Then as your organization has done for the Palestinians, let Israel divert the humanitarian aid to line the pockets of its leaders and allow diversion of the money for armaments, and weapons. Moreover, let every Jewish refugee family and their children to receive free benefits forever.

unrwa is the most successful humanitarian organisation ever conceived. It started life with a few hundreds of thousands of refugees, it now has under it's belt a few millions of refugees and will surely have tens of millions of refugees into the future. Keep up the good work!
This is the opposite of what they are supposed to do. They are not supposed to turn refugee status into multigenerational perpetual refugees. Success is when the refugee status of the population you serve is no longer appropriate or necessary.

So performing basic due diligence, perhaps you can update me on who they are currently funded by?

By the way, it seems logical that the Geneva-based "UN Watch" would also have a subsidiary operation called "SourceWatch Watch" - if only because the Swiss were always good with watches.
