Similarly with UNRWA, which is responsible for Palestinian refugees. Some of UNRWA's staff were extremists. It's a huge, sprawling org that runs schools, healthcare etc for nearly 6m refugees, 30k+ staff in 5 countries. There are probably extremists in the NHS, but the NHS isn't extremist. 9/
One of the attacks on UNRWA is that it puts a state of permanent, unsettled refugee on Palestinians, meaning that they are less likely to move on with their lives and focus on an unattainable right of return. But again, UNRWA is working on the mandate given it by UN member states. 10/
