Latest ArticlesAmerica's Palestine Refugee Policy Is InsaneDecember 19, 2014 • The National Interest One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. By any measurement, Western policy towards United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the internationally funded agency for Palestinian "refugees," meets that definition. One example is the newly released 2015 State Department Framework for Cooperation Between UNRWA and the U.S.
The ASA's glaring hypocrisyOctober 26, 2014 • YNet News The American Studies Association (ASA) adoption of a BDS resolution in December 2013 garnered a significant backlash from over 250 American university presidents and academic umbrella organizations announcing their rejection of the ASA boycott resolution. Additionally, more than 130 lawmakers in the House of Representatives signed a bipartisan letter condemning the ASA's "blatant disregard for academic freedom." New York State assemblymen have proposed a measure that would forbid state funding to academic institutions that "support boycotts, resolutions or any similar actions that are discriminatory and limit academic opportunities."
'Get busy living or get busy dying'October 15, 2014 • Jerusalem Post One line from the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption embodies perfectly the Arab-Israeli conflict, "Get busy living or get busy dying." This line encapsulates the dividing line between Zionism and Islamism - the first is about living and rebuilding and the second glorifies death and martyrdom. It explains why Hamas flatly rejected the Egyptian-brokered cease-fire during Operation Protective Edge; there was no added value politically when civilians in Gaza are used as human shields and bomb shelters are deliberately absent from the public eye. All promoting and illustrating the false reoccurring Palestinian mantra of victimhood.
United Nations agency exposed as a tool for HamasAugust 30, 2014 • Washington Examiner After a shelling outside an United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school in Rafah where at least 10 more Palestinian civilians were tragically killed, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki came out with a harsh statement, saying that "the United States is appalled by today's disgraceful shelling" and urging Israel to do more to "avoid civilian casualties" and protect U.N. facilities. Psaki's comment speaks volumes about how the Obama administration has treated Israel's actions in Gaza. This is troubling given the amount of evidence we have seen over the course of Operation Protective Edge, where in four separate instances UNRWA schools and clinics have harbored arms and terrorists.
Give Palestine -- Not the U.N. -- the Money, Responsibility, and GloryAugust 29, 2014 • The New Republic In responding with pique to our piece on the the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, Matthew Reynolds deflects attention from our real proposal—one that would put the organization at least partially out of business. Reynolds' criticism must be situated properly. Having found the distance from New York to Washington too great, UNRWA opened an office in the capital in 2011. As UNRWA's representative in Washington, Reynold's job is to lobby UNRWA's largest donor, the United States.
