funds are allocated to the use of such hateful materials.”
As The Algemeiner has previously reported, UNRWA textbooks are among the most antisemitic and inciting in the world. No discipline is untouched by the problem. From math to theology, to literature and science, their content promotes blistering hatred for Jews and Israel, indoctrinating students as young as six to commit their lives to “martyrdom” and inter-generational war. Compromise with Israelis is described as betraying Palestinian identity, suicide-bombings as intrinsic to it and a prerequisite for entry into heaven….
Impact-se has been a leading critic of the role Palestinian curricula plays in stoking the embers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and fostering religious extremism. In March, the organization unveiled transcriptions of recordings confirming the roles of Yusef Zidan Sliman Al-Hawajri and Mamdouh Hussein Ahmad Al-Qek — both of whom were hired as educators by the organization — in Oct. 7, citing them as evidence that UNRWA has violated its mandate.

Watchdog Identifies UN Agency Staff Who Participated
in Oct. 7 Hamas Massacre
by Dion J. Pierre, Algemeiner, March 6, 2024:
“We have female hostages, I captured one,” Al-Hawarji, who is both an Arabic teacher at the UNRWA-funded Deir al-Balah Boys’ Elementary School and a member of the Hamas Central Campus Brigade, can be heard saying in recordings obtained by IMPACT-se. “We will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque … they did actions for liberations [sic], God willing.”
Al-Hawarji also specifically alluded to kidnapping a “sabaya,” a term jihadists use to describe sex slaves.
In a separate recording quoted by the watchdog group, Al-Qek — both an UNRWA elementary school teacher and a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s (PIJ) Rafah Brigade — celebrated infiltrating Israeli territory during a phone call to family members, saying, “I’m inside! I’m with the Jews.”

USC: Muslim valedictorian will not give graduation speech
after discussion over her remarks took ‘alarming tenor’
True to form, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) turns the story around, claiming that shutting down the speech from this hateful young lady “empowers voices of hate.” Anyone who threatened her should be fully prosecuted under the relevant laws, but CAIR is extraordinarily hypocritical here, as it has frequently applauded when leftist and Muslim thugs shut down speakers who are defending freedom and standing against jihad violence. CAIR says nothing, of course, about her desire to destroy Israel, which would involve the killing of millions of Jews. As far as CAIR is concerned, that’s not “hate.” Anyway, no one has a natural right to speak at a graduation ceremony, and yet Asna Tabassum was not likely to have said anything beyond the spurious demonization of Israel and false claims of “Palestinian” victimhood that USC students have likely heard thousands of times already in their classes. There is no need for all the lies to be repeated yet again to the students who are, mercifully, on their way out.
California valedictorian will no longer give graduation speech
over ‘alarming’ discussion
by Anthony Robledo, USA Today, April 15, 2024:
The University of Southern California said its valedictorian will no longer deliver a graduation speech this year, citing “substantial risks relating to security” over social media chatter surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Los Angeles school revealed that Asna Tabassum, a fourth-year student from Chino Hills, California, was selected as the valedictorian and would give a speech alongside two salutatorians. In a news release Monday, the university said she would no longer speak at the ceremony after the discussion about her selection took on “an alarming tenor.”
The move comes after some students, alumni and others complained to the university about Tabassum’s social media, which includes an Instagram bio that links to a pro-Palestine website.
“The intensity of feelings, fueled by both social media and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, has grown to include many voices outside of USC and has escalated to the point of creating substantial risks relating to security and disruption at commencement,” Provost Andrew Guzman said in a statement.
Guzman said the school can not ignore that similar risks led to harassment and violence at other campuses. He added that the school’s Department of Public Safety and campus safety team have consulted to evaluate potential threats for graduation, which typically draws around 65,000 people.
“This decision is not only necessary to maintain the safety of our campus and students, but is consistent with the fundamental legal obligation – including the expectations of federal regulators – that universities act to protect students and keep our campus community safe,” he said.
It's good that they are concerned about safety. It's disappointing that they have no apparent concern for the hatred of Jews.
Tabassum addressed the university’s decision in a statement released through the Council on American-Islamic Relations-Los Angeles.
“Although this should have been a time of celebration for my family, friends, professors, and classmates, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian voices have subjected me to a campaign of racist hatred because of my uncompromising belief in human rights for all,” Tabassum said.
Except for Jews, of course.
The council said the school’s decision empowers voices of hate, violates its obligation to project students and “sends a terrible message to not only Muslim students at USC but all students who dare to express support for Palestinian humanity.” It’s also urging the community to demand the school to allow Tassabum to speak at graduation.
We saw an example of Palestinian humanity on Oct 7th. We can do without it! This is another example of *SR - Satanic Reversal > attributing humane qualities to Palestinians who raped, murdered, beheaded, massacred, tortured, kidnapped innocent Jews.
Among the calls against Tassabum as a graduation speaker were student group “Trojans For Israel,” who said her selection turned “an inclusive and meaningful milestone into an unwelcoming and intolerant environment for Jewish graduates and their families.”…
