On June 2, 2015, the UN held a full-day high-level conference honoring the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) on its 65th anniversary. UNRWA Commissioner General Pierre Krähenbühl used the occasion to commend himself for UNRWA's performance under his leadership. He made no mention of the findings of the UN Secretary General's own Board of Inquiry that UNRWA failed to secure weapons in their schools and even gave weapons back to Hamas - thereby facilitating the commission of war crimes.
The meeting consisted of a day of hate speech and blood libels directed at the UN member state of Israel. Contributions included:
The Permanent Observer of the League of Arab Nations: "...the atrocities of this Israeli war...brutal Israeli shelling..."
Hanan Ashrawi, speaking on behalf of President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas: "...massive devastation and carnage inflicted on the Palestinian civilian population...merciless killing, injury and maiming by the Israeli occupying forces..."
Faris Shehabi, refugee representative from Syria: "...I have a question to the representatives of the occupying forces who are sitting here in this room...Are you enjoying listening to our sufferings? I think that your place is not among us...Your place is in the tribunals prosecuting terrorism, and you should be among Da'esh and other terrorist groups."
Itidal Muammur of Voice of the Land: "We're afraid every day that we're living in these areas in the Arab quarters under the judification of Jerusalem because it is becoming a large Jewish city..."
