The role of UNRWA in preparing their students for war

Following our center’s March 13 presentation at the British Parliament concerning UNRWA education, Sir Peter Luff, MP for Mid Worcestershire, asked for evidence that would support our center’s finding that UNRWA is preparing its students for war.

In response to MP Luff’s request, The Center for Near East Policy Research asked Dr. Arnon Groiss, who holds a PHD in Islamic Studies from Princeton University and who has worked with the Arabic Language Service of the Voice of Israel Radio for the past 40 years, to consolidate documentation about how the “The Armed Struggle, Jihad and Martyrdom are taught in schools operated by UNRWA in the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza”

This report is particularly important because the US this week allocated $2.5 million for UNRWA schools in Jerusalem, with no constraints. http://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/press-releases/us-25-million-boost-unrwa-schools-east-jerusalem
