"#Israeli KM Yulia Malinovsky held up the keys and the lock of the main door of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (#UNRWA) headquarters in #EastJerusalem during a parliamentary session yesterday bragging that she had locked the building and even the government could not access it as a result.

Malinovsky, who initiated the legislation to ban the #UN agency from #Israel and from working with Israeli government bodies, showed the lock to Knesset members, after raiding the UN agency’s office in East Jerusalem earlier this week."

"The march has been marred by racism and attacks on Palestinians for years, and is preceded by a campaign of violence in the Old City that in effect shuts down #Palestinian majority areas, particularly in the Muslim Quarter."

Thousands of Israeli nationalists chant 'death to Arabs' during annual procession through Jerusalem

Groups of Israeli Jews chanting “Death to Arabs” have made their way through Muslim neighborhoods of Jerusalem’s Old City. It's part of an annual march marking Israel’s conquest of the eastern part of the city. Palestinian shopkeepers closed up early Monday. Police lined the narrow alleys ahead of the march that often becomes a rowdy and sometimes violent procession of ultranationalist Jews. Meanwhile, a small group of protesters stormed a compound in east Jerusalem belonging to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. They included an Israeli member of parliament. The events threatened to inflame tensions after nearly 600 days of war in Gaza.

'Assault on Children': #UNRWA Condemns Israeli Raids on #EastJerusalem Schools

"Now, nearly 800 girls and boys—some as young as 6 years old—are left in shock and trauma."

"#Israeli occupation forces enforced a ban on the #UnitedNations agency for #Palestinian refugees on Thursday by storming three schools in East Jerusalem, terrorizing children and staff as they shuttered the facilities and drawing condemnation from human rights defenders.

According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, heavily armed Israeli security forces raided the schools in the Shu'fat refugee camp in illegally occupied East Jerusalem, detaining one UNRWA employee and forcing around 550 children out of their classrooms as the invaders closed the facilities.

This is extremely problematic because these schools do not instruct with the Palestinian curriculum. It is an Israeli-run curriculum that Palestinians say ignores and erases Palestinian identity.

The Israeli army, through the so-called “border police”, raided those UN facilities – schools for Palestinian refugees in occupied East Jerusalem, six of them, benefiting about 850 students – and they were told they must shut down and that the students will be taken in by Israel’s so-called Jerusalem Municipality schools.
