Israel accused 12 members
of the UNRWA staff of fighting for HAMAS or other terrorist groups. This is being used as
an excuse to cut off the aid to the Palestinians. Israel kept the information secret for
months until a time when it badly needed to distract public opinion from the war crimes
court’s judgment
against Israel.

The UNRWA is a UN humanitarian aid agency, not intended as a police
force or peace keepers. It has 13,000 or so staff in Gaza,
99% of
whom are Palestinians from Gaza.
If 12 of them were fighting for HAMAS, that amounts to 0.1% of the
total staff. For a large organization in Gaza to have such a small
fraction of HAMAS fighters is doing pretty well at avoiding them.
