UNRWA is a term that I had not heard 6 months ago. Their work, methods and purpose has intrigued me ever since. Karys Rhea understands this issue at its core and joins Hearts of Oak to give the other side of the story. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugee, known as UNRWA, was set up in 1948, just 3 years after the UN started. Karys starts by setting out the story of how and why UNRWA started. A fascinating part of this story is how refugee status of 'Palestinians' is defined. It seems as though this is used to create a Palestinian refugee myth that exists out of hatred for Israel. Which country in the world has dozens of refugee camps in their own country? How much money is used and is the UNRWA corrupt or transparent? Karys exposes this group like you have never heard before.
