UNRWA is proud of the recent student elections they held under their "human rights" curriculum:
And they list the donors to this successful program at the end.
Isn't this condescending?
Tens of thousands of schools worldwide hold student elections every year. Somehow they manage to do this without huge infusions of international funding and professional videos. The cost is roughly the price of poster materials and markers.
The only way that this makes sense is if the donors don't believe that Palestinian Arab students and teachers have the ability to do this on their own.
Which is, frankly, racist as well as counterproductive.
What kind of message does it give to these girls that their school elections require outside funding from Japan and Sweden? It tells them that they should expect the world to underwrite every normal activity, and it provides a disincentive for them to do it on their own!
Perhaps UNRWA is trying to distract the world from realizing that its "human rights" curriculum in fact includes Jew-hatred and lies. Better to spend money on condescending videos than to actually fix the problems.
