The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The ties between UNRWA and Hamas have always been well-known and well-documented way before the Oct. 7 attacks. However, with UNRWA facilitating these disgusting antisemitic attacks on Israel — as the evidence undoubtedly shows — there can be no choice but to completely close down the organization.

Pro-Palestine narrative

While these are serious allegations against UNRWA, they have yet to be backed up by evidence so they shouldn't be taken at face value. Even if the claims are true, it would amount to just 0.04% of the agency's workers. Should 2.3M Palestinians, who face one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history, face collective punishment for the alleged actions of such a small minority?
