New US lawsuit demands UNRWA pay for crimes of Hamas, Hezbollah

[IsraelTimes] Filing follows Department of Justice position in April that Palestinian refugee agency is not entitled to immunity

and Hezbollah attacks, as well as relatives of such individuals, are suing the UN’s Paleostinian refugee agency UNRWA, demanding it be held liable for aiding and enabling the actions of the terror groups.
The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reports that the lawsuit was filed Thursday at a federal court in DC, based on a Department of Justice decision in April that UNRWA is not entitled to immunity from US lawsuits.
According to the complaint, UNRWA has provided material aid to Hamas and Hezbollah in violation of antiterrorism laws. It also claims that UNRWA USA of assisting by gathering donations.
The lawsuit alleges that rather than promoting peace and coexistence, UNRWA actively encourages anti-Israel and antisemitic attitudes through its positions, services, and education system.
A second lawsuit filed in New York last year by the families of more than 100 victims of the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led terror assault is ongoing.
UNRWA, formally titled the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees in the Near East, was established in 1949 following the 1948 War of Independence with Arab armies that accompanied the creation of the modern State of Israel. It provides aid, health and education to millions of Paleostinians in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

, and Jordan.
Some 5.9 million people are registered as Paleostinian refugees by UNRWA, because they are descended from Arabs displaced in the war surrounding Israel’s creation in 1948.
| Reduced by Israeli genocide from about 500,000 refugees in 1948. Compare to the population increase of the 500,000 or so Jews driven out of the Moslem Middle East over the next four years. It could be argued that what we saw was a simple population exchange like in India/Pakistan the year before, but what’s the fun of that? |
Israel has long argued that UNRWA perpetuates the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict by using this definition of refugee, the only case globally in which the status is passed down generationally. The rest of the world’s refugees are under a different UN agency that doesn’t enable passing down the status to offspring who themselves haven’t been displaced. The UNRWA definition of refugees means that the Paleostinian refugee population is always increasing over time, even when the refugee descendants attain citizenship in another country.
An Israeli ban on the agency was passed by the Knesset in November with a large majority that included the support of opposition parties, amid a series of revelations about employees of the agency who were actively involved in terror groups in the Gaza Strip, participation of some of its staff in the October 7 Hamas invasion and slaughter, and repeated use of UNRWA infrastructure for terror activities.
Israel has also provided evidence that the agency’s schools incited hatred of Israel and glorification of attacks against Israelis.
In September 2024, the Department of Justice, then under the administration of former president Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
, asserted that the UN had not waived its immunity in US courts, and as such UNRWA was exempt from prosecution and the New York lawsuit could not proceed.
But in April, the department said that while "previously, the Government expressed the view that certain immunities shielded UNRWA from having to answer" to allegations regarding its role in the "heinous offenses" of October 7, it had "since reevaluated that position, and now concludes UNRWA is not immune from this litigation."
Presenting its position, the department stated that while the UN in and of itself enjoys immunity in US courts, its "subsidiary organs," such as UNRWA, do not.
