UNRWA: Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh Was One of Our Teachers Ahmad Oueidat, UNRWA’s former Director of Professional Development and Curriculum: “UNRWA has tried to constitute a national platform and a long arm which would enable the Palestinian refugees to obtain their rights and first and foremost the Right of Return.” "But what happened was the [West] saw that UNRWA was raising thousands and thousands of cadres, who could gradually contribute to the development of Palestinian society.” “They saw that the UNRWA schools were giving rise to leaders. Many familiar names of politicians and leaders. First and foremost, we can mention Ismail Haniyeh, who was an UNRWA teacher, and so was Dr. Talal Naji, Secretary-General of the PFLP-GC.” “The Israelis, the Americans, and the Western politicians felt that as long as UNRWA upholds its goals, it constitutes a source of danger. This is why they decided to corrupt it.” "They planted [in the curricula] topics that have nothing to do with our values and our heritage, under the fancy slogans like neutrality, independence, impartiality, and humanity – as if UNRWA was not humane and neutral before.” Source: Al-Hiwar TV, March 14, 2024, translated by @MEMRIReports memri.org/tv/fmr-unrwa-o…
