CHAPTER

Mistrust and the UN's Role in Middle Eastern Conflicts

This chapter examines the deep-seated mistrust of governmental institutions in Britain, particularly concerning the Israeli government and its interactions with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The discussion highlights the complex relationship between UNRWA and Hamas, critiquing how the agency is perceived to perpetuate anti-Semitism while failing to ensure civilian safety during conflicts. Ultimately, the speakers call for a stronger international narrative about humanitarian efforts in the face of ongoing tensions and allegations of complicity in violence.
