October 7th Survivors File Lawsuit Against UNRWA
“All that is left is to fight to hold those responsible for strengthening Hamas to account.”
Sometimes this is the only way to make people listen.

Oct. 7 survivors sue UNRWA
More than 100 victims of Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre filed a lawsuit in U.S. federal court today, alleging that a scandal-plagued U.N. agency has led a long-standing money-laundering operation to the financial benefit of the terror group.
The suit, filed in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, names as defendants the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and seven commissioners-general, deputy commissioners-general and a director, accusing them of participating in a decade-plus scheme of fraud and corruption.
“There is no pain in the world that compares to burying your children and grandchildren who were murdered and suffocated in their own home,” said Gadi and Reuma Kadem in a statement. “All that is left is to fight to hold those responsible for strengthening Hamas to account. UNRWA strengthened Hamas and transferred funds and financed the murders, acting as a full partner in the growth of Hamas terrorists. UNRWA and its directors are fully complicit in the murder of my children and family. ”
UNRWA, the Palestinian-only aid and social services agency, has long been accused of fomenting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through its unique treatment and perpetuation of the Palestinian refugee situation, incitement to violence in its schools and its employees’ ties to terror organizations.
“The findings in this lawsuit demonstrate that UNRWA was aware of and actively participated in the diversion of funds earmarked to support the people of Gaza into channels that ensured those funds were used for terrorism and in violation of international law,” said Bijan Amini, one of the lead lawyers in the case. “UNRWA’s insistence that over a billion dollars in Gaza aid be distributed in U.S. cash that locals could not spend without going through Hamas moneychangers is one of the most damning pieces of new evidence presented in this case.”

Hot diggity! Finally! I hope the jurisdiction is justice-friendly.
The UN, its agencies & officers do not have sovereign immunity?
There’s the rub: which US Court has jurisdiction over this? I’m pretty sure that the UN, while actually occupying space in the Peoples’ Republik of New York, is formally and legalistically a sovereign place. As such, only the highly anti-semitic International court would have that jurisdiction.
The fox is officially in charge of the hen house.
I suspect that the UN agency is judgement proof.
The plaintiffs do not have any rights to the agency’s assets until a trial is held and a judgement is entered by the court.
Any judgement is several years away.
The agency can prevent any judgement from being collected by spending all of its money and then closing down completely.
now that he has time
jammal bowman will be allowed to sit in as the judge for the case
