Hamas’ Exploitation of Gaza Children and UNRWA’s Role Unveiled

The Media Line’s recent article by Debbie Mohnblatt exposes the extensive abuse of Gaza’s children by Hamas and the complicity of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The report reveals how Hamas has been using educational institutions to indoctrinate children with anti-Israel and antisemitic ideologies. Evidence of this indoctrination includes the discovery of military equipment in schools, Hamas tunnels under baby cribs, and rocket launchers in children’s areas.

UN Watch, a Geneva-based organization, uncovered a Telegram group of 3,000 UNRWA staff members celebrating Hamas atrocities. This finding, along with the content of the UNRWA curriculum, indicates a systemic problem within the agency. Dina Rovner of UN Watch highlighted that more than 150 UNRWA staff have been found posting content inciting antisemitism and jihadism on Facebook since 2015.

Dr. Michael Barak, a senior researcher, emphasizes that indoctrinating children is a core tactic of Hamas. This includes using magazines and video games to glorify martyrdom and training children in military exercises. Furthermore, Hamas uses children as human shields, storing weapons in schools and hospitals. This strategy is intended to inflate Palestinian casualty figures and international pressure on Israel.

The article argues that for peace to be achievable, Palestinians must be taught to pursue peace rather than martyrdom and jihad. The full article delves deeper into these issues and can be read on The Media Line’s website.
