SUMMARY:UNRWA & Israel: The High-Stakes Battle Over Refugees and Aid
DESCRIPTION:UNRWA's ties to terror go back decades\, as do their denials of
  the obvious. Everyone in UNRWA knew and lied\, just as everyone in Gaza k
 new that Hamas was constructing a 500-kilometer tunnel network that divert
 ed construction materials and goods from international aid. As a result\, 
 the international community\, through UNRWA\, funded a vast portion of Ham
 as' operations by freeing it to focus on terrorism rather than health and 
 education.\nRegister Here\nAsaf Romirowsky PhD\, is the Executive Director
  of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East (SPME) and the Association for t
 he Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA). Asaf is also a senior nonr

 udies from King's College London\, UK\, and has published widely on variou
 s aspects of the Arab-Israeli conflict and American foreign policy in the 
 Middle East\, as well as on Israeli and Zionist history.\n\nAsaf is co-aut
 hor of Religion\, Politics\, and the Origins of Palestine Refugee Relief a
 nd a contributor to The Case Against Academic Boycotts of Israel. Recently
 \, he co-edited Word Crimes: Reclaiming the Language of the Israeli-Palest
 inian Conflict\, a special issue of the Journal of Israel Studies.\n\nAsaf
 ’s publicly-engaged scholarship has been featured in The Wall Street Jou
 rnal\, The National Interest\, The American Interest\, The New Republic\,
