It's important to send this letter to urge lawmakers to oppose HR9649, as restoring funding to UNRWA could support activities that promote terrorism, perpetuate violence, and misuse U.S. taxpayer money. By voicing opposition, you aim to protect American interests, promote stability in the Middle East, and prevent further harm to innocent civilians on both sides of the conflict.

The letter calls on members of Congress to reject the HR9649 bill, which proposes restoring U.S. funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). It outlines several key reasons for opposing the bill, starting with the assertion that UNRWA has a documented history of involvement in terrorism. The letter highlights evidence of UNRWA employees participating in or supporting the October 7 terrorist attack against Israel, as well as the use of UNRWA facilities by Hamas and Islamic Jihad for storing weapons and launching attacks on Israeli civilians. Additionally, the letter points out that UNRWA schools are used to indoctrinate children with hate and violence rather than providing proper education, further fueling the conflict.

The letter also addresses the issue of financial accountability, noting that U.S. taxpayer money meant for humanitarian aid is routinely embezzled and used to fund terrorism. It argues that UNRWA has failed to stop the theft of aid by Hamas, effectively turning a blind eye to this misuse of funds. Moreover, the letter critiques the indefinite refugee status that UNRWA grants to multiple generations of Palestinians, including those born outside of the conflict zone. This practice, the letter claims, perpetuates victimhood, creates dependency, and discourages the pursuit of a lasting peace or normalization with Israel.
