The second paragraph says Israel accused UNWRA employees of participating in the terrorist attacks.

I had to read past the fold to discover that it wasn't just empty accusations, it was investigated and confirmed by UNRWA internally:

> The agency has acted in response to Israel’s accusations. UNRWA this year has fired 13 employees, including nine whom an oversight body determined may have been involved in last year’s Hamas attack based on evidence provided by Israel.

Honestly that seems kind of important for potential donors to know? Good on UNWRA for investigating the issue and dealing with it, but it's also strange that this situation happened at all

Politics. Gaza must not exist at all because it is burning cash from other countries.

One of my friends says that the reason why this and several other important problems haven't been solved is because the problems themselves are just too valuable. Think of all the money flowing around...

I think it's just not how states and state-like organisations should conduct information campaigns.

Israel has over the years investigated and found guilty a number of its citizens as guilty of crimes against Palestinians - nothing surprising about that, in any large community you'll find criminals.

But imagine UNRWA was spending its budget on AdWords that link from "Israel" to a list of such crimes. I think that would leave a similarly bad taste.
