‘Terrorism is a feature, not a bug’: How Hamas is intertwined with the UN in Gaza

“The Quad,” Ep. 15

Scandal after scandal has rocked the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), leading to investigations and the suspension of funding by multiple countries. Will UNRWA be defunded once and for all? Can and should it be replaced? How can the hypocrisy and corruption of the United Nations be fought?

To discuss all this, “The Quad” interviews Hillel Neuer, the person responsible for calling out UNRWA and the United Nations repeatedly over the years. They also discuss the Israeli rescue last week of two hostages from Gaza, as well as the attempt to address antisemitism at the Super Bowl. And, of course, Scumbags and Heroes of the Week—with special guest comedian Elon Gold.

JNS TV show with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum (deputy mayor of Jerusalem), Emily Schrader (activist and journalist), Ashira Solomon (African-American Jew and political moderator) and Vivian Bercovici (former Canadian ambassador to Israel).
Mika Hackner, of NAVI, told JNS that “it is not the role of a teacher to bring their own personal political views into the classroom.”
Hamas “wanted to win. We defeated them, first and foremost here on the Temple Mount,” Israel’s national security minister said.
“Any use of force” from Lebanese territory against Israeli civilians or soldiers will be met with a “decisive response,” the statement warned.
The protest coincided with the anti-Israel film’s screening and featured excerpts from “October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre.”
