The alternate universe of @UNRWAUSA's Israel haters

Last night was the Institute for Middle East Understanding annual gala.

The Israel-hating, terror-supporting members of UNRWA-USA attended and tweeted about the event.

They were very happy to have a chance to see BDS activist and academic fraud Marc Lamont Hill.

Thank you for all you do, @marclamonthill! https://t.co/YspFFgwTjF

They were starstruck by serial liar and antisemite Roger Waters.

The IMEU honored Hanan Ashrawi, whose organization Miftah has pushed antisemitic memes and supports violence against Jews. In a normal world, someone who had been linked to the worst kind of bigotry would be shunned forever. But Hanan Ashrawi is a rock star to the UNRWA-USA gang:

Yes, these mental midgets really believe that "occupation" is the "highest form of violence" when tens of thousands of people are being slaughtered in Syria only a few miles away. These people honestly believe that Palestinians are not responsible for their own explicit support of terror because "occupation" is so terrible - but they would never dare justify violence by those whose lands are occupied by Russia or China or Turkey or Morocco. 

Why is Israel, unique in the world, responsible for the violence that is done by others? The reason is because the targets of that violence are Zionist Jews. That's the only difference, and this new version of antisemitism disguised as a political opinion is heartily embraced by these women of UNRWA-USA.

They claim they support non-violence but they do not say a word against the violence practiced and supported daily by their pet Palestinians. They do not spend a penny on any programs to teach Palestinians that they must live in peace with Jews. They do not say a word against a regime that has taught its people incitement instead of normalization; turning terrorists into heroes instead of pariahs,

This is UNRWA-USA.

"@imeu challenges ignorance. Victims will not be silenced, will not be blamed anymore." Hanan Ashrawi. #Palestine

The implication again is that stabbing Jews is a morally neutral or honorable activity and that the people who do it are justified because they are "victims." What a great message from a tax-deductible NGO.

Incredible to have @rogerwaters perform at @theIMEU gala and talk about how he's blacklisted 4 supporting #Palestine http://pic.twitter.com/P4LMJDIfmc

A person who spends his entire life trying to blacklist artists for performing in Israel is whining about being "blacklisted?" I am not aware of a single concert that was cancelled because of Waters' politics. 

Hypocrisy, justification for terror, rabid hate for Israel, inversion of reality, and enthusiasm for people who support antisemitism and terror attacks. That is the IMEU and that is UNRWA-USA.
