Records seized by Israel reveal a disturbing pattern: the presence of Hamas operatives within the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) school system. The sheer scale of this infiltration is shocking; reports indicate at least 24 UNRWA employees across 24 different schools held membership in Hamas or Islamic Jihad. This wasn’t a localized incident; it points to a systemic problem deeply embedded within UNRWA’s structure.
This revelation casts a harsh light on the UN’s claims of impartiality and raises serious questions about its oversight mechanisms. The UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services’ report, while acknowledging some instances of potential Hamas involvement among UNRWA staff, notably failed to consider significant evidence provided by Israel regarding alleged membership in Hamas’ armed wing.… Continue reading
The United Nations special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has withdrawn from a Montreal conference that included the founder of a designated terror group, Samidoun. Charlotte Kates, founder of Samidoun, had been set to participate in the inaugural “Coordinating Council 4 Palestine” conference. Albanaese’s withdrawal followed outcry from Jewish leaders over her plans to speak at the event, given her alleged antisemitic remarks and planned involvement with a terror group leader. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs has asked for her dismissal from her UN role, and there have been calls to bar her from entering Canada. Kates, based in Vancouver, is a leader of Samidoun, which was designated a terror entity by Canadian and US authorities due to ties with another terror group.

Zelenskyy’s decision to reject UN Secretary General António Guterres’ visit to Kyiv after his trip to Russia resonates deeply with the state of international diplomacy today. The timing of Guterres’ potential visit, immediately following his participation in the BRICS conference in Kazan, where he appeared closeted with figures like Putin and Lukashenko, feels particularly tone-deaf. Ukraine is grappling with a war that poses a profound threat to its sovereignty, and here we have the head of an organization that is meant to uphold global peace currying favor with apparent aggressors.
The sentiment that Guterres was not welcome in Ukraine post-Kazan is not merely a matter of diplomatic etiquette, but a sharp rebuke of his actions as Secretary General.… Continue reading
Israel’s decision to bar UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres from entering the country is a bold move that has sparked controversy and debate. The Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, claims that Guterres was denied entry due to his failure to unequivocally condemn Iran’s missile attack on Israel. This decision raises questions about the power and authority of the Foreign Minister to prevent such high-profile figures from visiting the country. Regardless of the specifics, the implications of this act cannot be ignored or brushed aside.
Guterres, who has been accused of bias and indifference towards Israeli security concerns, has been at the center of criticism for his failure to condemn Iran’s aggression and the tactics of terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah.… Continue reading
Steph Curry did it again, didn’t he? The man is a magician with the basketball. That last shot he made, that incredible 3-pointer, words fail to describe the sheer brilliance of it. It was like watching an artist paint a masterpiece on the canvas, except in this case, the canvas was the basketball court. Curry’s skills are unparalleled, and I was left absolutely awestruck by his performance.
As the game unfolded, France put up a tough fight, staying neck and neck with the USA team till the very end. Kerr was right when he mentioned that USA basketball is a team whose fans would only be satisfied with gold.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news about the U.N. agency firing 9 of its staffers due to their potential involvement in the October 7 attack on Israel, I can’t help but feel a mix of shock, disbelief, and frustration. The fact that these individuals may have been involved in activities as serious as kidnapping, without facing any legal consequences other than losing their jobs, is truly disturbing. It raises serious questions about the vetting process and accountability within the U.N. agency.
Reading through the comments and reactions online, it’s disheartening to see the lack of accountability and justice that accompanies such a grave situation.… Continue reading
So, Steven van de Velde, the Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of raping a child, has been eliminated from the Olympics. And honestly, it’s about time. The fact that he was even allowed to compete in the first place is utterly sickening. How could the Olympic committee, the Netherlands Olympic Committee, and the Netherlands Volleyball Federation condone sending a convicted child rapist to represent their country on an international stage is beyond comprehension to me.
I can’t even begin to fathom how anyone could cheer for him or support his participation in the games. The message that this sends is clear – that winning a medal is worth championing a heinous criminal like him.… Continue reading
I am absolutely appalled by the recent news of Belgium withdrawing from the mixed relay triathlon at the Olympics after an athlete who swam in the Seine River fell ill. The fact that the Seine River was tested at 985 CFU/100 mL just days before the event is outrageous. The water guidelines are in place for a reason, and it is unfathomable that officials would allow athletes to swim in water that clearly does not meet the safety standards. It is incredibly irresponsible and negligent on the part of the organizers.
The health and safety of the athletes should always be the utmost priority, and in this case, it was blatantly disregarded.… Continue reading
Simone Biles trolls Trump after making Olympic history: ‘I love my Black job’
Simone Biles, the incredible gymnast who has captivated the world with her unmatched talent and determination, recently made headlines once again by expertly trolling former President Donald Trump. After making history at the Olympics, Biles took to social media to proclaim, “I love my Black job,” along with a black heart emoji. The internet erupted with applause and laughter, while some were quick to predict Trump’s inevitable response.
It’s no secret that Trump has a history of making racist and derogatory remarks, so it’s no surprise that Biles decided to use her platform to hit back at the former president.… Continue reading
As I sit down to write about the recent controversy surrounding JK Rowling’s tweets against Lin Yu-ting’s participation in the Olympics, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of disappointment. Here we have a woman, Lin Yu-ting, who started boxing at the young age of 13 to protect her mother from domestic violence, and instead of celebrating her courage and determination, Rowling decides to target her with baseless accusations.
It is truly disheartening to see someone with such a massive platform, like JK Rowling, using it to spread hate and misinformation. Lin Yu-ting has always been a female athlete, and there is no reason for her gender to be questioned simply because she doesn’t fit into Rowling’s narrow definition of what a woman should look like.… Continue reading
