Veteran UNRWA Teacher Exposes Alleged Hamas Radicalization, Hatred of Jews in Gaza Schools
The teacher said the warning followed her objections to lessons that praised Hamas and blamed Jews, amid renewed scrutiny of UNRWA schools.
- On Monday, a 15-year geography educator at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza City alleged a school administrator threatened to cut out her tongue after she challenged lessons promoting hatred of Jews.
- The educator originally joined UNRWA believing its schools provided a safe environment insulated from Hamas's ideology, but she instead discovered colleagues encouraging hostility toward Jews and glorifying the violent struggle against Israel.
- Describing a reality "very far from what I had imagined," she recounted how a senior official confronted her while holding scissors, threatening physical harm if she continued objecting to the lessons.
- Withholding her identity due to safety concerns, the educator shared her account in a New York Post interview Monday, warning that such indoctrination could produce another massacre like the October 7, 2023 attack.
- UNRWA, which received approximately $375 million from the State Department between 2018 and 2024, faces ongoing scrutiny over allegations that some staff participated in the October 7 attacks and educational materials violated UN neutrality principles.
